I’m shocked that it wasn’t a constant stream of racist, misogynist and homophobic epithets.

I’ve had a number of students not realize their camera was on and just blatantly texting, or bopping around to muted music, or I can see their Netflix reflected in their glasses, etc. If it’s disrupting the other kids I kick them out of the class and email their parents and admin and mark them absent. If it’s not disrupting anyone I email the kid, I’ve found if I call them out in real time they just turn off their camera and/or log out.

Zoom education is a real Battlefield. The only thing saving students are dedicated teachers like this who answer the Call of Duty. As for the student, he’ll be lucky to get a 30 in this class … bro.

Well, better to learn this lesson now playing video games than doing something else later at, say, the New York Times.

RHD, I bet you teach in a private school. My daughter teaches French in a public high school, and was told in no uncertain terms that she will NOT mark down a remote “learner” as absent. A few of her students will log into a class session, then immediately disappear, giving no response when asked to. Public school districts are partly funded on a formula of student attendance X hours, ya know.

With most video conferencing software the person conducting the meeting is the supreme dictator and should be able to mute attendees at will, should they so desire.
