  1. Hi, my name is dollar proposal to and for those
  2. options of my online in person or those opting if
  3. you can sign up for an online in person class
  4. and offer online.
  5. Um For me, I think it was better before the
  6. epidemic where if you sign up for free in person
  7. class, you got in person.
  8. Um There was no opting ground line.
  9. Uh I think it's better that way.
  10. Um even for elementary schools to colleges, you know, all
  11. those are having those same options basically.
  12. Um I left sister who's just an elementary school, you
  13. know those teachers that were given 22 students or so
  14. um three or three or two students um signed up
  15. for online while the other ones were all in person.
  16. So this teacher was having struggles where during her office
  17. hours um where she was at the school teaching and
  18. stuff, she was worried about her in person students and
  19. then she would have to go home and do all
  20. this extra work on off her hours for these three
  21. or two um online students.
  22. And my sister was one of them and they kept
  23. getting forgotten about.
  24. Okay. It was a struggle for teachers to have their
  25. lessons plans for in person and online and uh so
  26. my mom just decided you know we're going to put
  27. her back in person.
  28. It seems it's better like that for the teachers and
  29. my my daughter like my sister, she just better in
  30. person. Um But there were pros and cons to it,
  31. especially for us college students.
  32. Um prose was that you know you never have to
  33. leave the comfort your house.
  34. You don't wanna talk today, you didn't have to uh
  35. You got a pen heck go get one from the
  36. kitchen on the fridge, right?
  37. Um. Uh huh.
  38. And you know you also weren't commuting better for the
  39. environment and it fuels no no, you know, stuff coming
  40. out of your guests or effect on the environment in
  41. any way because you know, you just weren't commuting, you
  42. have to buy a bus pass cheaper, you have to
  43. buy a plus pass parking pass.
  44. Um Cons though was that you weren't getting that one
  45. on one time with teachers and professors, where if you
  46. just ask questions while teachers teaching something and they could
  47. go more in depth into that topic.
  48. Um You also weren't able to just ask that person
  49. next to you.
  50. There are those teachers, you know who took off their
  51. uh student list off blackboard where you had literally no
  52. way to just talk to another students because the teachers
  53. didn't want, you can uh communicating with other students.
  54. You know, you can't be like, hey Where are you
  55. at? Because I'm on 38.
  56. But the Ellison says, plan says they're just feeling on
  57. Um 42, Heck I'm only on 38 because last week
  58. were on 37.
  59. Are we skipping 38?
  60. Like what's going on?
  61. I can't talk to anyone.
  62. Um There also wasn't that much resources.
  63. You know, you couldn't just go to the library to
  64. find all the book resources you needed or computer because
  65. you know, you've got the databases where you just look
  66. something up better and where a book should be here
  67. online. It was easier that way.
  68. Um There also was internet connection to difficulties.
  69. I was taking exam on lockdown browser and I was
  70. saying goodbye to the exam.
  71. I just you know, okay.
  72. I didn't get it finished taking it because I was
  73. excited about it.
  74. And once you exit out, if you're not supposed to
  75. enter back into it, correct?
  76. Uh Uh huh.
  77. In person lecture pros though.
  78. Is that you had those dia berries and stuff after
  79. class and you can find some research, Go to library,
  80. You could ask the teacher a question right away and
  81. they could answer it for you.
  82. Um There also where those you know tutoring centers where
  83. you can just if you need to help with the
  84. essay or math or science, you go to that one
  85. classroom and you can get all the help you need
  86. right? Especially help help you prepare for tests and exams.
  87. Um Okay.
  88. Um What else?
  89. Um Con so you know you didn't you were given
  90. that pressure um Of like if a teacher called him
  91. you for a question and you didn't know the answer
  92. and you just were silent.
  93. Those students, you know, you've got the pressure.
  94. You felt it under pressure that you just, you just
  95. weren't smart enough to be in class.
  96. Um, the middle gun was though is we were all
  97. still paying tuition paid, that jim feed for the gym,
  98. none of us were using because we weren't even on
  99. campus anymore.
  100. Um, achieve virtual says that not all students have robust
  101. internet access.
  102. You know, there were those people who don't have internet
  103. because they have unlimited internet on their phones and services
  104. on their devices and they had to get wifi because
  105. that was the easiest way for them to always make
  106. sure they had some kind of service.
  107. Um new york times said that they were um students
  108. who just, I mean parents who just didn't want their
  109. kids to go back to in person because it was
  110. just easier for them and better that they were online
  111. when those parents probably just didn't want to have to
  112. take that extra route of having to drop off their
  113. students and then, I mean their Children and then going
  114. to work.
  115. Um So there were pros and cons, but I just
  116. think it was better the way it was where, you
  117. know, you had waked up the extra hour because you
  118. had to be at work or school on time.
  119. Thank you.
