      I know my kids have legitimately used social media at school:

      – for group projects, where the online classroom stuff is useless

      — for current events in various social studies, history, and law and government classes

      As a perfect example, my kid is taking a “virtual high school” class for something his school doesn’t normally offer. They had to use social media to coordinate a group project they just completed . Before someone says the school should provide something, in this case they couldn’t because each member school has their own distinct online classroom stuff that can’t coordinate
