A Classroom Matrix Q&A (derived from actual emails!)
12 years ago
General
1. Why isn't "" working?
Because unfortunately it hasn't been integrated yet.
2. Why aren't you making this go faster?
While I did spend fifteen and a half hours yesterday styling it, unfortunately I only have a limited knowledge of CakePHP so further implementations are a tad over my head.
3. When is it going to be finished?
As much as I truly wish I could provide a date, I can't. At the moment the start of term is delayed indefinitely. Our primary coder is going to be working on what she can tonight and the Classroom Matrix coder stated that he would work on it when he got off work today. So, hopefully, not very much longer.
4. Is this going to affect the length of the term?
Absolutely not! You will still have six weeks to get everything done. I put vacations in between terms for a reason, and some of the summer camp sessions are MUCH longer than six weeks. So fixing the calendar will be easy.
5. The classrooms are up, why can't we start?
The issue is that none of the extracurricular classes are up, which means you'd have a very short time period in which to complete those assignments. While boards such as the Nurse's Office, Tutoring, and Cafeteria are "semi" unneeded, and they are currently lowest priority, we need to make sure that all classes/comments are up and running. We also need to make sure that your comments cascade as they are intended to, that you can receive notifications, and that you can upload pictures (especially for the Art Studio.)
6. Is this going to happen every term?
Thankfully no. Once the Classroom Matrix is done, it's done. We aren't replacing it.
7. I hate you!
Unfortunately I can't say as I blame you, but I promise I'm doing everything in my power to get this up as quickly as possible. Please know that I've tried my hardest to get everything done in time. There are just, unfortunately, somethings that are out of my hands. Once it IS up, I hope that you'll love me again. I do love you ^^.
Sincerely yours,
Principal Tusks
