Not that those dumbass parents are right, but most of that can be solved through proper meeting settings.
Eg not giving participants the option to mute/unmute themselves, you can set up Zoom and as far as i know nearly every virtual meeting software, so only the host can control that. Then if you require participation have students use the raise hand feature or simply ask in chat. Then the teach can approve the transmission.
I took the last semester online and it was hilarious the lengths teachers went to making their own lives harder because they didnt know how or what settings were available to them using Zoom or Canvas.
I agree. I am an IT staffer who assists specifically the sped department. I more than most knows the idiocy of my staff, however, I am not in charge enough to do the bbultra class meetings. Otherwise it would be very locked down. Some staff are okay, most are not. Either way, the parents are ignorant folks who do not recognize the situation for what it is.
