#Parents dish on hilarious moments from remote learning via Zoom

Parents are getting a hard, and at times comical, lesson in virtual reality as their kids crack open their computers and head back to school — via Zoom.

Anecdotes ranging from endearing to embarrassing are blowing up Twitter from moms and dads just trying to navigate the new normal of the new school year.

“Zoom preschool is both hilarious and depressing. My 4 year old keeps unmuting himself and yelling ‘I DON’T KNOW YOUR NAME! IS THIS MEETING OVER YET?’” tweeted Washington Post reporter Alexis Diao, whose post received more than 690 replies of the like.

The handle @realsnacktime shared another sophomoric snafu.

“My seven year old’s teacher lost her connection and a random kid was promoted to host,” the tweet said. “Teacher logged back on, but he didn’t give host back; he muted her and made farting noises for five minutes.”

Many school districts, including New York City, have implemented a hybrid learning model — a mix of remote learning and in-person instruction — while others have opted to go all-remote as the country awaits a coronavirus vaccine.

Some parents are reporting that their cunning kids are already using technical problems — real or not — to their advantage.

“My second grader will unmute herself and say her computer is ‘glitching’ so she has to restart it and will leave the meeting for a few minutes to get a snack,” tweeted Vanessa Salazar. “I still haven’t figured out if I’m proud of her or not.”

Keith Edwards added, “Zoom 2nd grade is fun. When my son gets bored he just closes the laptop and walks away. ‘Technical issues!’ He yells.”

Meanwhile, some parents have found themselves on the wrong end of the Zoom conference.

“Kindergarten zoom gym class punctuated by a parent saying ‘I’m just OVER IT’ loudly over and over again and then ‘Oh, are you unmuted?’” one person with the handle @dansinker tweeted.

One teacher shared the best moment so far from her virtual classroom.

“I think my favorite was when a 4-year-old demonstrated, with great gusto, the ‘dance daddy does when he gets out of the shower,’” she wrote. “Hard to put that out of your mind at parent-teacher conference!”
