Lessons about education
Debbie Jacob -
COVID19 tried to teach us many lessons about education. Parents should have learned to appreciate teachers more; schools should have learned to trust them more. Schools that mastered the lesson of trust would have encouraged teachers to design more learning activities offline. Before this pandemic we all complained about children being on electronic devices too much, and then schools defeated this lesson by engaging students in online learning for most of the school day.
Parents should have realised that ultimately it is their responsibility to educate their children. School is a place where children go to learn, but much of their education lies in the hands of parents who must teach the big lessons in life: diligence, empathy and resilience – all qualities that are hopefully reinforced in schools.
