I think you're wrong about that. I can think of about a thousand reasons a kid might be typing instead of paying attention to the class. This hypothetical evidence is too weak to damn the kid, and the only reason it would even be considered at all is because all of the other evidence is weak as well. The whole thing is a farce.
- mlyle 5y ago??? Here, the kid's lack-of-obviously-doing-anything-else is being used to provide (weak) evidence to exculpate the kid, not to damn him.
- wearywanderer 5y agoThe only thing it would show is that he was either at his computer when it happened, or wasn't at his computer. Either is so weak it's worthless.
- mlyle 5y agoI think you massively overestimate how well 11 year olds are at avoiding visual "tells" of what they're doing when on an educational videoconference. The kid not appearing to do anything else, not having light from opening new windows flashing on his face, etc, would make me far less likely to think it was him. Source: Have been teaching remote middle schoolers this entire year, and it's been pretty easy to spot a pretty big fraction of those kids that are opening other windows, playing Fortnite, etc.
