Education in Partnership with COVID

Image
  As we all know the Pandemic made learning for students really difficult especially when you don’t have a stable knowledge of what to do. New comers especially the one’s that graduated for Grades 7 and 11 will have a very hard time, because some subjects or lessons are hard to understand especially if you don’t know what you are doing at all. I personally experienced a hard time studying, especially at first because I didn’t know what to, and to be honest I was lost in the midst of it. But as time progressed, I coped with the situation that are given to us. That in my mind, this is now The New Normal.             The New Normal has a few advantages and some disadvantages. One advantage, is that you can learn safely at home and not go to school, while the disadvantage is, yes, you’re learning at home but are you really gaining some formal knowledge, and do you really understand what you’re doing?

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought upon the world with challenges. Almost all countries had to shut down their economies to halt the spread of the virus and the Philippines is one of those countries who have taken strict measures by implementing the Enhanced Community Quarantine on 15 March 2020.

  I congratulate you on winning the votes of your people. The responsibility of this country is now riding on your shoulders. You might be thinking, Im the president you all need to obey me. No, just no. Know your place as a citizen of the Philippines, you made mistakes aswell especially this time, that made your lovely citizens to suffer, and caused some faulty deaths of some citizens. At the time COVID started, I think you anticipated how much this virus did to the world. The fact that you didn’t close the borders in time just collided the country into pain. OFW from different countries, with a massive amount of cases, returned home, that time quarantine facilities haven’t established yet, so you can just come in not knowing that you have the virus. At that time vaccines were unknown, so the virus kept spreading and spreading non stop. This faulty decision of yours just made your country crumble into a millions different pieces that you cannot undo that easily. Take this as advic...
