## SchoolBrains Reviews
  ### 1. Do NOT waste your time with schoolbrains

**Rating:** 0.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Steven L. | Teacher, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 27, 2021

**What do you like best about SchoolBrains?**

absolutely nothing, this website is awful

**What do you dislike about SchoolBrains?**

I have honors and standard-level students in the same class.  Now they are also split into remote and in-person students.  This means i have  FOUR different pages i need to open to take attendance every period.  I have FOUR different pages to open when I'm posting grades.  I have to enter assignments FOUR separate times so my FOUR different gradebooks are all the same.   Again this is all for ONE period out of six. taking attendance 24 times in a day is obnoxious.

And this is only one issue with this website

**Recommendations to others considering SchoolBrains:**

I recommend not using schoolbrains

**What problems is SchoolBrains solving and how is that benefiting you?**

There are no benefits. I use google classrooms and have to transfer over to schoolbrains because my district demands it.

Schoolbrains should ask teachers what we want the website to do. Listen to feedback from THE PEOPLE USING THE SERVICE!!
