"Effortless correspondence with parents"
5/5
What do you like best about TalkingPoints?

Talking Points is the easiest way for teachers to connect with parents. It's an app that alerts your parents to new messages for quick communication. Additionally, parents can have the messages translated into their home language. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TalkingPoints?

At this point, the only downside is having to set up our classes every year. It would be nice if Talking Points were able to "talk" to our grading system so that we could just pull in the members of each class. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Important Communication Tool for All Languages."
5/5
What do you like best about TalkingPoints?

It's so wonderful to be able to talk to all of my students' families. It's really been a useful tool for me this year for positive and negative communications. Other platforms don't translate into the family home language and that's been so helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TalkingPoints?

I dislike my district's log in process to get to TalkPoints.

I also think the desktop platform could be better organized. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Talking Points has transformed our school"
5/5
What do you like best about TalkingPoints?

We have a very diverse student population at our school and we appreciate being able to send messages home that can be translated into the students' home languages. We really appreciate being able to reach all of the families simply and for them to respond back. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about TalkingPoints?

Sometimes, the translation is not always accurate for what we are trying to say. I am not sure what kind of translation application is being used. As a school, we'd like to see this part improved for better communication with families. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
