APCASH SYNCHRONOUS
Respectfully, sana naman iconsider din yung current situation ng mga students bago mag-require ng synchronous classes. Hindi naman lahat ng students ay currently in a situation where they can comfortably and properly attend online classes.
May mga students na hanggang ngayon ay nagrerecover pa rin from the storm. May iba na binabaha pa, may mga naglilinis at nag-aayos ng bahay dahil sa naging epekto ng bagyo, at may mga students din na wala pang stable electricity or internet connection. For some, attending a synchronous class is not as simple as just opening a laptop or phone and joining a meeting.
Hindi naman sa ayaw naming pumasok, at hindi rin naman ibig sabihin na ayaw naming mag-comply sa requirements. We understand that classes are important and that learning should continue. Pero sana ma-consider din na may mga circumstances na beyond the students’ control. Hindi naman lahat pare-pareho ng situation, at hindi lahat may access sa resources needed para makapag-attend ng synchronous class.
We’re not asking for classes to be cancelled indefinitely. We’re simply asking for understanding and consideration given the circumstances. Sana rin maintindihan na not everyone is already back to their normal routine just because classes are expected to continue.
Education is important, yes, but students’ safety and well-being should matter too. Sana naman, before expecting everyone to attend synchronously, consider muna kung realistically possible ba ito for all students affected by the storm.
A little consideration during situations like this would really go a long way. Hindi naman siguro mahirap intindihin na sometimes, students need time to recover too. 🙂
