influence of online classes on their children.

Answer:
For students, this time of the year used to be all about the smell of freshly printed books, new classrooms, new bench mates and new teachers. But coronavirus has forced the world to reinvent and reimagine the usual. Online classes have become the new normal. With class schedules for the day arriving on Whatsapp, and students taking classes through the virtual world, the whole education system is now just a click away (quite literally).
The way the pandemic bared its fang in our cities, even teachers didn’t get enough time to prepare and were pushed to overhaul everything they knew about their jobs. On condition of anonymity, a Class 7 teacher said, “Much contrary to what most parents and children believe, schools are not closed and we are not on a holiday any longer. The teachers are working harder than ever before.”
While we often hear parents complaining about the added pressure of online schooling, in our chaotic mental dialogue, we often forget to listen to the teacher’s side of things. So let’s give them a chance to speak.
