Nearly half of schools in
Paterson have dealt with intruders in their virtual classrooms flaunting
obscenities.
Superintendent Eileen F.
Shafer says kids are sharing links to Google classrooms with people
who don't belong.
Twenty-five kids are responsible
for the disturbances, with half being identified.
In a letter to parents, Shafer says, in part, “The Information Technology Department is currently in
dialogue with officials at Google to rapidly deploy the enhancements that give
Google Meet moderators greater control over their meetings. Students who
disrupt any virtual classroom with obscene material will be suspended for 10
days and lose their technology privileges while they are suspended."
