It would be great if students could private message teachers, but NOT each other.

I disagree with you because what if we have a partner project and we need to contact each other to get it done that way we don't fail, but wait we can't because your feature made us unable to do that!

I was using the chat feature to correspond with my Learning Support students on and off through out the day. The school had to disable it as a result of a few students not managing the chat well. Now as a teacher I find I resort back to emailing my students to let them know important things for their learning.

This would be invaluable and would be an important additional channel of communication with students! Please add!

Some ideas what individual communication could look like. A cheerful ding or a sad buzzer sound. Perhaps a white or red box appear around the screen. A thumbs up or down appear on the screen. The screen vibrates. Something so we can get the attention of individual students.

This is needed ASAP. I can't turn off chat feature, the students and I need it to communicate with each other, but I would prefer their communications be posts in the general room, so I can monitor it.

are u mf stupid you musty crusty dusty siberian husky if the students private messages were disabled then i would have no one to talk to during quarentene. Honestly consider the circumstances all of gen z is slowly going insane after seeing the same 4 walls since spring.And to be frank the "private" messages aren't even private. My teachers told us they can see when we text and what we text. And u know whats worse some kids dont even got no phones so they cant ni ask no one for their digits.Parents, please allow your kids to talk to there friends via text or any way that they have for long hours because it is their only connection to the outside world.

Definitely agree. Adding private channels for each student is not practical. Please add functionality.

This would be a great feature especially when there are ESE students in the gen ed class. The ability to have a private chat feature would allow the ESE Teacher to assist them during their gen ed lesson.

I don't mind if students can chat with each other.
What I really want is that I as the teacher can use the chat individually with my students. For some reason, the student CAN send me a chat. However, when I try to send them a chat, the chat bar says "Administrator has disabled chat for this user." (meaning for me). It is NOT ok that students can send me a chat, but I can't. Please see the attached picture to see how my student sent me stickers and a text, but I was unable to reply.
