  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 feel like the teacher did the right thing when kicking the students out of meeting. I would also have an individual meetings with those students to ensure they understand what is expected during an online meeting. Explain to them that if they continue to act this way they will be kicked out of the meeting. The teacher could also make attendance a part of their grade.

The suggested solution is original Yes
Comments: This is not the best solution to the case, the students definitely should have gotten a talking to and the parents notified but the child should have been manually muted by the teacher and had their video manually turned off as well. Using attendance as a punishment is also not a good idea because while the student is being kicked out they were still in attendance.

Comments: As someone else mentioned, this student may be acting this way to get out of class. Continuing to kick them out will not solve the problem.
