What students are saying about remote learning – the finale to an Observer 3-part series
Their friends, teachers, sports, extracurricular activities, “the loud and crazy lunchroom” and sharing their snacks, are some things children say they miss most since they are not physically at school.
However, some of them at the primary and secondary levels have discovered that they are now getting to enjoy working at their own pace, on strict schedules, of course, and be free from “the stressful environment of school”.
Others, though, recounted the challenges of remote learning, from struggling to directly interact with teachers in a timely manner, getting easily distracted, a hectic schedule, to not having reliable internet access and not knowing when completed assignments will be graded.
