Students say they have a hard time with online classes
Several private schools have started their online classes and it seems like students are
having a tough time coping with the new set up and vented their frustrations on Twitter
with the hashtag #AcademicFreeze.
Calls for an academic freeze are nothing new as parents and students have earlier
expressed their desire to put a halt to this school year to make education more equal for
people for all walks of life since not everybody has access to the Internet and can afford
to provide each kid with a laptop or tablet.
However, the main concern now for students is just how difficult online schooling is
compared to actual classes. Several students lamented that they are no longer learning,
as their focus has shifted to completing assignments on a daily basis.
@kawaii_lyka wrote, “We’re not a robot! We have a life too. I know lots of teachers also
struggle in this new set up, but please – more consideration for us students. If (a) teacher
(is) having a hard time, well, the students also. We need a break! We are exhausted
(from) having lots of modules.”
@abcutie2 said that online classes are so “stressful,” while @simp4dazai_ said they are
now “only studying to comply, not to learn.”
“We’re not learning anymore, we’re just like a robot doing tasks and giving the
requirements just to move up for next year,” echoed @lovingasunshine.
Even students who love to study are struggling with online schooling.
“I’m not against education. In fact, I love studying, pero kung ganito ang magiging
sistema, hindi lang ang mga estudyante ang nahihirapan (but if this will be the system,
not only the students will have a tough time) but also the teachers. It’s not about
learning anymore, it’s about passing,” shared @lostloserposts.
@3plemoneyy tweeted on behalf of his sister, who is overwhelmed by the amount of
work the school is demanding from her.
“Let me share to everyone my younger sister’s story,” he said. “FYI she’s only in 3rd
grade but she has a bunch of tasks to do and required to submit it next day. Like? Do you
really even think that my sister can go that far?”
@sageofthegalaxy said they might survive the school year, but they might not have the
proper know-how to tackle the next grade. “Please don’t ever blame us in the next
semesters about not learning anything from this semester of online requirements.
Because all I did were requirements here, requirements there… I’m not learning
anything, just feeling the pressure,” he said.
A lot of students blamed the government and accused the Department of Education
(DepEd) for their predicament.
@krzzlrpdvlrs fumed, “I’m sorry but I have to say DepEd and CHED are being
inconsiderate and selfish. Where’s the leadership in their decision? They’re just thinking
about the future, not minding what it will cost us in the present time.”
@wokinamo added, “Let’s face the fact that we are not fully equipped in this kind of
educational setup. Embrace the reality that the government has inefficient plans and
those poorest of the poor are greatly affected by this pandemic.”
“Education becomes a privilege, when it should be a RIGHT,” stressed @KianMkrmdm.
“That’s why online schooling sucks. That’s why we are for #AcademicFreeze. I AM
THANKFUL OF MY PRIVILEGES, but I won’t disregard the fact that those privileges are
not meant to be JUST privileges.”

The article tackles about online learning system that has become trending even before it is
pronounced due to Coronavirus 2019. Many are against the online class having their own reasons
but mostly related financially, they say, not everyone can afford the price of the online class. Now
that some private schools already started online class another complaint has risen from the
students themselves. After a week or so of online classes, many students get frustrated with how
tough it is and once again tren the #AcademicFreeze.
Czarina Nicole Ong Ki the author wrote the article written in consideration of the student's
feelings, ideas, concerns, and opinions. It includes several posts from social media mostly about
the students complaining about how they won’t learn anything because they are bombarded with
too many school works that all of their attention are into it. Because of this many blamed the
government because of their predicament.
As a student myself after reading the article I feel empathetic to the students who post
such comments. This also makes me realize that it is not only me who had difficulty adjusting to
the online learning system but every student. In my opinion, if a teacher or a parent has read this
article they will also feel the frustration of their child and student and will try their best to be
always there to support them.
