CAN DISTANCE LEARNING REPLACE TRADITIONAL CLASSES

• Can Distance Learning Replace Traditional
  Classes? Lets see
• With Covid-19, several various alternatives have
  had to be placed in place in these trying times
  to protect human beings from the deadly virus.
  One of these security steps has been to
  substitute distance / online learning for
  traditional classes. Many of us are contemplating
  the problem now after the pandemic is over, with
  conventional classes, we can proceed with
  distance learning, or return to normal life. I
  believe that traditional classes are very
  important and that, instead of distance learning,
  they should be retained because they encourage
  social interaction, teach time management, allow
  a wider range of classes and make experimental
  learning more interesting.

Social Contact

• Traditional classes are of the utmost importance,
  to begin with, as they facilitate social contact,
  a crucial factor even after school in most
  occupations. This is critical because most
  professions require contact from day to day, such
  as a nurse, teacher, or lawyer. Another reason
  this is important is that students can learn how
  to function as a team early on, another important
  characteristic of most careers, such as IT or
  president. There would be no social contact and
  minimum teamwork in online learning, as you are
  unable to speak or work with the person
  physically.

Time Management

• Next, there is no time management in day-to-day
  life in online classes, while in conventional
  classes, students must be punctual and arrive on
  time every day. This requires a lot of planning,
  both the night before and in the morning.
  However, an online class does not take more than
  5 minutes to plan. There is no commute, and only
  a laptop is required. This can be very damaging
  to the child in the future as they may never be
  punctual and, in most situations, will be
  unprepared.

Extra-Curricular Activities

• Going forward, conventional classes make it
  possible to teach a broader range of classes,
  including extracurricular activities. For
  instance, if a student wants to take a major in
  art or pursue a dance career, they must practice
  in person so that their instructor can correct or
  perform an example of their error. In online
  learning, as the teacher does not correct the
  student, there is no way that these courses can
  be taught at the same level.
• Finally, with hands-on activities, conventional
  classes are capable of making learning
  interesting. For example, you will not be able to
  conduct any experiments online in science class.
  This is because you do not have the materials or
  you are unable to follow the instructions.
  Whereas in conventional schooling, you can
  conduct several experiments in science class.
  This is because you are supplied with the
  materials and supervised by an instructor.
  Another advantage of traditional classes is that
  you can go on field trips. This is not possible
  in an online class.

Conclusion

• In conclusion, traditional classes are a much
  better form of learning. As they encourage social
  engagement, teach essential life skills such as
  time management. It offers a broader spectrum of
  learning, and make school by offering hands-on
  lessons more interesting. If online classes
  replace conventional classrooms, future
  generations will hold even more of themselves.
  They will care less about the environment. This
  will happen because students will not connect.
