Is the "New Normal" Really Efficient and Effective?

The COVID-19 pandemic had caused so many changes in our everyday life. With lockdowns happening in every town, so little-to-none can go out of their houses, which is affecting our jobs and financial support. Not just the adults have it hard, it is also affecting the children, students had a lot of changes to go through with this “new normal” in education.

Having this “new normal” is a challenge to the children. There have been a whole ton of load work with the school requirements, also without having a proper tutor to guide them through the topics. This changes unfortunately caused the death of some young students.

As time goes by, the students slowly got used to the “new normal” and things are going great. Some schools do online classes more than self-studying more, like modular learning. If I were to ask, having online classes would be a more efficient way of teaching for the students because it is the closest to having face-to-face classes. As to modular learning, you need to study the topics yourself, with little to no interaction with your class.

Years has been passing by and the world is slowly coming back to normal. Hopefully everyone in our country will be able to go back to normal too, for the children to actually gain knowledge and not just answering to pass.
