[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Agree OP. [b]My kid is super anxious[/b] and was really excited about these zoom classes. It ended up being a total complete mess because two kids (boy and girl) were constantly unmuting and saying things over and over again.  They are older kids. They know better. The teacher ended up kicking one of the kids off because he couldn’t stop unmuting and texting with repeated warnings. Not sure if they have problems in school or what, but[b] it ended up ruining the entire hour and my daughter was teary-eyed and even more anxious afterwards. [/b]So that was a whole other discussion to have. It won’t go as planned. Be flexible etc.  I wondered if those kids have involved parents. How could they let them behave like that over and over again. Allowing them to be this way, but after reading this thread it seems like it doesn’t matter. Parents don’t need to help and it seems the teachers need to either accept them interrupting or kick them out of the class. And just because people are dying doesn’t kids the right to behave that way and ruin the other 25 experiences.  Fingers crossed it is better on Monday or we will just stop zoom classes and do the printed work without them. [/quote]

This is the problem right here. If your kid is anxious and teary-eyed because the class clown kept interrupting then you have a problem that is beyond the class clown.

Tell your anxious kid to be patent while kids get the hang of this.[/quote]

Says the parent of the bullies.  :roll:  Victim blaming.

My kids were the same way. Exhausted and frustrated with the few who ruin a good thing. It is one thing when it happens at school. The kids have 6-7 hours with teachers and peers. Right now it is 50min tops for my kids and they really look forward to it. One kid or a few ruining such a small timefor the rest of the class IS the problem. It is their parents problem. It is NOT the problem of the other kids, the teacher, Zoom, Covid, or anything else.  Enough with the excuses. I wish my kid’s teachers had the balls to just remove the problem kids. You can’t just mute them. They just unmute and continue. [/quote]
