My last class online was so slow in answering some of my questions. She did not open her video cam and I can hear fingers dribbling on the keyboard. I know that she can answer this simple question. The common phrase that I am hearing is 'I don't know, teacher.'
I am tired of answering my own questions to her. I gave an example, a skunk.
Me: Come on, you can do it.
Student: I really don't know, teacher.
Me: Do you have a pet?
Student: Yes, I have a dog.
Me: Okay, if you did not take your dog a bath, what will happen to it?
Student: It will be a smelly dog.
That's the best thing that I can do for her to participate in the class. She is not a Ms. Know--It-All, but answered my question.

Your bosses will certainly approve of what you're doing to help your students cope with their lessons

@gamayngbaki I have been working with them for more than 7 years now. They never take the side of their virtual teachers. 
That's the reason why I am just ignoring the facts that there are students who are so rude.

Is it that you're a slow teacher or that the student isn't interested in listening/working with you?
Are you not allowed to mark them down when they are doing something other than classwork during class?

@DaddyEvil I can do it but not brutally honest.

@Shavkat So the comments can't be that the student appeared to be playing a video game instead of paying attention in class?
