My son was introduced to this website by a teacher. We just found out that students are not using it for homework. It is being abused and used as a social media outlet for kids to just talk about whatever they want to talk about. My son was talking to kids from another state... They were having conversations that had nothing to do with school! This concerned me as there is no safe guards or filters put in place to keep kids from accountable... This could lead to bullying, human trafficking, porn etc. This is a great idea for a program but needs to be censored, monitoring, guarded so students and parents can learn in safe environment.
