All of that makes sense, but you have to admit that you can't be sure what they did in this particular Louisiana school district. If school districts notify parents of policies and parents don't take the time to read them, that's on the parents.

I have no idea what this school district did or didn't do in terms of notifying parents of policies for online school at home. Agreed.
 
I think saying it is treated as the classroom is used as all encompassing. I dont think they have to spell out every thing that isn't allowed to be on camera. That seems a little unnecessary to me.
And then if something is missed or not thought of, parents would complain about that if their kid did something wrong, or saw something that shouldn't otherwise be there.
 
I think guns, even BB guns in school is a problem that should be taken serious. And virtual classrooms should in many ways be under the same rules as a regular classroom. That said I think any punishment should be held until after kids are back in classrooms. Right now, a suspension does not help this kid. Keep the kid learning, revisit it after he is back in the classroom. See if you can turn it into a teachable moment for all students.
That's the whole idea of any punishment, a teachable moment.
