The problems themselves
Highest opportunity score first.
A teacher who relied on Quizlet to house all vocabulary lists for every unit and class must migrate to a new platform after school banned Quizlet for privacy reasons, but the suggested alternative (Knowt) has limited free storage and no paid option available from the school.

Read this fairly
These are complaints, and only complaints — nobody posts to say their software worked. A high count mostly reflects how many people use Quizlet at all, so this page is not a quality judgement and should not be read as one. What it is good for is the shape of the gaps: the specific jobs people could not get done, which are the same whether the tool is popular or not.
