On the part 1 of this article I discussed about the inability of the less privilege students to buy electronic materials such as android phones, laptops and the internet connection.

PROBLEMS DURING ONLINE CLASS
The problems that the students and professors encounter during the online class.
STABILITY OF INTERNET CONNECTION
This is one of the main problem that make the students or the professors to encounter lag as it interrupt the discussion. The listeners cannot understand what the speaker or the teacher is saying because of the poor internet connection that makes it choppy.
BACKGROUND NOISE
So for the students here or those who work from home, the background noise is sometimes irritating or make the atmosphere joyful. One of the noise that make me laugh is the dog barks never ending, the mom or the relative of the students talking or arguing with someone but what's irritating is the surprising noise such as the echo, car or motorcycle engines and such.
ONLINE PLATFORMS FOR MEETINGS
Some students and mostly the professors encounter some problems or difficulty in using the online platforms for their meeting. Google meet is what we often use because it has a lower data usage. But sometimes the professors can't run a code or they face some technicalities that made us to change the platform. From google meet to zoom. The cons of using Zoom meetings is that it has a high data usage and the 40 minute time limit.
CONSUMED DATA
So most students use prepaid load, during the discussion some students consumed their data that's why they have to go to the store and buy load again. The problem is they missed some discussions.
So far, this is what I have observed on the first week of our online class. And we are only one to millions of students who encounter the same.
If you have insights or opinion regarding this topic, feel free to share it down below. Thank you so much!!

I am thinking of raising a fund to help the students who are using prepaid load. If you want to help, feel free to comment or give an upvote with a comment that it's for fund. But that's not compulsory because I know that the very reason why we're here is because we need to earn for our personal needs.
Thank you very much!!!

THANK YOUUU!
It's very unfortunate for most of the students, especially here in the Philippines. It's getting worst though. Learning isn't supposed to be like this. Schools are acting like factories to supply factory workers with discouraged and crushed dreams. Kind of sad actually, especially in our situation, right now. :<
