Begin Again

It’s been a couple of weeks now that the highway near our place is going back to its normal traffic congestion.

Commuters are like ants again crowding alongside the highway to hitch a ride just like old times.

How about in your area, is everything slowly going back to normal?

On the other hand some schools in our area are now having face-to-face classes. However the Department of Education is not yet implementing a total face-to-face classes to all its divisions.

It’s been two years since my kids have had their classes online. It means that the COVID19 pandemic is still out there infecting people. Health professionals and doctors are not stopping from curing people and scientists as well are still finding a cure. However it seems that until now there is no cure for this virus but they have made vaccines as prevention. With these vaccines being strictly implemented, people are protected and the COVID cases have lessened at least. Besides, there are now vaccines available for four years old kids and above.

Face-to-face

The next school year, the Department of Education will be implementing schools to go back to regular classes face-to-face. The reason is that due to the drop down of cases being infected. Opinions of parents and students are divided. Some disagree but most students are in favor of this.

If I am going to ask, I think it’s about time to get things back to normal, just when there is no pandemic. We know how easy it is when our kids are going to school every day. They can easily understand the lessons because it was being taught in a live session. Honestly, some lessons are hard to understand when conducted online or virtually because there are factors that can affect the learning process. I have witnessed my kids how they cope up with their virtual classes in the last two years working at home. One major problem is the lack of internet connection or getting disconnected.

One more thing is that socialization has been missing. This is also important in the teaching-learning process because students need to interact with fellow students whom they can exchange opinions and share ideas with. They can also touch or even hug their beloved teacher whom they care about. After all, it is a little bit hard to talk to someone in front of a screen for a long time.

Get used to it

It appears that this virus will not leave us. So from now on we have to learn to live our life with this deadly virus just like with other diseases that emerged in the past.

Eventually, we will get used to it because it will be just like normal flu in the future.

Even if we have survived we cannot deny that this event is terrifying. The fact that millions have died globally including our relatives and the most heartbreaking is a member of our family is lost.

Next month Metro Manila will be under alert level one. This means that everything will be going back to normal. It will also mean that we have to go out at our own risk.

I just hope we can do the same thing as we did before without the virus and that this will not hinder us from evolving.

Let’s start a new life and move forward.

Thanks for reading. Ciao!
