Your school sounds very much like ours. I'm a little more hands off on the Canvas stuff, as there's an expectation that our 6th grader should be largely self-sufficient, which she is. The lack of standardization among teachers even in the same building, never mind between different schools, was an oft-repeated complaint during the open-house retrospectives the school district held during the summer, so it looks like that's something they've really tried to address.


I dealt with that issue, last night. The room my daughter was using for school is on the opposite side of the house from our wifi router. She spent 3 of 4 periods in the hallway upstairs, so she could connect properly. I was up until 1:30am last night configuring some old ActionTec routers to act as a MoCA bridge, and putting an AP downstairs for her.

Our 2GHz band is crowded as all get out, and we're in single family dwelling. I should really get a 5 GHz mesh system set up, but since this is working for now...

There's a reason my desktop is wired.
