As due to the pandemic, we have seen the sudden transition in our lives in many aspects. For students online sessions, online exams, online classes are been taken. What are your views on this? Will this be beneficial or not? What improvements are required?

I like it in a sense like if you where sick you could catch up easily with lass stuff but for small children like mine I think they still need the person to person interaction it’s hard at home to keep the all quite when one is in school. But next year all three will be in school so if it goes all digital they all will have a computer provided through the school so I can have all 3 doing there school stuff at the same time and head phone.

@mistryjay your missing the point young children in social interaction that’s how they learn young children don’t learn for just sitting and listening they learn from interaction most children from there classmates and them helping them touching them pointing things out because they see the world the same they don’t see it like us adults do. Adults have the emotional sweetness that children don’t know. So I’m a few years they will get use to yes they will get use to it but they will be missing that important social human contact needs to thrive.

@ShyBear88 Yes very true that human social contact touch will be not felt and this can be not good for the children.

Yes, it has got its both advantages and disadvantages. For kids it will be difficult, but soon after few years the kids will get use to it.

I don't like the change from the real to the online. I desperately want to go back to my old normal life.

Yes the sudden transition is difficult but that is what the current situation demands, but hope for the best that the normal life resumes very soon.

@mistryjay yes ... something is definitely better than having no studies at all. I would agree to this

Online classes could be ok for higher grade students. It may not be appropriate for junior classes.

I have been studying online for 2 years. it's a good way for self takers. but this doesn't necessarily suit young students. online learning requires self-discipline.

Yes many such factors need to be considered. Network issues, availability of the devices and resources.

All parents can't afford or not educated enough to use a laptop, printer, internet . It's not practically possible to implement online classes.
