Yep!!! This teacher is on the verge of a mental breakdown! Send a house cleaner who makes bomb margs
Needtolaughmore
My kids have been back for 3 weeks and it still fucks up daily. November is the earliest they can go back........for now. I doubt they will.
sureasyourebornyourenevergoingtoseenounicorn
It’s the 2020 equivalent of a snow day, good for the kids
AlaSnackbar
Our school district switched to goole meet.
datester35
I personally prefer ghoul meat
Hornsoup
Zoom: Academy For Superheroes/Box office 12.5 million USD.
Correlation?
IamJacksanxiety
Yep. My son enjoyed his free day
gnomegenome
So a platform that sucks ended up sucking? Wow.
OriginalEducatedCohort
Reynoldsburg, Ohio here. Same.... Kids freaked out because they thought they were in trouble... So shitty
Chavestvaldt
A few of my professors just went 'fuck this' and invited us to their personal discord servers, which means sometimes I see them playing WoW
zrb0198
I work with kids with autism and it was shutdown blocking telehealth sessions for pretty much all day.
Devils41
Insert "Mr Burbs Excellent" gif here. MS Teams and Cisco Webex right now.

School systems/cities relying on a free version of a paid service almost nobody heard of 5 months ago was always going to be a struggle
Kabibble
No school systems are using the free version.
Sasarious
You would be surprised...
Papabehhr
Lol.. can confirm
IrishPub
The only issue I had was that the teacher joined a different meeting and left all of the students in the room he was supposed to be in.
papayaofthesun
This is one reason asynchronous distance learning should be more heavily considered.
chlove744
By the time zoom figures it out, the schools will start going in a different direction. My kids teachers are stretched too thin.
grrlinmoon
It was..it was typical
Zzzinthevalley
It’s not canceled here on the west coast, but has been glitchy
StellarJay77
That's cause everyone else east has already given up on it hours ago.
llamasaylol
Microsoft Teams or even Cisco Webex will work out better if you can push the school towards it.
Merrigan917
My school actually uses Webex, and it even integrates pretty well with Canvas. And some professors still insist on using Zoom...
LegendaryGrumpyCat
Webex devours internet bandwidth. I am having problems with kids staying connected when their siblings are also on it.
Merrigan917
Ah, I guess I didn't really think about the strain of multiple users using it on the same network. That sucks.
LegendaryGrumpyCat
So far google meet has done well. But it doesn't have nearly as many features as the others.
llamasaylol
If the school already uses Office 365, then IIRC you get Teams with it.
dieselweezel
no you dont. You get teams now for free due to the pandemic for up to 1 year. But Teams is an additional cost to most 365 plans
koops
Lol zoom. It was shit before the pandemic! Suddenly everyone’s trying to use it. And it was Swiss cheesed with security holes to boot!
NationalOrganizationOfMenAgainstAmazonianMasterhood
I was slated for a 6 hour client call on Zoom today. No connection issues and we got out of there in 2 hours cuz clients are idiots.
deba94
Whoever thought that meeting was actually going to be 6 hours doesn't understand the point of meetings.
fantastapotamus
in my experience most meetings are 5 minutes relevant information, 55 minutes of "when can I go back to work?"
ReginaKasteen
That's remarkable, my experience with idiots is they'll sooner turn a 2hr call into a 6hr one than the reverse.
Hippocrene
Exactly what I was thinking
NationalOrganizationOfMenAgainstAmazonianMasterhood
We gave em the ol razzle dazzle "We'll need to explore options with our team and get back to you." That knocked 3 hours of agenda items off.
Atwthepig
Pfft. Clients who needs em?
iceynyo
No one needs clients, they just need the clients' money.
teknoanimal
This job would be great if it wasn't for the customers.
KellyCrazyCatLadyinTraining
That’s literally the only reason why I don’t want to be a teacher; a lot of parents are idiots & also don’t discipline their children.
blaghart
As someone who runs an etsy store the sheer level of dumb I get from clients is incredible
Atwthepig
I saw this online at another store for cheaper
JustManuel
I know its a tad mean, but out of sheer curiosity. Whats the Top 5 of stupid things that annoys you the most? If you would like to share :=
blaghart
Generally I get "Hey can you make Halo Reach armor? Can I get it unpainted?". My store has 1 listing for armor. It lists such things as
blaghart
"Halo Reach" and the price, and "UNPAINTED Halo Reach" and the price.
blaghart
The other one I get is "Can I get a discount?" No.
sunyudai
You mean you can't just ship it to me today? Her birthday party is tonight!
HurrDurrImABurr
I could easily make this myself and the material is nowhere worth as much as what you're asking. I'll give you half the price.
blaghart
I make armor, too. People seem to think I just have completed suits in their size lying around. /a/cAJjp
sunyudai
Ah, very nice. I'm the sound guy for a local sci-fi convention masquerade.
bingtittletittlebong
it's like the imgur hug of death but on a national level
BayazTheBenevolent
It's called DDoS, or Distributed Denial of Service.
TiredOfTheBS
Is there any reason to believe this was an attack? I thought it was just a standard capacity issue.
BayazTheBenevolent
Just to be clear, DDoS is just the name of the phenomenon. It doesn't have to be intentional or an attack.

DenitoOoO
World. Argentina here, outage as well
PopeBruce
Google Classroom here we didn't have any issues
echonite
my kids school is using teams. not much better, but eh.
NorberttheNutjob
the worst is that i guarantee their system is set up to effortlessly expand server space as they need it because.. 1/2
NorberttheNutjob
thats how every company does it these days. they just plain couldn't be arsed to expand servers in time.
Kabibble
It was an internal issue that the engineering team identified fairly quickly to resolve...it wasn’t capacity. That’s all I can say though
NorberttheNutjob
ill just trust you know more about it than I
Kabibble
Tankgirl79
It was fixed just as mine went on. She wasn't amused
Aaronb1138
Zoom's massive recent success is because it has ever so slightly less friction in use than every competitor. It's not the best and lacks
Aaronb1138
a lot of integrations Teams or WebEx have, but it's the easiest for the dumbest people to use.
BunnyBooBear69
As a systems admin, i practically guarantee you thats how it started. The moment 'zoom' became synonymous with 'WFH' is no small reason, too
Aaronb1138
I am a network guy... at a company that sells security and cloud VPN products. The last 6 months have been insanity.
BunnyBooBear69
Oh i bet. I dont do a ton of networking, but i did most of the ssl vpn work. Especially when it came to redesigning the backend messes
BunnyBooBear69
That accrued over time, such as inconsistent LDAP integrations, etc.
PinkSodaMix
How many MMORPG releases have we lived through with over loaded servers? And this was surprising?
lokishadowgirl
prof. got it working for the next class. whoopie
crann
prof here too, "unfortunately" I didn't have any issued this morning. Held both my classes with zero issues. *shrug*
MyDixyRect
I have a class in 3 hours. I'm actual looking forward to it. First time back in college since 07.
crann
Congrats! Best of luck!!
roach79
Yep. Ours froze. Teacher dropped out, never returned. No email, no communication, no follow up. End of school for second grade.
20GoldPiecesAndImWankeredOnRohypnol
There are so many other video/voice chat programs. Is it Zoom or nothing for these schools?
DarkShroud
Between Boomers in upper positions & teachers lacking in tech skills yes. Using free Skype let alone Teams or Webex wasn't even a thought.
Kittynomnoms
Honestly I'd rather even use Discord than Zoom.
DarkShroud
I think Discord would start crashing under that strain. Plus I do not want a bunch of elementary kids and Karen teachers on Discord.
Ceistebi
We're using Microsoft Teams cause the university pays for it.
MyNameIsntChris
Yup, same. Class is at 100+ people sometimes yet we never had any connection issues. It even has a raise a hand feature
TiredOfTheBS
I’m loving Together Mode. It actually helps with meeting fatigue! At first I thought it was just a gimmick.
