Learning Space Problem
Teaching a child who has never been to school is difficult, especially when your living space is not suitable to learning. My children have been in the Modular Class for over two years. For over two years, I've been teaching them and I've witnessed how difficult it was for both of us. I realized that the issue was not with the type of children's learning class, but with the learning environment or learning space. We only rent small apartment, which is why there are so many restrictions.
The learning space should be airy, quiet and comfortable for the students but here is the opposite one. That's why it is one of the things that interferes with children's learning. No matter what I do, it's still not enough. Three students of different levels and only a small space for learning. I tried to have the three of them together in the modular class even though their lessons were different from each other. Unfortunately, this is not effective. They cannot concentrate on studying when they are in the same room. But since they can only use a small space, so there are no other choices but to push it. I also tried to teach to only one student per day. I sincerely hope they obtain something from their studies. However, the two who are not studying are bothering the one who is studying. How about this, while the one is studying, the other two will sleep? Oh no! I tried that also and my kids are not happy with it. As a result, my three children won't be able to study seriously.
The only good thing is that my son in Grade 2 has an online class. I can keep an eye on the other two children since I can leave my Grade 2 son alone in front of the screen on cam. Just yesterday, my son was having a Mathematics Assessment and he did a great job! He can go into detail about how he solved the problem. I don't think I could teach him the way his teacher did without online classes. Its very unfortunate to have a homeschooling in a very uncomfortable space.
In our situation, the only way to study effectively is to take both online and face-to-face classes. Modular Classes means, I'll be the only one teaching the kids, they won't learn enough knowledge about the modules because of uncomfortable environment. These are not excuses; they are realities.
Oh! Of course! Small spaces for grown up students or one kid alone is possible.
However, no matter how small or uncomfortable a space is, we can still study if we are determined. If we face any difficulties today, we will be able to overcome them all sooner.
For elementary grade students, they really need a place to study that has a cheerful atmosphere and has a background image that has the image of a child because it encourages those who are growing up to always feel at home in the study room, indeed there are many events currently that have to study in an emergency due to the pandemic.
