My daughter is in 3rd grade and has to do assignments online.

Last month it was a presentation. She had to make a poster that would be displayed on the big electronic "whiteboard" running Windows of some sort. The page layout software was so terrible that she repeatedly deleted the entire thing on accident moving text around.

This month, it was a short paper she had to write in Word, but through Teams. Literally, the Word icon is in the Teams sidebar, and she also had all kinds of trouble with it freezing or misbehaving.

In both cases, I advised her to write all the content in Notes in macOS and when she had it all ready to go we'd paste it into the crappy software so she didn't have to worry about losing any more work.

Long story short, she's non-technical and she's learned a very valuable lesson about these systems and how much trust to place in them.
