Students will not leave the zoom call or be asked to sign up for any additional outside accounts. Students will see some Youtube videos that relate to class content. Many students will try to skip this class, tell their parents it is terrible, and do anything they can to try and avoid it. Some students will log in for the last 5 minutes or the first 5 to show that they attended and then leave. 1. Ensure that your student knows that we will send daily reports to you about whether they attended, how long they attended, and whether they participated or not. 2. That you ensure that they do and complete the homework. 3. That you don't jump to the conclusion that we have not vetted our materials or that the class is "bad." The majority of students in these classes do not want to be in them. 4. We do not offer a refund on this class past the withdraw date for the above reason. 5. This class may leave your student feeling upset or angry when they learn how companies are purposely addicting kids to video games and tricking them. Some students may also become upset when they realize that they see themselves in some of our examples.
