## What is Google Classroom?

Classroom is a free service for schools, non-profits, and anyone with a personal Google account. Classroom makes it easy for learners and instructors to connect—inside and outside of schools. Classroom saves time and paper, and makes it easy to create classes, distribute assignments, communicate, and stay organized.

Classroom is designed to help teachers create, collect, and grade assignments paperlessly, including time-saving features like the ability to automatically make a copy of a Google Document for each student. It also creates Drive folders for each assignment and for each student to help keep everyone organized.

Students can keep track of what’s due on the Assignments page and begin working with just a click. Teachers can quickly see who has or hasn't completed the work, and provide direct, real-time feedback and grades right in Classroom.

With the mobile app for iOS, students and teachers can view their classes and communicate with their classmates in real time. Students can open their assignments and work on them right from their iPhone or iPad. Teachers can keep track of who has turned in work and grade the assignment - at school or on the go. Students and teachers receive notifications when they have new content in Classroom, so they are always up to date.

There are many benefits of using Classroom:

Easy to set up
Teachers can add students directly or share a code with their class to join. It takes just minutes to set up.

Saves time
The simple, paperless assignment workflow allows teachers to create, review, and grade assignments quickly, all in one place.

Improves organization
Students can see all of their assignments on an assignments page, and all class materials (e.g., documents, photos, and videos) are automatically filed into folders in Google Drive.

Enhances communication
Classroom allows teachers to send announcements and start class discussions instantly. Students can share resources with each other or provide answers to questions on the stream.

Secure
Like the rest of Google Workspace for Education services, Classroom contains no ads, never uses your content or student data for advertising purposes.

Permissions Notice:
Camera: Needed to allow the user to take photos or videos and post them to Classroom.
Microphone: Needed to enable audio capture for recording videos to be posted to Classroom.

### 1/5 — だるい

*2026-08-23*

通知には新しいお知らせがありますとだけ書いてて通知からアプリにとんでもアプリが起動するだけでどのクラスのお知らせなのか結局わからない。多分投稿に資料や課題を添付されているものは重複して通知されていることがある。学校の授業が自分で選択するタイプなのでクラスの数が膨大になり、一つの通知に対して全部のクラスをひらいて確認するのはそれなりに時間がかかります。ここまではそのうち改善してくれればいい話ですがここからです。レビューを見てると1年前、2年前に似ている内容のレビューを残されているのにもかかわらず未だに改善されていないことです。運営からの返信もないようです。学校から指定されている以上このアプリを使うしかないんです。レビューを読んで改善するかこれ以上何も変える気がないならサービスを終了してください

### 3/5 — I can see work

*2026-08-23, version 3.64.300050730*

I can see work

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2026-08-21, version 3.64.300050730*

It’s plain out stupid

### 1/5 — trauma in a nutshell.

*2026-08-21, version 3.64.300050730*

something about riding your bike to the sound of “it’s no big deal”

### 1/5 — Well, well, well……

*2026-08-20, version 3.64.300050730*

Me: I couldn’t walk for a year after the accident 
Them: What accident?
Me: my birth-AHEM-me using Google Classroom

Moral of the story: don’t use Google Classroom, or you want be able to walk for a year.

### 2/5 — The most important thing is useless

*2026-08-20*

I need classroom for school of course and I need the notifications to keep me on track of my work and assignments but the notifications do nothing. I get a notification that says you have a new assignment so I tap on it and it just takes me to all the classes. It doesn’t take me to the new assignment which is useless. What’s the point of telling me I have an assignment but you don’t tell me what it is and you don’t take me too it? Either way, I still have to have the app for school. The notifications used to say what the assignment was but then it changed. It was much more useful when it actually told me what it was. If you’re gonna change the notifications just make it so they at least take me to the assignment or private comment or announcement. Like you say I have a new assignment, that’s great, what’s the assignment? And you keep changing it. You have it so the notifications are helpful and say the assignment then you change it and now it just says I have an assignment. Like are there people telling you to have it so it doesn’t say the assignment? As far as I’ve seen, people definitely agree with me and I don’t now why you keep going back and forth.
Other than that…it’s ok. Everything else works fine but for me the notifications are the most important and that’s what you’re failing at. Please change it.

### 3/5 — Not bad

Why Google Classroom Sucks

Google Classroom is honestly one of the worst things ever invented. I would rather do literally anything else than open Google Classroom. Every time I see that little Classroom icon, I already know my day is about to get worse.

First of all, it is SO BUGGY. I click on an assignment and it takes forever to load. Then I click it again because I think it didn’t work, and suddenly it opens five times. Sometimes I turn something in and Google Classroom acts like I never did it. BRO, I JUST TURNED IT IN! How am I supposed to prove I did my homework if the app doesn’t even know what is happening?

And there is ALWAYS homework. You open the app and BOOM, 17 missing assignments. Like bro, I just got home. Can I breathe for five seconds? Teachers act like we have nothing else to do except stare at Google Classroom all day. I swear they think homework is a hobby.

And don’t even get me started on teachers. Some teachers give you one assignment and then randomly add five more at 10:47 PM. WHY?! I hate school sometimes because it feels like school follows you home. I already spent all day there! Let me go play games or something.

Another thing that sucks is when an assignment says “Due at 11:59 PM.” That means I’m going to remember it at 11:58 PM and start panicking. Then Google Classroom decides to load slower than a potato. Now I’m sitting there staring at my screen while the spinning loading circle has basically become my best friend.

School would honestly be way better if teachers gave less homework and Google Classroom stopped being so buggy. Unfortunately, that will probably never happen because teachers apparently LOVE assigning stuff.

In conclusion, Google Classroom sucks, homework sucks, the app is buggy, and sometimes school and teachers suck too. I just want to go home, eat some food, play games, and NOT have 47 assignments waiting for me. Thank you for listening to my very important essay.
