Stratford students have been using Google Classroom for a long time now. It is simple, convenient, and very easy to use. Unfortunately, we recently received the news that Stratford will be switching to Schoology instead. Schoology has its merits; however, we feel that it is not as straightforward and convenient as Google Classroom.
For one, Schoology is not as reliable as Google Classroom, as it crashes when there are too many people using it. We students rely heavily on Schoology to turn in homework and check new updates, and for a website that is used so frequently by so many people, reliability is key.
Also, uploading homework assignments to Schoology can be a hassle, as we need to upload files and images, which then could take up to an hour to convert into a viewable format. Google Classroom is directly linked to Google Drive, so it reduces the amount of work we need to do to turn in an online assignment, and since distance learning is mostly online, Google Classroom would naturally be the better option.
We Stratford students would respectfully ask that you consider our appeal to continue using Google Classroom. Thank you for your consideration.

Considering the fact that Stratford has been using the Google ecosystem for quite some time now, I support this protest. The UI is just better, especially since us students use Chrome.
I used to like schoology at the beginning,but now it is such a burden.I turn my assignments in,and it does not register it and it says I turned it in late.Turning in assignments is ridiculously hard and keeping track of everything is harder than ever.Google Classroom is better and easier to manage.I doubt this petition will change anything,but I hope it does.
I agree with every single student in Stratford. Schoology is very complicated on the student's end. Plus, even with the few days of using Schoology, it has crashed multiple times! So far, I have not received 7 assignments that my classmates have received! Google Classroom for life!
Schoology just looks way more complicated than GC. Its already having problems for me like not able to login to my Language Arts Course.
it's annoying to switch to something completely new to everyone after years of the first one. it was also only told a week in advance...
THIS IS OG we need to keep
I strongly agree

I understand the school's reasons for switching to schoology, but right now with the coronavirus was not the best time to make this switch. Please let us go back to google classroom, and introduce schoology at a better time if you must.
