A pattern worth a look
Several learners asked “what is the whole?”
That could mean equal parts need another look, or some learners were just rushing. Ponder might be wrong here; you know the class.

Schools awaiting verification
Verify a school only after checking it is a real school and the person who set it up works there. Verified schools can invite parents.
Friends and chat
Reported messages
Only the reported message is shown, never the rest of the conversation. Both children’s families were told and can read the whole chat. Dismiss if it’s fine; Action if it broke the rules (then contact the families and block or switch off Friends as needed).
The Quest tools only change the sample data saved on this device. School verification shows a school’s name and location only. Admin mode never shows families’ or students’ records, except a chat message someone reported.
