Duval Schools, FL

Funny how DCPS struggles and telling us exactly where our money is going, struggles to get our children home on the bus buses they said they would be able to use to get to magnet schools, now requires us to pay up to four dollars per meal for lunches at the schools, on top of the fees that they charge to buy those lunches at the schools, on top of the fees that we get charged to pay for other fees through the school, cash app… but to make matters all the better they can’t seem to get the app to work that we need other apps that they insisted we use. They took perfectly functioning communication systems between parents and teacher teachers at the schools away and insisted on their broken and likely haphazardly purchased applications. I wonder why they can’t find the money to build the schools they promised, the district is incompetent.

When the teachers drop a message in “ROOM”, I click on the box nothings appears. I exit and close app, then open again. Nothing appears. I have to completely delete the app, redownload, then open app again in order to view message. Thrillshare needs better development programming. This is becoming too much and it’s only second week of school returning.

Genuine question, what is the point of having an app that redirects to the website? The app is overly complex and has too much going on at once. But at the same time, parents need so many different apps just to communicate between the school district, the school, the teachers and the classrooms. I have had the worst experience with every app needing a new login and then still having bugs and not allowing access. Whatever committee had given the green light on the DCPS app design and to also make the choice to use so many different apps for communication need to re-assess everything. There has got to be a different way to make things less complicated and this is certainly not even close.
