The reason behind thriving kids during Remote Learning

In 2020, we were introduced to a new method of learning and teaching, due to a global pandemic - Remote Learning. Students attended classes from the comfort of their
home which redefined the domains of the classroom as well as teaching techniques. A surprising advantage that came from the drastic shift was thriving students during remote learning. Below are a few factors that made this possible:

1. Fluidity in school schedules allows students more choice over their school work. Since they are saving precious productive time, they can approach the work in a relaxed manner. It also makes it easier for them to pursue interests other than academics.
2. Teachers have become more lenient with coursework and grading owing to increased levels of empathy. Teachers have become more accommodating of structures of home learning and pervasive equity issues, resulting in a more stress-free environment.
3. Teachers and students alike are saving precious travel time with remote learning by not waking up to an early alarm clock. This allows them sufficient sleep and rest, resulting in rising levels of productivity and effective stress management.

While learning from the classroom was a great way for students to connect with each other, remote learning is fostering a new wave of confidence among students and teachers alike. The ease of communication and using new learning tools helps students remain attentive in the class.
