Online classes: Students offhand, teachers at a loss

Deccan Chronicle  

HYDERABAD: Online classes for the academic year 2021-22 are proving to be a huge challenge for teachers as students turn to be diverted, convinced that they will be promoted and under the impression that the situation is far from improving. Online classes for Class 1 to 12 have begun from July in SSC and CBSE schools and in the first month itself, the teachers have encountered several problems. Take for example the case of CBSE schools where they had instructions to call on the parents whose children are not responding positively to online classes. These confusing thoughts got many educationists alarmed and the heads of different schools find that there is a need for students to take internal exams seriously. Educationists are urging the students to be more proactive and alert about online classes and take each internal exam as seriously as offline exams.
