ClassDojo and related dystopian apps are really terrible for morale and have an antieducational result. If your kid's school wasn't enough of a prison camp indoctrinating them with propaganda wait until you see the results after the Dojo marketers get all the teachers mesmerized and on board with tracking every tiny thing and sending alerts constantly to parents about the most minor and always irrelevant issue. Obsession with microdata that has nothing to do with the actual academics or intellectual understanding of concepts allows teachers to ignore academics and turn everything into a operant conditioning experiment. Alert dings replace bells.
If your school district mandates Dojo, move districts or homeschool. If it's optional, meet with them and make sure they understand they are not under any circumstances to use it on your child and you deny consent. It is abusive software and its use should be banned by law if we want to have good schools and an educated populace in decent mental health. Constant nagging over minor issues destroys psychological well being. Imagine living with a partner who used such an app, or working for a boss. Anyone would agree that would be an abusive situation. Now why would you subject your children to such a thing.
