We use Teams at the school I teach at for some reason the higher ups can never quite articulate. It is awful. Ungodly awful. Every day it's a new adventure. The school issued computers are underpowered and windows + Teams easily brings them to their knees to the point that kids just can't do work. It's embarrassing and disgraceful.

The platform has been missing huge features for years that are needed in the educational landscape. Only now after using the platform for 4 ish years is it getting true quality of life features for the education field.

It's a shit product that reeks of me too syndrome when compared to Chromebooks and Google's educational suite (even though I'm not much of a Google fan either they are clearly the defacto standard in the space).

Teams should be banished from usage in schools because of how bad it is and how much it hinders students. I'd hate technology if I had to use Teams as a student every day. It's that bad.

Maybe this update will only break a few things and make one currently broken thing 2% better. That's the usual Microsoft formula.
