Pandemic and Education
The COVID-19 lockdown and closure of schools are negatively impacting students and disrupting their education. The solution?
Students are struggling.
Due to the COVID-19 lockdowns many students have been forced into doing school online. I’ve talked with a lot of people about their experiences, and many have had extremely negative experiences. The public school system was already broken to begin with. Trying to do it online is even worse.
Here is a testimony I received from a friend, doing online school through the public education system:
“It’s been bad. Teachers aren’t very passionate in public school generally, and most of them aren’t great with technology so this is just more motivation to be lazy. I haven’t learned anything in my classes so far, it’s just busywork and classes are cut very early. My first APES class which is supposed to be rigorous went on for 18 minutes (it’s supposed to be 90). The public school system was never made to give people a good education and this hasn’t helped. I love America but our public schools are terrible.”
Another friend of mine had to take an exam online. It was supposed to take her 4 hours, but it took her 7 due to technical difficulties. She was being recorded the whole time and wasn’t allowed to go off-camera. Here is what she said about it.
“It was horrible because I was helpless and trapped in my own room because I couldn’t leave. I think all these technical difficulties can have horrible repercussions on your learning, but also on your mental health. I’m 100% my score was not higher than it is because of how much stress I underwent and couldn’t perform as good as I could’ve.”
I am in a completely different boat. I am learning lots, from highly qualified teachers. All of my teachers are extremely hard workers, and their lessons are incredible. The assignments I’m given are helpful and improve my skills. The curriculum is rigorous and educational.
I don’t encounter the same technical difficulties normal students do. All of my lectures are pre-recorded. I don’t have to fiddle around with zoom, deal with bad internet connections and neither do my teachers. I save a lot of time.
It will take me a maximum of 4 hours to complete a day’s worth of schoolwork, this includes all lectures, homework and assignments. The time I save has allowed me to have a YouTube channel, pursue other interests of mine and start a business all while getting 9 hours of sleep.
