Have thought about what your going to do? I mean in this quarantine your child has probably been in remote learning. Right? Lets say we have already gone out of the quarantine and you have been deciding "should I keep my child in remote or school?" This is probably the dumbest thing I am bringing up to you, but there might be parents who tackling this question.



There are many ways of how kids feel about this. A lot say "lets go back to school" or

"I love remote learning, I just want to keep doing it at my own pace." So its hard to decide, but there are benefits from both sides. But one of them might be better for your child.



Remote learning. Remote learning is great you can do things from home and not worry about a lot of things. You can finish whenever you want, so on. The child can feel very secure at home, very comfortable, and work at their own pace. Most kids actually do better in remote learning than others. A study shown some kids fit better in remote learning. The problem is that kids don't have a teacher to guide them and teachers don't have their students to have fun. Another problem is that you can't prepare your child for life. What I mean is in school you interact with other kids such as friends, bullies, teachers, so on. At home, that is going to be a challenge.


You might have been wondering what others said about remote

California school student said, "Zoom calls and texting just can't replace face to face interaction.(National Review 2020)" School is very good for children. They meet new friends, deal with bullies, etc. A New Jersey student added, "I feel like my education is not being fulfilled. I have a significant lack of motivation and I miss the thought-provoking discussions I used to have with my classmates during physical school."

They have a point… your child has a better chance to be more social, to success with dealing with bullies at work. So school has a lot of benefits it prepares you for life.

Its not that Remote learning is bad its just school also has it benefits, and it may not the only teach, but school will prepare you better.



So now you know the goods and the bad. This can be a hard decision, but also make sure you include your child in the decision. If you’re a parent that doesn't consider there child in the decision. I would since, its there decision too and how they feel about remote or school I hope you learned more. Thank you for reading.
