Online school is failing


This whole thing is horrible. And I can’t deal with it any longer.It’s too much work on us students, and teachers need to see it from our perspective.My school system realized this, and implemented a system for it. That on fridays, kids wouldn’t be required to go to class and could spend the day getting caught up on assignments. This backfired horribly for students.Instead of helping the students with these issues, teachers assigned more work on these fridays. I now have 20 new assignments, which will take way too damn long to do, especially because the teachers aren’t looking at the questions.I don’t have a mic, or a webcam. We use google meet, so to combat this I use the chat. But the teachers don’t look at the chat, so I’m forced to be clueless on whats going on.The problem arises from the workload, and the setting we’re doing it in.At home; I have to spend all my time with my parents. And as an annoying teen, they get pissed off by having to constantly tell me to get stuff done. Which makes me majorly depressed.I was depressed before covid, but now I have no friends to talk to, and my parent are pushing me down even further and I don’t have the time to get back up again.What happens because of this, is that my motivation is drained. Because we’re doing school at home, it makes it feel like we’re doing homework for 10 hours a day. And I can’t stay motivated for that time period. So I end up with missing assignments and bad grades, and my depression getting worse and worse because my parents are yelling at me saying I’m not good enough.Group work isn’t a help either, most people in my groups don’t talk at all, and won’t help. And sometimes, I can’t attend class for personal reasons. With school at home, me sitting in bed all day doing class is seen as “lazy” by my parents, so they tell me to get up and do chores. So I can’t attend class. When I go to do the groupwork, it’s all already done by my groupmates. Great, right? Of course not. I don’t get any credit because I wasn’t there. Which means I have to do solo, the equivalent of what 10 other people did in 2 hours. That’s nearly 20 hours of work, for me to do solo. For multiple group work assignments. It’s not fair in the slightest. via /r/rant https://ift.tt/36vNP7Y
