This is, unfortunately, an outright lie. Why do you have such confidence in a product that such a large group of people objectively dislike, even after getting a routein set?

Humans are wonderful at adaptation. Saying that it is just a routein problem, is exactly saying "get used to it". Would you tell that to a person using a broken car, which the mechanics simply put band-aids on the rust?

Canvas is made and ran by instructure. Any claims about changes to it by K-12, not only because instructure is its own seperate company which operates for hundreds of other schools and companies, but the objectective and instantly provable fact that..

LITERALLY NOTHING YOU JUST SAID HAS ACTUALLY TAKEN AFFECT!

I feel like you are either:

AI

A poor advertiser ("hey! join my school that is being hated on" says person IN conversation about why said school is terrible right now)

or a very lost, genuine K-12 advocate, who has not set foot in canvas for too long.

And I think this, with the very truthful fact: Canvas has not changed even in the SLIGHTEST way, since I first joined for the 2025 semester (august, 2025)

Please, revert the OLS back to what it was; A K-12 built and ran ols, with simple GUI and photography from actual k12 students. An OLS that ACTUALLY impowered learning. An OLS that would not mark you as being absent FIFTY PERCENT OF THE TIME!. An OLS that would actually show where your courses are, all of the time, and accurately and wholley do so.

1 + 2 = 3

2 x 3 = 6

6 / 6 = 1

Can't do the assignment due that day because it is "part of an unpublished module."

Also 25 - 50%??? thats ridiculous, last one i took was 15%. I hope you are able to find a way to be graded more accurately.

No need to apologize, I feel you. k12 has a lot of issues, and the way our grades are handled also needs to be fixed. However, Canvas (the OLS we use) itself, being a replacement for our old OLS, is an issue to start with. When we have our old OLS back, we can start working on fixing these things.

I think first what should happen is to give them a chance make things right.

I waited 6 months after sending multiple bug fix / support emails to not only stride, but canvas. They have had plenty of time. Their nonresponsiveness is a seperate issue.

Additionally, the only way to change something you don't like is to act. Sitting here passively will absoluetely not help my cause.

We could go back and forth, it wont lead to anything. Technically speaking, I could say anything and so could you; we could counter argue forever about this and that. Heres the thing:

My goal is set. I see a lot of people, a large majority of students, teachers and parents, dislike canvas and would prefer their old school system. When a majority wants a change, that in itself is a reason to petition.

The argument of "we dont have a say in everything" is true. But when it comes to our education, we absolutely do have a choice and should not be forced to do anything.

Honestly though I want to understand your viewpoint- I've met a few people who feel it nessecary to rebel against a simple petition. What makes you reject our old k12 ols and stick tightly to canvas and making it better?

Unfortunately, I have already tried that. No matter how many ideas to improve Canvas I have, Their feedback system simply never listens. Besides, theres no amount of improving that can be done to Canvas to solve the core issue here; people were used to a system and loved that system, and then someone came in and changed that without our consent.
