Mrs. Whiteman

My daughter is a student of Mrs. Whiteman and that’s the reason I got in touch with Mrs. Whiteman and got to know her. Mrs. Whiteman is an Amazing Teacher, awesome human being and always ready to help student and also satisfy parents with Their questions, irrespective of the time and day. She helped me during the weekend which no teacher will do and I really appreciate that.
Thank you Mrs. Whiteman. It was awesome working with you over the summer.

Some bad UI elements

This app should not interrupt my audio player on launch. The notification badge number is also always incorrect. It will show 5 or 7 when I have one new message.

Needs work

There should be a way to archive or delete announcements from your stream once you’ve read them.
Also, as a parent I should be able to message multiple teachers at once.

this sucks

I hate it. I hate it. I hate it. I hate it. I hate it. I hate it. I hate it.
