One challenge that many children faced during HBL was an environment that is not conducive for learning. Some kids had to stay in the same room which can cause distractions as there is more than one lesson going on at a time.

Personally, I was very fortunate that I did not face this issue, but I was sometimes distracted by my phone during lessons.

A challenge faced by many people during HBL was that it was an extremely distracting environment. With everyone being quarantined during the Circuit Breaker, the household ends up having too many people who are all doing their work at the same time, and not having enough rooms can be a problem.

Personally, I did not get distracted as I have my own room to study in. However, I struggled with lessons online as it was difficult to do certain things and it felt easier to learn in a classroom.

It is hard for students to learn in a conditions where there are lots of distractions for example WhatsApp messages from friends.

Some families had trouble finding digital devices that were suitable for usage in HBL For example, in read me 1, Sheryl was having trouble completing assignments on her smartphone as it was tedious opening multiple tabs on her phone and her phone also could not support all the features needed for her assignments, which resulted in her being unable to complete her history assignment.
In my case, I was having trouble concentrating as much as I do in school physically as the lessons felt more engaging and interesting in school than it was during HBL. Also, it was also more distracting to attend online lessons at home as apps like Whatsapp could distract me.
I was also worried about not being able to do well in exams due to HBL as it was fairly disruptive to the normal learning schedule that would otherwise be in place during normal school time.

One challenge others faced during HBL was not being able to focus during lessons. During HBL, lessons were conducted through platforms like zoom. People might get easily distracted from things such as mobile phones or television. I too found it difficult to focus sometimes as I got distracted by my phone.

in times where everyone is stuck at home, we will feel agitated and clueless . I felt the difficulty to concentrate in class and to do work because i do not have the conducive environment to do work or study at home. I was worried about not being able to catch up and i just wanted to get out, have some personal space to myself.
In school, there are way lesser distraction and my younger brother was honestly very distracting. My whole family felt agitated. it also took me awhile to adjust to online learning, knowing how to use zoom and other platforms efficiently.

One challenge faced during HBL is that our lessons are conducted via google meets and zoom,and some students may lie that their camera is spoilt and hence the teacher cannot see what is the student doing under the camera

One challenge faced by many during HBL is that it is difficult to focus during lessons because of their devices and that nobody is there to remind them to pay attention.

One challenge one may face during HBL is that they may get distracted easily as they would be able to use their phones or devices during lesson time through zoom. This would cause them to lose focus in class and not learn anything. For me, I also feel that I wasn’t able to focus during class as I was easily distracted.

One challenge some face maybe the fact that their household does not have enough devices to share among their siblings. Plus, they might have to share the same room while in lessons, making hard for them to focus on their individual lessons. For me, the most problematic thing is to adjust to the new environment and routine, I sometimes get distracted by my phone or by other things online.

One challenge face during HBL is that if a students have siblings they would have to share the device among them. This can disrupt students learning process due to them sharing devices with each other thus the student would have to use his or her phone to learn. Using phone can restrict a lot of things for example multitasking or you would not be able to see the words when the teacher is sharing screen as the screen is to small, this could also lead to having poor eyesight.

One challenge that I think other faced in HBL is like if they have a sibling and either there is not enough laptops or computers for them to use or their younger siblings that requires attention and distracting them while trying to concentrate in class. For me, I was being distracted by my phone as in school there are rules that do not allow you to use your phone during school hours but at home this is not possible so I was being distracted by my phone during class.

One challenge some face during HBL is that they often get distracted. The students do not have any restrictions on their phones unlike in school they have to keep their phones in their bags and are not allowed to use them during school hours. However, the teacher is unable to stop the students from using their phones and some might not listen to the class as they might be in their rooms and could have been sleeping through the class. i find it hard to focus during HBL as i was distracted by my phone

One challenge other people in the society faced during HBL is that they do not have a conductive but distracting environment to study. This is because some of the less wealthy households lack access to ways which may boost their learning such as tuition and learning device. They have to put in more efforts to try and “digest” what the teacher have taught them and alternative methods for learning. Some have to even take care of their family members while studying.

This is different from me as I came from a small family and my sibling is much older than me so I can study without any distraction. I am fortunate to have access to learning device so I can easily learn during HBL

The challenge that others in the society faced during HBL is that they do not have a conducive and productive environment for HBL. Some may not have their own rooms hence they cannot focus on their lessons online due to other distracting factors such as siblings of younger age that require a lot of attention.
The challenges I faced was not being able to focus well despite having a peaceful and conducive environment as I kept getting distracted by my phone.

The challenge that others in the society faced during HBL was the ability to have a conducive environment for their HBL lessons. This is due to the Covid-19 pandemic where all their family members have to stay at home to Work-from-home or siblings that also have to attend HBL lessons together. Some families may have kids that are of a younger age which may disrupt them causing them to be unable to focus during HBL. However, I face challenges such as being unable to focus due to the many distractions at home, such as the use of electronic devices.

Others faced difficulties adjusting to the new routine. I struggled to stay focused during the zoom meeting due the the many distraction around me such as the television and my phone.

Though many struggled with studies, I was struggling with getting enough food ( groceries, etc.) There wasn't much stock and the queue was always very long. To avoid the long queues  I had to get groceries early in the morning at around 6 am when the stock comes in again, and get ready for home based learning

The challenge that some faced during HBL was the inability to focus well on their studies through video calls. I too did find it slightly difficult to focus during the HBL period when schooling was done through zoom.
