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?

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.
