There were a lot of great ideas and thoughts that were shared during the ethics debate that we had. I had already had my own thoughts on this topic and also had done research on it a little like a couple weeks ago. I also enjoyed listening to the experience and thoughts of the professors mother because that also helped me to understand more of the whole situation. After the debate I pretty much just though that its a very complicated problem that was presented and there really isn’t any right or wrong answer as a couple of students stated during the debate, because you cant just make a blanket statement about what should be done by every parent, student, and teacher, because everyone’s situation is different. At the end of the day I think that the option of both should be there because some parents may prefer their children stay home where its supposed to be more safe, and they can watch and help their children and make sure that they are learning well, whereas that may not be an option for other parents and they may want to send their children back to school so that they would receive the best education possible because they cant 100% be there at home. Its really just for whatever will get the child the best education possible, and for them to develop the skills necessary to succeed later on in life, because it is true that the earlier you develop certain skills, such as social, etc, the better you will be later on. During the debate it was brought up that maybe there can be some kind of mix of both online and in person learning and i think that might be a great idea because then you can get possibly the best of both worlds. Children need to develop their social skills early on in life and school is a huge part of that and if children aren’t going to school and meeting and interacting with new kids and adults and making new friends and having a good time, they can become more shy and that could hurt them in the long run. One thing that I thought were good things about online learning was that children are getting much more familiar with technology such as computers and are able to use them at very young ages now, which could really help them out later in life especially as the world gets more and more technologically advanced. Another positive that was brought up by Jaylen was that better teachers are available to all kids since with online learning the location barriers that would have previously prevented teachers from teaching in certain areas due to location are no longer there because it can just be over the computer from anywhere. In conclusion I think that a mix of both and the choice is most important, I think parents, teachers, and even kids, should decide for themselves what they would like to do, and the options should be available for whatever they want because teaching these kids is most important and we should be doing whatever we can in order to give these kids the best education they possibly can while keeping everyone safe and comfortable.

Hi Miko, I agree everyone has a different opinion on this there is no right or wrong. . We are very concern about getting the virus. We all have to decide if we want to resume back to school or take online classes. It is exhausted for parents and students. The debate was fascinating in the class. I learn a lot about how everyone feels about this topic.
