SANFORD, N.C. (WNCN) — Only three days into the start of the school year and already several North Carolina school districts are reporting people joining virtual classes and causing disruptions.
Wake County Schools confirmed it happened in at least 20 classes at Millbrook Magnet High School Tuesday.
On the first day of school at Lee County High School, the parent of a 10th grader said her daughter logged on for a Spanish class.
The district confirms a non- student account gained access, showing violent and pornographic content to students. It was immediately reported to administrators and the school resource officer.

My church had an online bible study class on Zoom that was interrupted with porn, ONCE. After that, links were sent out to congregants and it did not happen again. The only problem is that occasionally, others truly interested in the lesson, but unaffiliated, cannot participate.
ReplyDeleteFor the school, this is an easy fix.
With the advent of Virtual classes comes the predictable virtual school "shootings".
ReplyDeleteAnd in CA online classes are interrupted because of rolling brown outs. Way to go, CA!
ReplyDeleteThe best thing is parents are grouping together to pay private tutors. Of course the teacher unions are demanding the parents cannot do that.
The teachers' unions can go screw themselves.
DeleteAll the kids need is a copy of the State syllabus for the course that they are taking, and a commercially available study guide. If the kids take the time to read the study guide and answer the posed questions, they will learn the subject. For difficult concepts, there are any number of public forums manned (and womened) by knowledgeable individuals that will help the students through the problem.
Sometimes you really luck out and get a retired person such as a chief chemist from a major chemical company who devotes his/her time to not only help students with the schoolboy stuff, but adds knowledge of his/her subject in the real world.
