    School is school, and now home is school...but you can masturbate at home and you can't masturbate at school.

    I wish they'd make up their minds!

    I've heard plenty that ask you not to, because it is a distraction, and the teachers are already at a disadvantage trying to teach online. Having 20 kids all of a sudden start showing off their pets isn't going to help.

    One piece of information that would be good to know, did the schools who aren't F-ing around, bother to inform parents before the start of virtual school of how the no-guns policy would apply in Zoom school situations?

    I think most schools have said how they're treating the virtual classroom as an extension of the real classroom and ask that the families treat it accordingly.

    Maybe so, but I'd be interested to know the specifics in a case like this. Were parents specifically informed about policies relating to guns and other matters and how they would be applied in on-line classroom situations? If so, then I have less objection to what they did. If not, then the problem is on the school district.

    Good question. I am sure they sent an email regarding policies. Whether the parents read it is anither question. It seems kind of common sense if you have a gun its going to get reported. Teachers are mandatory reporters. That is inside and outside of school. We see a kid being hit or verbally abused at the supermarket, we have to report it. We see a kid with a gun on the screen during online school, we have to report it.

    All of that makes sense, but you have to admit that you can't be sure what they did in this particular Louisiana school district. If school districts notify parents of policies and parents don't take the time to read them, that's on the parents.

    I have no idea what this school district did or didn't do in terms of notifying parents of policies for online school at home. Agreed.

    I think saying it is treated as the classroom is used as all encompassing. I dont think they have to spell out every thing that isn't allowed to be on camera. That seems a little unnecessary to me.
    And then if something is missed or not thought of, parents would complain about that if their kid did something wrong, or saw something that shouldn't otherwise be there.

    I'm not convinced that you're not doing it during the Blazer broadcasts...

    That's the whole idea of any punishment, a teachable moment.
