Learning finds a way........

Like all the happenings in current times, they all root from the same common problem. THE CORONA VIRUS. The Virus that has managed to make everyone adjust their lives and everything about it. For most of this lockdown most everything had to be shut down bar the essentials and unfortunately schools and educational institutes were one of them that didn't make the final cut.

With restrictions being eased regardless of the number of virus infected people, schools and other educational institutes are slowly beginning their ascend to normality. Now in India at least, they haven't gone and opened up schools yet but they are attempting through online google or zoom classrooms. 

They have been going on for a while now but I have been waiting for me to experience it through either a college or some sort of class. And I have been for roughly the last 2 days. Yes its not the biggest sample size in the world but I would like to report about it before it goes out of "trend".

Aristotle said, "The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet." Something students now feel they have to go through this experience everyday from the "comfort" of their homes. It is a very convenient form of education as it is very efficient and doesn't demand any of the travel. So it does feel like a "WIN" in that regard. Also with this, the Virus is obviously kept at bay as there is no human interaction. 

This pro could also be taken as a con. Human interaction at times is the best teacher just because it feels different and in some aspects better. Also, an educational institute is more than just the education but just a part of it. Its also about the ambience, extra curricular activities and the surrounding. And if that isn't enough, its the fests and annuals days and other celebrations which at this point could only be left to imagination. 

Maybe its just a thing with us people. Always trying to find the bad things of any situation we're put in. Making the worst out of it as some would say. Or maybe we're still a bit away from finding our ideal solution. 

For now, this is the possibly the best solution to a way bigger problem. 

However as this is still a relatively new concept, maybe with time we can only see it get better. More educational companies and corporations start or continue to help making advances to make the learning experience fun yet actually useful. I would give suggestions but if they were that plausible but there are some answers that I don't have.
