Western Civ Blog 36

Today on our online western civ class we had to write a thoughtful, personal essay that analyzes, interprets, and synthesizes the material that Mr. Schick posted on ​yesterday's blog. Due to this word crisis there have been many things that have been modified in everyones daily lives. One of these modifications being cyber school. There are many things that can interrupt you from doing your work. When being at home you have full access to electronic and internet which can stop you from doing your work. This is not the only hard part of cyber school, it is also much harder to ask teachers questions about an assignment which often leads to students making mistakes on their classwork. Another issue being the amount of work. It seems that the workload has doubled since switching to online school. All of these things can lead kids to copy other students work and sometimes can lead kids to not do their work at all. These are all examples of cons during cyber school, and even through the ration of pros and cons are not even, there are still some good things coming from this. We are very lucky to be able to continue out education during this time, some schools are not fortunate enough to be able to do so. Students can learn and do their work at their own pace because we do not have a time limit to class. During this rough time everyone needs to stay positive and motivated so that we can get through it as quick as possible.

  1. Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this, Margaux. I agree that the cons outnumber the pros, and this is asking a lot of students to basically "self-teach." But I also think most students realize how serious the situation is, and accept their responsibilities during these difficult times. Keep in mind that you can email me any time if you have questions or problems, and I will try to respond as quickly as I can. Hang in there, Margaux!
