Due to the onset of pandemic , education system change it's course. Somehow it gives way to improve the use of our internet into a more important and useful one unlike before that it was mainly utilized for communication and entertainment purposes.

Here in our place, if you can't attend face to face classes due to valid reasons you can still attend school via online class, there has no reasons for students not to attend school as long as you have an internet connection. Until now that face to face classes is back , online class is still ongoing. It is conducive for College students who live far away from their universities. It lessen the expenses of transportation ,clothings and meals which is much higher compared prior to pandemic coz of inflation.

Though it is a continuos struggle in learning online coz it is quite different if it's taught in actual , still it has good sides too. My niece is on her first year of Civil Engineering course and she only goes to her University once a week for certain reports. It will continue that way until her second year.

Her parents are saving a lot from other expenses that she might incurr in going to the University everyday.It was a big help in their part now that inflation is getting it's toll on us bigtime.

All in all i think it was a success though we struggled in the beginning but now we accepted and get the hang of it gradually. Schools also improved a lot in many ways in their online teachings. Both the students and teachers has adapted the system , making it more useful and convenient for both parties.

Group Chats

Another thing was the introduction of group chats among students, parents and teachers. It is more easy now for parents to address their concerns to their children's adviser. May it be regarding their children's progress , assignments, activities or any announcements in regards to school.

Parents and Teachers has their own group chats . My 6 year old son is in first grade and of course we parent's and his Teacher adviser has our own group chat or gc too.

I personally did'nt comment much in our gc coz everything i need to know we're usually asked by some parent's most of the time. I just read the conversation and that's it. I don't message his adviser too unless it's important concern.

But there is one parent in our gc that i find too comfortable in sending her messages too often even if it's weekend, hehe! She's sending photos of her child reading, writing, dancing , practicing children's activities everyday. Don't get me wrong i don't hate her , lol! i don't even know her personally.

She's updating the adviser everyday on her child's daily activities in our gc, which was always the caused of losing the important announcement of the teacher coz it was flooded by her messages most of the time. So other parent's are messaging me if i know that parent personally, hahaha! And i would tell no coz i really don't know her.

Other parent's in our gc are calling her "pabida" hahaha! I just tell them not to mind her coz most of the time , the adviser did'nt reply on her messages naman.

Just this week , the children had a short poem to recite and their Teacher was sending video clips of every student in our gc. When it's her child turn to recite , she just read the poem written in a piece of paper and she insisted to the Teacher that her child memorized the poem so why did she read it?

Then just recently her child was not able to go to school coz the child is sick. But then the next day her child attended school already then in the afternoon the poor child was sick again so the mother sent a message that she will not come to school again until the next day. Then in the afternoon , the girl attended school again. Telling the Teacher coz her child wants to go to school already coz she wants to study instead of staying at home, etc etc.. Is it really the child that's going to decide?

I was worried that other children including mine got sick also coz of her child. As expected 3 students got sick too and she's telling them that it's "uso daw kasi"( it's inevitable coz of the weather). Fortunately my son is not one of those.

Her child is really smart as i told my other co-parent so it is not a surprised if she will be on top of the class, it's just the mother ,that is too pushing . I honestly don't mind if my child got a spot coz i know that development of every child is different from each other besides the beginning does not an assurance of a great end , i mean it's a long way to go for them coz they are only in first grade.

In conclusion , it was a great opportunity for all the learners to still able to study despite the previous pandemic. Introduction of online classes was a great help indeed and it's now part of our education system. It's only apt to adapt to the new system.

Moreover , we also need to learn the dos and don'ts in using technology , the way there are also ways in how to deal with people in the actual world. We should still practice some precautions in venting out our emotions and opinions for that matter.

We should limit our messages in group chats that is intended for certain purposes. Unless it was a personal group chats then it's ok to say everything , but and but, it does not mean you have the right for a screenshots for the whole world to know just in case you got screwed up with someone.

Do you know someone like her in your school gc's? lol! Anyway , that's all for today , got to prepare our dinner now. Have a wonderful day ahead to all! Peace!
