Turn off Assignment notifications for teachers
blazodjurovic "We have made one team per class of students with teachers as owners of the team, as per our country's policy".
That is not a very good policy. We had rolled out teams in two different ways, for junior classes we used your approach and for senior classes we created a team per grade subject group. Our experience with the junior learners' teams was as you described it. It was horrible. Going forward I therefore do not recommend that approach. One team for each subject+grade with one teacher. Then use channels to create a timeline. If you need supervision, you can always add another teacher to your team as a 'peer reviewer'.

Speaking from the perspective of someone teaching vocational, I have to say I disagree.
Having classes and their respective subjects in one place is a much easier/better place to keep track of students' progress. Even more so if you're their councillor.
The fact that the option to manage posting notifications still has not been added is a serious lack of Microsoft's effort to continue to improve Microsoft Teams's functionality.
It seems that now that lots of schools are back to teaching per usual (meaning; less online), they have simply dropped the project. We were forced to choose Microsoft's services instead of Google's (which we had been using for years in great content) due to changes in privacy laws and the companies' adjustment to them.
Unless this option is added, I will make sure we switch back to Google at our earliest convenience.
