Online
education is a highly discussed topic in recent times due to the
situation we find ourselves in. Both students and teachers are
encountering various difficulties that cause delays in the
development of the course, which raises questions about the next
school year.
In
part, some of the points in favor of this education also have their
side against. As it is an education through the internet, it is
easier for students to access content at any time, however, there
are people who do not have easy access to these resources, which
causes them to be left behind and even a feeling of exclusion
regarding their peers.
Other
points against would be the fact that classes through video calling
can favor dispersal, because it is not easy for them ( for teachers)
not to know that you are not paying attention, or to people who want
to interrupt the lessons, because anyone can interrupt the class
anonymously by getting the link. Teachers also find their work
difficult as they do not have contact with students, having to find
different methods of solving doubts. On the other hand there are
also positive aspects. Each person can search for the hours in which
they are most productive and have more access to content for solving
doubts during exercises or work.
However,
my opinion on the matter is fixed, I do not like distance education,
I have trouble concentrating and more if I am not in an environment
that favors it. My house is a place where I feel uncomfortable to
study and work, all my family walks wherever they want and they are
not silent, so they interrupt the video calls or the work rhythm.

The
Pros and Cons of Online Learning
Due
to this pandemic caused by the coronavirus, the way of teaching has
had to be changed. So these last three months we have been teaching
online. And like everything, this has its advantages and
disadvantages.
There
are many disadvantages that there are, especially for the students of
Bachillerato. The first disadvantage that I see is that the teachers
can’t explain the new
units
to us and when we are doing the exercises we don't know how to do
them. Another disadvantage is that for the few classes we have, Wi-fi
sometimes fails or you have problems sending the homework. It is also
true that teachers send a lot of homework to do.
It
isn’t all disadvantages, there are some advantages such as that you
don’t have to get up early as you used to do to go to
school
or you don't have as much stress to do homework, study and in my case
go to practice basketball.
In
conclusion, for me it hasn’t been anything beneficial at school
level, because it isn’t a vacation but you have more responsibility
to do things by yourself and learn.

Teenagers should have Summer Homework
Probably
many politicians, parents and teachers believe that, given the
situation in which we find ourselves, young people should have
homework or work to do in the summer as a result of 3 months without
going to class.
On
the one hand, the young people have not been able to go to class
,however, they have been doing work, exams, exercises ...
In
addition, I consider that setting homework this summer would affect
many students who are looking for the best grades and who are
concerned about their future. For example, the fourth-grade students
of the school that continue studying in high school or those who are
in the university.
Furthermore,
students haven't been sleeping, playing video games during these
three months ... as many people believe. Besides, many had virtual
classes.
But
people do not understand this and consider they should have more
homework, without thinking about how this catastrophic situation has
been for them. For example, the possibility of opening the
educational centers in July or continuing with online classes, or
even that the course ended later, has also been being considered.
I
think that neither children nor adolescents should have work, class
... in the summer. In my opinion I have already worked enough
throughout the course and these three months I have not been
sleeping. Not to mention the behavior of many teachers in this
situation. I think that all the work we have done should be valued
more since we have "learned to learn", individually without
the help of anyone.
Finally add that we deserve a quiet summer, since
adolescents are also people and we have been the most affected in
this situation, both for being the last to go outside and for being
without seeing our friends and partners.
Because
we are the future and the only ones capable of changing it.
