NEW WAY TO ATTEND SCHOOL

Nowadays online classes are becoming more common because of the pandemic of COVID 19 or the Coronavirus, people have been told to stay at home and don’t go outside if you want to go outside, wear masks and do social distancing. If you want to work, the government orders the workers to work at home because if people work from their office there is a chance to get contracted by the virus. Same with school because in school we usually meet our friends and usually hang out together and because of that the government temporarily closes all facilities including school, mall, offices, and many more.

So let us talk about the pros and cons. Some students like online classes because they can learn their studies at home and they can use the internet to help them study but some didn’t like the online classes because they didn’t get any information from the studies that their teachers explained. But first, let’s talk about the pros. First, the online class is flexible because online classes can be done everywhere like the cafe or if you go on a vacation but that is not likely because of the pandemic. The second reason is online classes usually take fewer times because the government told the school to let student studies for 1 class max at 30 minutes because of the radiation that the devices that the students use. The last reason is it's pretty convenient because the students can use any devices to study like laptops, phones, tablets, and many more.

Lastly, let us talk about the cons of online classes. First, students who learn from home or attend online classes mostly don’t understand what the teacher is teaching because the material is hard to understand if the student and the teachers not face to face, like math, chemistry, physics, and many more. There is another thing that can make the students hard for them to understand the teaching it's because of the internet connection, not all people have good signals by their place so it can make them a bit laggy. The second one is task, the task in online classes is hard because usually the students have their task work with each other or help each other but now because of the pandemic they can’t go out to meet their friends and because of that working with each other is hard to do especially task that needs to work in a group, but there is a solution to this, the solutions are by zoom but if the students use zoom the works will not be maximal.

In conclusion, online learning is a whole new experience for students, because of that students need to manage their time when they need to study and need to learn that technology not only can be used to play games but they can be used to study and search for information too.
