ONLINE CLASSES : AGONY , MONOTONY AND STRESS FOR STUDENTS

With the closure of schools and various educational institutions across the country , the direct teaching learning process that used to be done in classrooms has come to a halt. Numerous students are stranded inside their homes and they don't have a proper way to continue their learning process. In the past few months , educational institutions have come up with a new way to continue the teaching learning process which is popularly known as the " ONLINE CLASSES" . In this method devised by them , the students as well as teacher would collaborate on various video calling apps where the teacher would send all the study material and we have to learn from them. This new way of teaching has become so popular in our country  that it has became like a slogan for every single student residing in this nation. Though , these online classes are a creative way of learning , but in my notion , are not beneficial for the students owing to their health , concentration and economical condition.

   

                                   The online classes are a good alternative for the direct teaching learning process and are much safer amid the outbreak of the pandemic but still are not the right way in which this process should be proceeding. Firstly , they are done from home due to which the student is not getting the right environment and circumstances to carry on with their studies as various other activities are being carried out alongside during the study time. In schools and colleges , the environment used to be totally different and had the right conditions to adapt to a learning process. At home , it becomes really difficult to cope up with 6 long hours of continuous learning and studying which indeed grips the students with extreme stress and anxiety. Moreover, the students go through extreme mental pressure as there are no or very less breaks provided to them  by the schools . It makes them feel very boring and monotonous due to which they end up in talking rudely to their elders , parents and family members at home. These shortcomings are never addressed by the institutions which makes the students to loose the concentration and thus , they miss out the bullet points during the study or class of a particular subject. This online learning process has least benefits as we aren't able to imbibe what is being taught in class owing to which , the students may end up in bringing poor marks in terminal as well as final examinations. The extreme pain and agony which the students undergo are denied by their parents as if nothing has happened and often refuse to talk to their children . This may cause a huge impact on the minds of those young kids and may become a prime cause of mishap. During , this pandemic , living inside homes , especially foe children has become an extremely tough task and they can't resist anymore. Due to lack of physical and mental exercise and games , their mind becomes brittle like a heap of sand which makes their daily routine even more hectic and stressful

                    

    Amid this lock down, online classes to lower or lower middle class parents and students has become like a heavy load on their economical conditions . This process requires many kinds of vague expenses which those poor people can't afford but still hold a hope to see their children studying in huge universities. This whole learning process requires numerous expensive equipments accounting for laptops , computers , mobile phones and a good internet service which is undoubtedly , is unaffordable for them and is just like a dagger being plunged into their back. Those people are overseen by the institutions and thus , they have to spend a lot of money which is far beyond their family budget. Those people keep sones on their heart and work tirelessly for their children but our education system is just lying on their couches , lazily , gazing everyone who passes by. There are many students who are dwelling in the remote areas of the country where internet services are not good due to which they fail to study properly during the study hours. They miss their classes and are thrown , way behind the ongoing stream of the syllabi. Internet is one of the biggest barrier for the students amid these Online classes where most of the children fail to cope up with their studies owing to a poor internet service and buffering videos and audios after they are sent by their respective subject teachers. It looks very simple and easy for those who are rich but the real pain is bear by those who are poor and can't afford these things.

                         

          The online classes are proceeding without a proper planning and thus are not systemically done. Teachers , without much thinking assign too much work to the students in a single period which is indeed way beyond their reach in a single reach . We respect and salute the efforts of our great teachers but their impulsive actions becomes a reason for our agony . Every institution in the nation should devise a system or a limit for every subject so as the teachers can send a limited amount of materials in a given period of time. Moreover , sitting for long hours in front of Laptops and mobile phones carries a huge danger for the health of each child and must be taken care of by the schools . It may dearly cost them their eyes and other delicate body parts which may be affected due to this wrong method learning . It is really a huge hazard to the life of the young sensations and shouldn't be denied by the parents . If possible , the schools and the organizers must devise short breaks for every student which will help him to recover from the fatigue caused to the body.

THIS ARTICLE OF MINE IS AN APPEALING ONE AND PLEADS TO EVERY EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION AROUND THE WORLD TO IMPROVE THE TECHNIQUES IN WHICH THEY ARE CARRYING OUT THEIR ONLINE CLASSES . THE MENTAL HEALTH OF EACH STUDENT MATTERS AND SHOULDN'T BE OVERLOOKED AT ALL. THIS IS A SIMPLE AND STRAIGHT MESSAGE TO ALL TEACHERS AND PRINCIPALS OF EVERY SCHOOL IN THE NATION AS WELL AS PARENTS AND I HOPE ... THAT THEY WILL CONSIDER THIS HUGE APPEAL FOR THE SAKE OF STUDENTS.
