- Mobile Unfriendliness: Weebly sites are not responsive. On an iPhone, the text is tiny, and you have to pinch-and-zoom constantly. Students try to do homework on phones, and they will rage-quit a Weebly.
- Aesthetic Fatigue: Every Weebly looks the same. After the third teacher uses the exact same “paper texture” background, students’ eyes glaze over. It lacks the gamification or sleekness of platforms like Google Classroom or Canvas.
- Dead Links & Forgotten Pages: This is the #1 problem. I’ve clicked on “Unit 4 Study Guide” only to land on a blank page that says “Under Construction.” In April. That’s frustrating for everyone.

- Monday: Visits the site to watch the "Unit Preview" video and print the vocabulary list.
- Wednesday: Uses the "Interactive Map" page to memorize the Underground Railroad routes for a 5-minute drill.
- Friday: Downloads the Review Sheet from the "Unit Page" and watches the Crash Course History embedded video to prepare for Monday's quiz.
- Sunday: Parents check the "Grades" page (linked to a Google Sheet) and the "Upcoming Events" calendar.
