Answers
Answer:
Teacher: How are your classes going?
Student: Fine, ma'am. Some days it gets very challenging.
Teacher: Why is that?
Student: Because of connectivity issues.
Teacher: That can indeed be annoying.
Student: Yes ma'am. Even if I get disconnected for a minute, I lose track of the class, miss out on instructions and later land in trouble.
Teacher: It's the same for teachers too. If we get disconnected, it is difficult to get the class back on track.
Student: Yes, ma'am, I agree.
Teacher: Half the children don't listen, some pretend to listen, yet others are busy watching online videos.
Student: But ma'am, there are some children who are indeed serious about their studies.
Teacher: Yes. It is a pleasure teaching them, but the rest of the class cannot be ignored. There is too much distraction.
Student: True, ma'am. With so many faces on the screen, and so much movement, I too sometimes find it hard to focus on the teacher.
Teacher: I understand. It is a challenging situation for everyone.
Student: Yes, ma'am, more so during exams. There's always an unpleasant feeling that some students might be cheating, and that is very discouraging.
Teacher: We are trying our best to keep a level playground for everyone, but there are many things that are not in our control.
Student: Ma'am, I am desperately waiting to go to school. I miss attending regular classes.
Teacher: I miss going to school too. Teaching is a lot nicer and easier there, than in a virtual classroom
