Band 7

Some argue that schools are no longer necessary because children learn so much from the Internet and can be educated at home. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

#argue #schools #children #internet #home
Many observers state that the young generation no longer needs to learn at school but they can study at
home
 through the
Internet
. I strongly disagree that schools will be totally substituted for information technology for two reasons.
First,
I believe that a distant learning model is not good for their psychological development. It is widely experienced that during the COVID-19 pandemic pupils should study from
home
. Many of them were easily distracted and lost their focus after the first 30 minutes of staring at the screen. Many
students
 were experiencing computer fatigue. With limited direct interactions with their friends, an heir can easily feel isolated and lonely.
In addition
, parents had to accompany them in studying which created more burdens for them.
Secondly
, learning at
home
 through the
Internet
 is only possible for those
students
 who have adequate access to the
Internet
. In fact, not all children have it.
Students
 from remote areas where the infrastructure for the
Internet
 appears to be weak will find it difficult to undertake an
Internet
-based learning process. Pupils who are from low-income families will face financial challenges to buy a laptop,
Internet
 broadband, and monthly fees.
Hence
,
due to
 accessibility issues, not all children can be educated from
home
. In brief,
Internet
-based learning is not good for all pupils because it may create psychological challenges for them and not all of them have adequate access to the
Internet
. Because the right to education is a basic right of all children, learning from
home
 may violate the enjoyment of the right to education for
students
 who come from remote areas, low-income families, and those who do not speak English.
