Math teacher forced to use flawed software, maliciously complies with the help of her students: 'She had an army of eighth graders [...] send thousands of emails to the CEO'

Teachers have to put up with more in one class than what most folks have to put up with in their entire careers.

As the child of a teacher, I can attest that it's far more than lesson planning, class time, and grading. It's also dealing with bureaucratic nonsense, entitled parents, difficult kids, and strange administrative policies that make absolutely no sense. In the case of this story, we are primarily dealing with the lattermost scenario. Here, we have an eighth-grade math teacher who was forced to use a completely flawed software that frequently got math problems wrong. Despite numerous attempts to communicate this fact to the higher-ups, the administration refused to believe the teacher and instead blamed her age as the reason for any technological problems. So, all the teacher could do was contact the company directly, and that's exactly what she did… with the help of her entire class. 

It turns out the best part about teaching eighth grade is that you can bribe your students with gummy bears. Keep scrolling below for the full story and for the consequences of this nonsensical company's software platform.
