Ethics Assignment

Students are now virtual learning at home. I research The New York Times, and some students preferred to go back into the classroom. I spoke to my 15-year niece and asked her, and she told me that she misses school. She misses her friends, teachers, sports, and extracurricular activities. My nephew, who is seven, discovered that he enjoys getting to work at their own pace, setting his schedule, and being free from the school’s stressful environment. I feel this is a challenge of distance learning, from struggling to understand assignments and getting distracted to not having reliable internet.
I do believe that a school is a place for building friendships, learning responsibility, and getting to escape from the house. There also appears to be a lack of motivation to accomplish tasks because while they were in school, they have an hour and a half each day to get work done in class. Still, now students keep pushing assignments back until the last second, which definitely won’t benefit their work ethic in the upcoming year. I believe that some parents are concern about reopening school for safety reasons. They are concerned with getting sick or passing the virus to another person and infecting a family member. Some people think that wearing a mask is dumb and inconvenient. I think it is a matter of life and death. Covid-19 has been a headache for the United States of America. The virus has hit us hard as far as infections and death. The debate is we will go back to or will we stay home and learn virtually.
It was great to hear Mrs. Buckley presented her concern about this matter. I was on the pro-side of returning to in-person learning.  I listen to my classmate and their concern there is no right or wrong about this—the debate whether or not remote learning is better than attending school in person. Now, of course, at this time, it is advised to stay home. The risk of catching Covid-19 will decrease significantly by learning online. However, let’s say there wasn’t a pandemic for the sake of this claim and counterclaim. Would it be better if children were to receive education from a teacher and classroom, or behind computers? Would the mental health of those children deteriorate? In-person learning is far superior to virtual learning because this learning model provides an opportunity for learning social skills, improves motions, and can assist in creating solids friendship.
Firstly, almost all children and young adults need human interaction, words of encouragement, and physical activity. Although that does not mean this isn’t achievable at home, it’s better to have it in large amounts in most circumstances. Such as an entire classroom of people with who a student can get lost in interaction. And some classes just cannot be taught online. Science classes are a great example, as it is often necessary to complete a lab to understand the matter. That is impossible to do in most homes, making science extremely difficult for students to comprehend through a screen. They also have the opportunity to talk to teachers and counselors in real life if they’re having trouble with something. To understand that an instance like that isn’t life for everyone. More introverted individuals would learn better in an environment when they’re by themselves, and that’s when online learning would be more beneficial. It depends on one’s personality and ability to open up and come out of the shell.
One way to gain motivation for schoolwork is by creating connections deeper than surface level. When you have such a flexible schedule, you’re able to spend your time differently instead of attending class and studying. Who’s going to stop you from doing whatever you want when you’re home and have your schedule. Having friends and family there in real life is a great way to encourage you. Being at school gives you a fantastic opportunity to meet new people as well make new friends. There are many ways why in-person learning is beneficial to kids and young adults, but there are also many ways to do school from home. It all depends on your preferences and capabilities. An in-person school is more accessible because it improves students’ mental health and social skills. It also lets them have better motivation and potential to make possible life-lone friendships. Though, again, it depends on preference. I am anxious to get back to school and foster my love of learning through my peers.
