Students in Queensland will soon be able to tell their teachers how they are feeling through the use of emojis.

The new technology aims to encourage children to use the popular ideograms, usually reserved for texting and social media messaging.

The feature will allow students to communicate with the teacher, telling them whether they are happy, bored or confused. The technology will be introduced as part of a greater focus on mental health and well-being in schools. Image: Getty

What?

Perhaps the teachers might actually help their students by assisting them to learn by communicating in the normal way. Another education department captured by the lazy latte left.

And we were worried how helicopter mums would affect the mental development of their kids, now universities and schools are continuing the practice.

Well grammar and spelling is computerised why not emotions to disguise the generalised .

My Opinion Is, It's Always Good To Get Youth Talking About How They're Feeling BUT,An Emojis Is Not Really The BEST Method To Identify Serious & Systemic Issues With Our Youth-BEST Way To Solve An Issue (Esp. One That Stems Fr: Tech. Is To REMOVE YOUTH From The TECH. FIRST Asap!

I interview staff to hire. Half fail the interview because they cannot even converse with you. I guess there is just going to be a lot more out of work.

👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎

Are you serious! Give them a pillow and a dummy as well. It is not the teachers job in the first instance to be worried about how kids are feeling that is a PARENTS job. Teachers should NOT be expected to take this on. It is more then an emoji the Qld GIverment is expecting

🙄

Where’s the emoji for changing gender? How will teachers know? Shocking and exclusionary.

Who ever comes up with this crap should be sacked immediately.. If the Minister was involved they should go also...

Good idea❣Cool!

are teachers really that stupid that they can't tell how a child feels

OH' no what if the internet goes down?.....there will be chaos, the kids won't be heard....lol

Can they not write, or speak? Seems like they are regressing back to the Neanderthal age.

Wow. Just wow. 😳

Madness!!

Great idea; as long as you can update it every 20 minutes as the state of your day changes.

No emoji for cotton wool 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️👍🙄🙄🙄

Words would be better

Better make sure the eggplant emoji is not available.

Seriously?

This really needs to stop. The school system needs tearing down and rebuilding focusing on thing's that actually matter ie reading, writing and math. Ban iPads and Tablets. Kids are dumbed down.

Oh ffs. So English is off the curriculum now too? More room for climate con subjects, indoctrination and Pathways to PhD’s in Snowflake’ism.

🤮

Why ? Are these kids mutes🤷🏼‍♂️

Which one is the bored emoji?

Presumably they communicate in this way because their literacy skills are so poor

🥴🧐🤨 💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩

Or you know.... They could just talk.

Or they could communicate as they’re supposed to and use their words 🙄
