I feel this already, and we have only started WEEK 3 of PRE-K with our first kid! I have already made three attempts at getting into the app for Art class (wtf), which, btw, the art teacher shared on class dojo with a QR code (how am i supposed to scan this on my phone, from my phone??). Why she simply could not be bothered to use class dojo, since she is ALREADY ON THERE is lost on me. And I guess I will never know, since I cannot access the very special app she is using.
The number of times I've screenshot something on my phone, emailed it to myself, and then opened it on my computer, only so that I can then scan the QR code.... WHY.
Oh, the apps! I am the one who has to do the apps at my office because my husband can't make them work. I have 7 kids sports apps and 12 school/education apps on my phone right now! And the schools send out information via social media, so it would be difficult to give up Instagram.
TBH, I have opted out of school apps for my middle schooler and high schooler. In the event I want to check on their assignments or grades, I log in on a computer. I endeavor to log in no more than once a week and only *with* my middle schooler who needs more organizational support. Having it available on my phone was bad for my mental health.

I needed this rant space. Thanks!
"how am i supposed to scan this on my phone, from my phone??"
I have this same question!
Our PTA not only sends out flyers with QR codes, the flyer is like a picture so none of the hyperlinks work. And yet, they just keep on doing it.

This all sounds like a major edition of WTF to me!!! There HAS to be a better way, doesn't there? Am I just old?!
