    The Burden of Online vs Traditional Education

    A reaction paper about Online vs Face-to-face education

    According to Maricel Cuico (2020), the concept of education expanded in the 16 th

    century where childhood requires time to study. In addition, schools for children were

    created and developed as learning environments. Furthermore, the first educational

    system in the Philippines was established in 1863 where students had traditional

    classes. On the contrary of traditional classes, which is online classes, it has been

    controversial whether to use this as an alternative mode of learning caused by the

    COVID-19 pandemic.

    Furthermore, the greatest and first option for learning was traditional class.

    Wherein unity and understanding by the means of queries were prevalent. On the other

    hand, both students and teachers are affected because internet and devices such as

    laptop may be a burden to them. As for teachers, many are not adapted with the

    modern technology. As for students, submission of inputs in most cases were through

    self-study. In addition, online education has been a burden for both students and

    teachers. Wherein both have experienced difficulties.

    My Reaction
    When online class was declared as a mode of learning for the school year 2020-

    2021, I had mixed reactions such as acceptance and disappointment. First, we all know

    it was debated whether the school year should stop for a year. Specifically, the year

    2020-2021. Second, the expression of grievance and anguish was prevalent knowing

    that the mode of learning is online. Lastly, despite the mode of learning here in the

    Philippines are modular or online, both still require a device such as a phone or laptop

    and a stable internet connection to be able to keep up in terms of academic

    performance and school requirements.

    In conclusion, both are a hindrance. In accordance with our conversation,

    between me and my former classmate, online is more recommendable because the

    teachers teach it especially in private schools.

    Unprivileged Students

    Majority of the public-school students came from lower income families. As

    stated, the students have to carry the burden because they do not have enough

    resources such as a device especially a laptop, an internet connection, and an idealistic

    environment. In fact, many does not possess these. Evidently, the use of data is not

    enough knowing that the internet connection in the Philippines is not stable where

    disconnections occur most of the time. Moreover, they do not have a choice unless they

    want to skip the school year.


    Privileged Students

    Privilege students possess the resources such as an internet connection and a

    device such as a laptop. However, it does not mean their internet connection is still

    stable. Many are still encountering connectivity problems. Moreover, they do not have

    an idealistic environment because we do not know what is happening to their lives.

    Evidently, home is different from school.

    My Response

    Though I am a privileged student, it does not mean it is easy despite my mode of

    learning which is online has been a year. However, if I must make a decision especially

    if I am an unprivileged student, I have to accept it and adjust in spite of knowing that

    education plays a vital role in our lives. Moreover, I would yearn that my mode of

    learning should be online because it is easier. After all, health is wealth. We could not

    risk our lives just for the sake of education. Likewise, I strongly disagree to skip the

    school year because it is indeed obvious that it might take years for this pandemic to

    end.
