Does Google Classroom work for anyone right now? (also do you use Parental control?)

I've tried the 3 big browsers and none of them will open that site. It's worked for me in the past, on Firefox only, and now won't even work on Chrome (which I d'l under duress since the other two would not work).

A second conundrum, but related, is on my kids' account with Parental Safety on, it has never worked, even with manually typing the exceptions into the box.

I think my son is in it right now.
I haven't looked into Parental Safety on his chromebok, but I did put a youtube block in chrome.

Working here...
And I've got 35 teachers using Google Classroom all day.. I'd have heard if it has the least little hiccup.

The last service outage Google had appeared to be regional... so perhaps it's not down for all users?

Paul, do you have any restrictions on your machines? I'm trying to figure this out, and it's both aggravating and confusing. I'm on 10.13 so I'm fairly up to date.

We use a brutally expensive hardware appliance filter for content filtering. Apple's Parental Controls are a f#@&!ng dumpster fire...
Wish I could be more help on home-level filtering and content controls!

I am finding that out. I had no idea that it could be THAT bad, but it apparently is. Only good for time limiting. I'm having to go back to Windows, I guess.
