This viral story tells how a mother took to TikTok to express her dissatisfaction and disbelief that a teacher made her child do detention…on Zoom!
Virtual Learning
According to Uju Anya, the parent who shared the incident, their child got sent to Zoom detention for not paying attention during their 4th-grade online class.
A Zoom Detention!
“My child got sent to Zoom detention for not paying attention in Zoom 4th grade.” Can you believe it? The consequences for a lack of focus in virtual classrooms are reaching new levels of incredibility.”
Not the First Warning
But there’s more to this story.
Uju explained that the teacher had given repeated warnings to their 9-year-old child and even emailed them about the issue beforehand.
The Behavior in Question?
The child’s consistent inability to stay focused during online classes and complete assignments.
She’s Distractible
Uju went on to say, “She frequently gets distracted, plays computer games, ignores the teacher, or just signs off Zoom.”
It Makes No Sense
Uju highlighted the ridiculousness of the situation by saying, “She couldn’t concentrate and stare at one adult on a screen, so she will be disciplined by staring at another. I know we’re all trying our best out here, but man.”
Challenges of Virtual Learning With Younger Kids
Uju chose remote learning as a safety measure during the pandemic and highlights the challenges of attending 4th grade on Zoom.
Ridiculous
She highlights the difficulties that teachers face when having to teach online, yet Uju’s disbelief and frustration were apparent as they exclaimed, “But Zoom detention is ridiculous.”
A Lot of Support Online
As the Twitter thread gained attention, Uju expressed their gratitude for the support received.
They Didn’t Support the Punishment
They clarified that “virtual detention” were the exact words used by the school, and emphasized that they would not be sending their child.
Another Twitter user joined in the replies saying, “I’m so sorry. That just does not make any sense at all.”
What’s Next? Zoom Jail?
This user took a hilarious approach, playfully commenting, “That being the case, I’m robbing the nearest bank tomorrow and bracing myself for a long stint in Zoom jail.”
