For me having blended learning is very hard. If you're using cellphones or laptops in answering your modules it's a big challenge to the students because not everyone has a good internet connection there are times that the internet is very slow and there are also times that it's good. While in the case of students who uses printed modulars there are also difficulties because based on my experience some of the modules has lacking pages and that's not good because they're loosing important points or topic in the module.
What I'm saying is having this situation are both hard for the teachers and the students, they don't have any choice but to cope up with the new normal. Imagine the students who don't have any cellphones or stable internet connection, how can they take their diagnostic test or post test? Because in our case we use google forms. Every students struggle in every subject especially math, let's just be honest that math is very difficult, we need teachers to teach us and we don't have any choice but to watch videos from youtube. These videos from youtube didn't help at all, and if we talk about our concerns for a certain subject like math, teachers decided to have a google meet but not everyone can attend. Not everyone has wifi, not everyone has load, and not everyone has cellphones. What do we do now?
I know that students are very pressure in submitting their answer sheets. We have limited time to do it and it's very hard to adjust because it's not possible to answer our modules whole day just answering it and doing nothing. We need to do the household chores ,take a bath, eat and help our parents.
Students let's be honest that our answers are either from google or we just copy it from our classmates because we don't really understand the lessons. And by that how can we answer "WHAT I HAVE LEARNED?" are we just gonna copy it also?
As what I've said, having blended learning is very hard and I'm hoping that there will be face to face classes soon because its just for our future. I can't imagine that grade 12 students will graduate experiencing this and also the grade 10 students who are completers, they're doing everything they can to have a good grade but they don't have any choice they can't understand every modules. They're not genuises they need rest. We all need rest
