> Teachers are reporting
FYI, some teachers were unhappy with the shutting down of the classroom feature on repl.it and the replacing it with Teams for education.
Some were unhappy after having everything setup in classroom, then had to migrate to teams. Some were unhappy it wasn't free. Some were unhappy it was free only for basically a semester, which won't last a full AP CS A course (so if they were in a rush to start, they'd be stuck having to pay, or else they'd have to switch mid-course, which is hard, and if the school refuses to pay because it's not budgeted, then stuck to pay means out of own pocket.).
Of course you have to cheerlead your product. That's understandable. THought you'd like to know some feedback anyway.
