When it comes to turning in assignments or updating grades when remote learning, many teachers choose to use Synergy, or StudentVUE as recommended by the district. However, many students complain about teachers not updating grades, the website or app not working, issues with Zoom meeting links, trouble logging in, or the website being difficult in general. “I personally dislike StudentVue because it is so confusing. I have had problems turning in assignments in the past and am glad that all of my teachers who have regular homework decided to use alternatives. At this point, I don’t know if StudentVue is worth saving. I appreciated the district trying to create an easy to access platform where students can go to turn in all of their assignments, but that doesn’t help students if the website doesn’t work. At the end of the day, I believe that using better platforms to complete homework was a smart option and I’m glad that the district realized this and let teachers use other websites where students can complete assignments,” Videl Nelson said.
