...I see."It is another funny moment when having a class online. In fact, it was being corrected during the class session.
Me: "Where is your grandma?"
Student: "She is killed."
Me: It is better to say, "She was killed. What happened?"
Student: "She is killed many years ago."
Me: "Are you sure?"
Student: "She is killed because of old."
Me: "Oh, I see. You were trying to say that she passed away due to aging a few years back. Is it?"
Student: "Yes, teacher."
What a scene for a virtual teacher to deal with a student who plays a video game while having a class. In fact, the student knows how to correct himself during the class. For a definite reason, he was focusing on doing something while having his class online at the same time.
"Do you think self-addiction to playing computer games can be stopped?"
"How can we control kids in playing them?"

Hmmm... is it possible for you to give him a "pop-quiz" every time you suspect he is playing computer games instead of paying attention to class? Or can you simply tell his parents that until they remove the games from the computer you won't be available to teach him?

@DaddyEvil Most of the virtual teachers and that includes me had requested to add this feature. However, the company doesn't care about this concern. Thus, we tend to leave comments in the chatbox. If they are showing bad behaviors, we tend to take snapshots. We need to do these things as proof to defend ourselves if there are some complaints against us.

@Shavkat Maybe you can suggest that the company you work for should invest in a program that will stop the classroom suite when it detects the person who is being taught open an additional page on their pc.
That would benefit you by keeping you from wasting your time and the parents by letting them know their child isn't working on his lessons as he should be doing.

Funny for you. But the child should be reprimanded by his parents.

@Shavkat I suppose that the parents should be checking on the child.

It is really an addiction where parents should play a major role to slowly cure it.

@ilocosboy Indeed. It is a matter of self-control and satisfaction.
