I stopped reading the article after it just became a list of apps. Felt like a thinly veiled ad, and if not, annoying af.

Sorry, I don't know what that means, I don't have Tiktok. I'm talking about the whole article being vapid, just multiple paragraphs that are lists of apps:

It could be Class Dojo, Brightwheel, Bloomz, or TalkingPoints. It could be ClassLink, SchoolStatus, or PowerSchool.

Is it like brand name dropping to keep people's attention or something?
