"if my kid was having some kind of problem where they were cutting class by taking excessive bathroom breaks?"

This app presumably just leaves the ball in the parents court? If there were a problem I'd expect the teacher to be proactively dealing with it, and/or discussing it with me.

"Context and content matters a lot"

Agreed, half the problem is that this loses context.

Where's the context there? Is that a problem? Normal?

I don't have a problem with gold stars and stuff, this is just depersonalising and not helpful.

The fact that this screenshot was posted by a stranger on Twitter is what removed the context. That's why the harsh reaction doesn't make any sense. We have no idea what has been going on in that classroom or with that particular kid. Hell, we don't even know if it's real.
