EducationUser Experience3MediumParent

A parent is frustrated that the ClassDojo app demands excessive setup and irrelevant questions when they only want basic communication with their child's school, making the app invasive and inconvenient.

The app has shifted from a simple communication tool to one that requests unnecessary personal information and presents too many unwanted tasks, causing friction for users who only need basic messaging.
