Families Say Online Learning Makes Education Difficult, Stressful

OAN Newsroom

The first week of school has begun for a majority of students around the country. Students living in areas that have eased coronavirus restrictions will be allowed to learn in classrooms, while others will need computers in order to participate in online learning.

While online learning can keep students socially distant, some parents have expressed concerns over the real effectiveness of the practice.

One parent from Georgia shared a photo of her kindergartner on his first day of remote learning. In the photo, which went viral on Facebook, he appeared beyond frustrated while trying to learn online.

“I just took that picture because I wanted people to see reality. Then he came over, we hugged, and I was crying right along with him. Getting 5,000 emails a day from all their teachers, trying to keep up different apps, different codes, different platforms. Some links don’t work. You’re running from one laptop to another.” – Jana Coombs, parent.

  1. Typical millenial. Nothing is easy at first, but with some hard work,sweat and tears it becomes easier to manage. Then again, the generation that has always wanted things given to them.

  2. As difficult as the school situation is, it is a Godsend. Now, finally, parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins, and other assorted “guardians” are now exposed to that black hole called “public education.”

    I’m not as worried about the kids not keeping pace with their grades as much as I am that this completely broken system will not be fully exposed and scrapped — along with their unions. This is one of the rarest opportunities that school choice could have ever had. That timeworn adage is true: To make an omelet you have to break a few eggs.

    That’s exactly what I’ve been saying. A week or so ago there was a school administrator on Twitter worrying about not being able to indoctrinate those little minds with liberal principles. Let the school system wither and die.

  4. Nation that spends 13 hours a day online claims being online is difficult.

    “Whats this thing? A mouse? What the hell does that do?”
    “KOM-PEW-TER……nope. Never heard of it.”
    “Laptops have cameras? What’s a camera?”

    Run everything on instagram/tik-tok. Attendance would be perfect.
