  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 do not think kicking the student out of the virtual class setting would have been the best solution. Since this was the same student acting inappropriately and having bad behavior, then I would have set some time aside outside of our class to talk to the student virtually. I would also be informing the parents to keep in mind what is and what is not appropriate and that when your mic is on the entire class can hear you. I think kicking him off the class, could lead to him acting out once he logs in again. Remember this is not a battle, more of a discussion that needs to be handled appropriately with communication. Let the student know the consequences of their behavior.
