It seems that there was either no effort or no solution of any sort was found (I'm speaking only about my child's school here). Not even 15 minutes per day? 15 minutes per week?
It's not that sort of abuse they're on about though, it's abuse from outside sources. That's why so many governments have banned their schools from using Zoom. Basically as soon as you have an account, your meeting ID stays the same and then anyone can share it making it available to anyone. You have a waiting room where you can check everyone before they come in, but in reality, you get kids coming in with a name that's not their own (on their parents' device for example) and don't know how to use it. We were originally going to use another program for this exact reason, but we trialled it and they simply couldn't handle the demand and it kept crashing.
