Students online are required to keep their mic OFF (unless asking a question or responding to a question) and cameras OFF at all times. One Virtual student decided to keep their Mic ON while going to the bathroom. Disrupting the class with the noises of them using the bathroom. They also decided to say "Sorry, you have to hear me pee, I couldn't hold it anymore". The following week the student used offensive language to answer a question. Both times the teacher kicked the student out of the virtual classroom. Was this the right solution? How does a teacher handle these new behavior issues that come with virtual learning? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I am only an intern, so I'm not entirely comfortable with saying whether or not the teacher made the right decision. However, based on the examples you've given, it seems that the student might be purposely doing these things in order to get kicked out of the virtual classroom. By doing just that, the teacher encourages this behavior to continue so the student can continue to get the desired reaction. I would take the student into a breakout room and speak with them one-on-one about the inappropriate behavior and explain to the student why respect for classmates and the teacher is so important. If this does not achieve the desired result, a parent-teacher conference with the student present might give more insight as to why the student is acting this way.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: I agree that the student is probably aiming to get kicked out of class. They do not seem to be taking online learning seriously. It is likely that a parent-teacher conference is needed, and the administration may need to get involved as well.

I would first talk to the student's parents about their behavior before doing anything else.

If they have not, then maybe it is a learning curve. If they have taken classes previously then chances are you are correct and they are just trying to get kicked out of class.

The student may be doing this because they know that they will get to leave class. It would be a good idea to talk to this this student to understand why they are acting this way.
