Pandemic is still in its high risk-- employees, students, children and all people are struggling. Education is one of the sectors who struggle the most especially with how teachers and students will adjust to education's new normal.
Online learning has been one of the remedies for DepEd to still continue education despite this current situation but little did they know that both students and teachers are not becoming productive anymore as some only attend classes to strive and continue school even without gaining knowledge anymore.
With this article, this showed that teachers and students are already at their peak of quitting because there is already the high amount of absenteeism and low work completion. It also stated here that, teachers needed support and guidance morally and physically as they are still at their adjusting pace.
I know that we are all struggling and if academic break is served on my table, I would probably grab it as I believe that quality education really matters rather than just graduating on without having knowledge on mind because at the end of the day, the economy will still the one who will suffer as employees in the future are not fully-equipped to quality education.

Several months into the new school year, the question remains: Is remote learning going better this fall than it was in the spring?

New data from the RAND Corporation show that many teachers are still struggling.

Teachers in all-remote environments reported higher student absenteeism and less student work completion than teachers in face-to-face classrooms. These online teachers also said that they needed more support and guidance in planning instruction than their colleagues who were teaching in-person.

These results are especially relevant right now, as COVID-19 cases are surging across the country, and several big-city school districts are weighing a return to fully remote classes.

"From this data that we've collected, it's clear that there are some students who are very likely falling through the cracks because of remote learning," said Julia Kaufman, a senior policy researcher at the RAND Corporation and a co-author of the report, in an interview with Education Week.

RAND surveyed 1,082 teachers and 1,147 school leaders from the organization's American Educator Panels in October, asking about their experiences during the 2020-21 school year so far.

The results cover a wide swath of issues, from teacher morale to substitute shortages to technology access. But the data on instruction, specifically, hint at the pandemic's long-term effects on student learning.

Slower Pace of Learning

Classes are not proceeding at the usual pace, the report found:

Two-thirds of teachers said that the majority of their students were less prepared for grade-level work than they were at this time last year

56 percent of teachers said that they had covered only half, or less than half, of the curriculum content that they would have gotten to by this time last year

Only about 1 in 5 teachers said that they were on the same schedule as years past

Teachers in remote and hybrid environments reported more challenges than those in solely face-to-face instruction.

Absenteeism has been a persistent problem this fall across all learning modalities, as Education Week has reported. But teachers in the RAND survey who were working in person said that their students showed up more consistently:

In-person teachers said 91 percent of their students were present every day

Hybrid teachers reported 85 percent of their students attended daily

Teachers who were fully remote estimated 84 percent attended daily

Assignment completion varied by learning environment, too. Teachers who were fully in-person said that 82 percent of their students turned in most or all of their work, compared to teachers who were fully remote, who said that only 62 percent of their students did the same.

Some Students 'More Likely to Be Falling Behind'

Like the Education Week Research Center, RAND found that schools where most of the students qualified for free and reduced-price lunch, and schools that serve majority students of color, are more likely to offer remote learning, rather than in-person classes.

"These are students who are also more likely to be falling behind, less likely to have access to a digital device or the internet. The odds are kind of stacked against them," Kaufman said.

Online teachers were more likely to say that they needed guidance on how best to support students with severe disabilities, English-language learners, and students experiencing homelessness or poverty.

They also said they needed more general instructional support-in adapting curriculum, in motivating students, in accelerating them academically, and in assessing their learning-than teachers who are in the physical classroom every day.

Even as they struggle to make remote learning work, teachers still report deep concerns about the virus: 57 percent of teachers said that their health and the health of their loved ones was a major concern right now, and 27 percent said it was a moderate concern.

This picture leaves state and federal governments with a dual imperative, Kaufman and her co-author Melissa Diliberti argue. One, make schools safer to attend in person: Take precautions like universal mask-wearing, and then keep track of which precautions actually work. And two, direct much more funding and support toward making remote learning better.

As EdWeek's Catherine Gewertz and Stephen Sawchuk wrote earlier this month, schools are making these decisions with incomplete and imperfect information, and often face harsh criticism from community members whether they're open or closed.

"Regardless, we know that students who are getting remote instruction, especially if they're in high-minority and high-poverty schools, they need the most support," Kaufman said.

The Importance of Technology in Education

I believe base on the article, there is no denying that internet is extremely important in our lives. Technology allows us to accomplish everything from study the vastness. It's no wonder, then, that technology has a significant impact on schooling. While many schools throughout the world are utilizing technology in the classroom, others are not so fortunate. There is currently a technological gap in Philippine schools, prohibiting pupils from taking advantage of the benefits of technology in the classroom. Also the Philippines would significantly gain by offering additional high educational resources to its kids.

Public education and technology are harder to achieve especially in areas where the majority of people live below their means. The article goes on to say that there is a technological in the Philippines local schools, which is caused by the lack of distribution of benefits to those people living below the poverty. Pupils in these lower-income locations will not receive the same educational support as students from higher-income areas if information is not available.

As a future educator We can support Filipino public school students get the education they deserve by assisting pupils in increasing their access to educational technologies.

And Filipino students who are technologically disadvantaged would gain the most from these instructional resources. Fortunately, some situations in the Philippines look to be progressing. The internet is becoming more widely available across the United States. More kids will have access to quality education as internet connectivity improves. For example, a student in a remote barrio can participate in a virtual class led by teachers from the capital. The story continues, It's important in order to establish technology's effectiveness in addressing the education gap in a country where millions are still unable to pursue a degree. Time, money, and geographical barriers can all be overcome with a single device or a free, reliable Internet connection.

What are our options for dealing with the current educational system?

You must first set your vision if you wish to cope with the 'New Normal' schooling. You must decide what you want to happen or whether you must do something. We must recognize our skills and shortcomings if we are to manage with this scenario.

Here are the things that I did in order to cope with the ‘New Normal’ Education:

Setting my Goals
You must first set your vision if you wish to cope with the 'New Normal' schooling. You must decide what you want to happen or whether you must do something. We must recognize our skills and shortcomings if we are to manage with this scenario. We must assess if we are capable of doing so or whether we choose to continue our education despite the pandemic. Setting your vision will provide you with a clear picture of what you want to accomplish.
Investigate Various Online Platforms
You can explore and use a variety of web tools to handle your online classes. You can get the most out of your Google account. You can use it to contact your professors or classmates via email. You may use Google Calendar to organize your schedule and set up reminders to remind you of pending tasks or class schedules. Google Drive can be used to store and access essential documents. Google Scholar can also be used to find academic publications for your readings and outputs.
Request assistance and advice.
I always message my teachers using the learning management system or group chat whenever I don't grasp a course and ask for help or clarifications. I also asked my teachers about my faults on quizzes and exercises and how I could improve my grade. I'm also questioning my peers about areas about which I require additional information. We must not be reluctant to seek assistance or direction from our instructors, as online classes will only be effective if students and teachers communicate effectively, just as in face-to-face classes. I don't see seeking explanation or assistance as a flaw, but rather as an opportunity to learn.
The learning management system is difficult to navigate during the first month of online classes. I've had issues with alerts of my activity because they don't always appear in my email or on my cellphone. I'm also having trouble adjusting to my class schedule and how it's set up. During the months that followed, I tested and investigated numerous coping methods that I could use to reduce the stress caused by the online lessons.
