Struggle of Modular and Online Classes

Good day to all and happy weekend. How was your day, is it raining in your place too? I'm thankful that I already finished my laundry yesterday, so I'm relaxing now😎.  

I come up with this because it's been a while now and it is a stressful one. I have two kids to focus on, one is in Grade 3 and the other is in Grade 10. It wasn't easy for me because I am a working mother, my only time to help them with their modules is at night and weekends that is why we always double our time to meet the deadline. 

My eldest son sometimes teaches his younger brother on his module when I'm not around but it's not enough and the focus was less. Yuri (my youngest) sometimes does it on his own but on the things that he only understands and the rest is more explanation and writing and that's the part of us constantly arguing. I admit that I have less knowledge on teaching techniques, I have a family of teachers from my lolo to my tita and tito and also my cousins but me teaching is not my line.  

Since these modular and online studies started as I observe, children can't understand most of their subject, the focus is less as expected more destruction and the capability of some parents to teach. The other part of it is the internet connection, not all students have the capability to have wifi or cellular phones and the time frame that they need to finish. I can say it is really hard for both parents and children. 

As I focus on Yuri, and I sometimes check on Azrael(my eldest) because he can search on the net when he has difficulties on a subject. I didn't notice that Azrael is having a hard time complying with some of his subjects. I just found out to his adviser that he hasn't complied with some of the activities and some modules he submitted are not answered. I confront Azrael and scolded him about that and he need to double time because its the end of the first quarter. In my mind, I felt guilty doing that last year most of his grades are hanging he used to have high grades before the Modular started. I put so much pressure on him he must pass all his subjects with high grades and his father was angry too.  

I have heard an incident from one of our BOD that her daughter had a relapse due to the pressure of online studies he almost jump over their balcony and she was always silent and sometimes hit her head on the wall. I was thinking about Azrael, I remember that last few months he is always in his room he doesn't talk much I just realized it later that was a sign of stress, I am afraid because online the two of them left here at home and my husband only come home at lunch, before I go I always remind Yuri to watch over his Kuya on all the things he does and if something not right call the neighbor.  

Now as the first quarter ended we talked to Azrael, we need to be calm and let him understand our side. We know that he has difficulties and we don't want to argue on this until the end of the school year. He admits that he can't handle it all it is hard and he can't understand it all, he has a hard time complying. So we decided to top, I don't want to stress my son about it and God forbid I don't want him to be insane or lose control of himself. I told him that we can wait for the face to face he is graduating now but I don't want to graduate without knowing anything and I am happy that he understands.  

I hope that by next year they would have a proper education like before because some of the schools here near in our place are open to face to face mostly in the remote area. And I am also open to the vaccination of my children for prevention. May God always guide us and let us not be afraid to move forward with proper caution. Well, this is my point of view hope you all have a wonderful Sunday and tomorrow is another working day so let us enjoy our rest😉.
