COVID-19 Pandemic really brought tremendous change in all aspects of our lives. It really started with how a person must take responsibility of himself in a way that he cannot do things the way they should be. Travels have been banned for months. Social gatherings are with limits. Curfews are being mandated. Most of all, wearing of face masks, face shields, sanitizing and washing of hands had been a habit. Henceforth, those who are susceptible to the virus must stay at home.
One important aspect of life that had been into a compromise is the education. Learners are confined into their homes where their parents and guardians have the responsibility for the learning of their kids. As for the record, it will be a change to all. Parents especially who are working will definitely have a hard time facilitating their children at home. The only thing to do is to ask favor from the nearby relatives or older siblings to assist their children in their learning process.
Merely, a problem for many. But then, education should not be compromised. Parents though in a more complicated setting do all the best they can in order to assist their children in the learning process.
Moreover, they themselves learn and read more to supply the needed knowledge and in order to comply for the school’s requirements of their children.
Distance learning scenario here in the Philippines can be not so common. What is like is that families are taking on much more responsibility for their kid’s learning than even before, and in order for distance learning to be successful, parents/guardians need support.
First and foremost, trying to put the situation where our parents/guardians even students/learners are here right now will understand them in understanding Distance Learning.
Parents and educators should try to lead with love and remember that strong relationship with learners make for positive educational practices and experiences. Staying them focused and make it possible to keep the learning in sight. If not completely supervised, then they can hardly learn.
There are many ways to let them be engaged in learning inside the classhome.
We can communicate with the teachers and the school about how things are going, leading with positive first. Teachers can really and it’s a more of proper channeling. Who wouldn’t want their children to learn? No one. So, let us embrace the classhome for now.
