  Case: Virtual Learning & Inappropriate Behavior
The teacher is required to teach both in-person students and virtual students at the same time. 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'm conflicted. I understand the need for the teacher to remove the student from the classroom, but I don't think this should have been the only action taken by the teacher. What if while the teacher was teaching the in-person students and didn't have a proper view of the virtual students a virtual student turns their video on and shows something inappropriate. That would be a very hard situation to handle and explain to the administration. However, it does seem as though this student is trying to just be funny, but I think it's too much for a teacher in this situation to handle on his/her own.

Virtual Teaching while simultaneously in-person teaching students is asking A LOT from any teacher. It really puts the teachers in a bad position to properly manage the students while effectively teaching all students. Hopefully, the teacher has already had a one-on-one conversation with this student about appropriate behavior when learning virtually. If the teacher has done this and things are still happening it's time to get the parents involved in helping mitigate the issues the student is causing. If that fails the administration needs to get involved and maybe virtual this type of virtual teaching isn't suitable for a student that displays so many behavioral issues.
