[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]

To be fair,  my daughter seems hyper focused when on the zoom meetings.  Something about this new learning style can be much more intense than traditional learning.    I could see how constant disruptions could be causing anxiety in kids.  Having a teacher try to play whackamole constantly with the mute button, would really throw off any human trying to do instruction.  Smart teachers should build in breaks and give chances for kids to get things out of their system in chat/ video.
