Talk about online classes that have become common in schools.

With the coronavirus crisis dragging on, many schools have held both online and offline classes over the past year. Teachers produced video lessons using gadgets and gizmos, and video editing software. Some classes were held in real time using videoconferencing platforms.

Students are growing accustomed to this kind of socially distanced learning. Students with self-directed study habits were able to study even more efficiently than before. With videos, they could skip ahead to just the parts they couldn't get a grasp of. Direct messages have also made it easier to ask the teachers some questions.

But with classes being held from home, some students aren't hitting the books at all. Some of them have experienced a dip in their academic performances.

Have your kids attended socially distanced classes because of COVID-19?

Yes. I think at least half of all classes for the past year have been like that.

How are the school's online classes?

They have their pros and cons.

I suppose things will return to normal soon, with in-person classes.

Even so, I think online classes will still be widely used.
