Over the next few days Im uploading the full interviews to my GlinkIRL channel ( ua-cam.com/channels/cWCsavcX407gtJUPN8E0Mw.html ). I also co-host the Gush Podcast with Slush ( ua-cam.com/channels/hJT4Jg89AHMyybcXFeKp_A.html ). Planning to make a shorter video soon and later on, trying my hand at planning a 3 part series. You can check out the description for all my socials. Hope you guys have an awesome summer.
Hey, man, the music in this video was fantastic! I loove Earthbound, and some of these covers are my new favorites. What are the names of the songs you used for the video? You've got great taste, dude.
@@boa9557 It's almost like teaching and giving valuable resonate lessons through a cold screen miles away from teachers, friends, and peers is virtually impossile.
My history teacher just taught us with pre-recorded lectures. Literally we’d log into class, do a maybe 3-5 minute review, and then leave class to watch the lectures for the rest of the period. You didn’t even need to watch the lectures cause the answers to the tests were easily available online and were 100% accurate.
same haha, i was in middle school before all this started and now i'm in highschool. it just feels really jarring and i haven't actually learnt any shit
@@custom-r UA-cam is great for context, it's great for seeing points of view. But the lack of peer-review and research citing on many many maaannny videos is terrifying. As well there's "selection bias" so while someone might be really into WWII history let's say- They'll pretty much only focus on that very narrow stream on UA-cam because they are guided by their own self interest. But then lack broadening views of other contexts, where for example colleges will require you to complete "X amount of credits from various streams" in order to graduate so you don't end up being that guy that rambles on about Rommel ad nauseum, but can't tell you who Mao Zedong was.
@@m.a.118 My view is that universities were created in the middle-ages, which is a long time ago and nowadays they provide staff with jobs and also act as a barrier between people and the job market; it is the biggest problem in countries where education is costly but it's a problem everywhere and it results in division where the people who have graduated want to keep the walls up and defend the system because doing so will lessen their competition; it is in the interests of school staff and former graduates to argue that people need degree programs from universities because that provides the staff with a livelihood and it ensures that most people will never be able to try for the jobs that the former graduates are holding even if they could easily do those jobs. Nobody in the middle-ages could have envisioned the internet and how so much knowledge is on our fingertips now or how people living on welfare are more well traveled than adventurers in the 19th century. Now with this said, originally universities only taught a few select subjects like law, philosophy or theology and it is a testament to the archaic nature of the system that theology is still taught in state funded universities in many countries. Over time more and more degrees were added and, if necessary, the degree programs were inflated in size to fit the founding degree programs for symmetry. This is problematic because a smart person could arguably become a teacher in a year instead of five years and many teachers tell you that outright in private. Even if we accept that something like medicine, which is either rightly or wrongly associated with high responsibility, high skill and large amount of knowledge, should be taught the way it is taught now that still does not mean that degrees that people get to be able to break down barriers into public administration or even private sector jobs should be artificially stretched out to last several years and cost people plenty of money as well. There are many degrees which involve zero manual skills; just oral and written presentation. Instead of demanding that people gnash their teeth through five years of essay writing, reading arbitrarily assigned specific books for sources and hoping they luck out and interpret the instructions for their course work correctly and that they will get someone to back up their thesis they could just be given one book or manual which lays out the knowledge they need to fulfill the requirements of vocation X and then these people could go to work and attain the required knowledge using whatever channel they like. Once they have acquired the knowledge they could sit in for an exam lasting anywhere between hours or days. The model or blueprint, if you like, for this kind of learning and qualification is already in existence in at least some countries, where anyone regardless of their background can sit in for a foreign language exam for a small fee and prove their knowledge and skill on their desired level. It is assumed that it takes over 1000 hours of study to become highly proficient in a strange language but it may be more like 500 depending on your use of time, skills and motivation...however long it takes is ultimately up to you; there is no professor lording over you and giving you a failing grade because he or she did not like your looks nor are you anguishing over vague instructions, mandatory class attendance or people making your life hellish in your dorm or school. You don't have to take public transport, cancel hobbies and carry other people's weight in group assignments or follow them around to see if they leave a comment at the last minute that you have to respond to pass the course. There's no mind numbing lectures about stuff appealing to the slowest learner where you are almost falling in asleep only to be alerted halfway through to some snippet of information that you were not privy before.
@@petelee2477 I'm not sure if we're on the same page here but in my country at least you have to pass five years of university to get a master's degree and that includes numerous courses and a thesis; work practice is included in the courses. Theoretically, depending on the institution of higher education, you may be able to waive some courses based on prior work experience or study but it's up to the teacher to decide if they want to cut you any slack. I did not even mention these massive hindrances yet but if you want to study in a uni you might have to spend years just getting in and once you get in you might have to move to another town or even country to get your degree. My argument is that in many cases people should not have to apply to uni at all or pay money for courses; they should be allowed to sit in for an examination (for a fee or not) if they feel that they have the skills or knowledge to apply for a position that requires a certain degree.
The worst part of online learning is the school and teachers assume students have an infinite amount of free time at home. There was more homework, given time was shortened and it stacked up fast. Physical school is good because it is physical, it helps separate school time and "your" time. Back then I didn't own my room nor my own time. The saving grace is I'm 12 grade already and in Vietnam, we only have to stay at home for a few months at a time when a new outbreak happens.
Wait teachers didn't give you too much homework and unreasonable deadlines for anyone with a healthy life back then? What kind of crazy Physical school have you been into?
ur totally right… just because i’m at home my teacher thinks it’s okay to assign like three pages of textbook work, an assignment, and a quiz like every day. when she shares her screen sometimes you can see that like 3/20 ppl have handed it in so obviously it’s not working but she won’t change it. it’s literally destroying my work life balance and it’s not ok :/
The thing is, many students actually _had_ more time, because there was no need to commute to/back from school, no need to prepare as much before going out in the morning etc. But on the other hand, most of that time was spent of fixing shitty connections, broken chat rooms and others internet problems, sometimes dealing with trolls, and most importantly: it was needed for students to relax and unwind after online classes, which were harder to navigate through than stationary ones (lack of social cues, obviously - which was mentioned in the video itself). So in the end it evens out, it's not like everyone had THAT much time for additional assignments.
You feel absolutely no rest even after school is long over, after finishing a problematic assignment, more will take its place in less than the hours you slept
I got so stressed this year I pretty much said "fuck it" and basically threw the entire year. It really got me depressed because I realized pretty early on that there was no way that I could conform to the system and I genuinely contemplated suicide a few times. I would say that I hope that the government would take notice but it's already shown that our country is run by a bunch of out of touch and incompetent idiots
I feel you. That’s exactly how I felt..I hope you are feeling better now and I hope the best for you. Don’t hurt yourself in anyway. You deserve to live. You are a talented being. 🫂
Hope you are doing well currently, things are pretty shitty here in Brazil too, our dumbass president rejected 13 vaccine purchase bids, nobody is giving a damn about the virus and things are just getting worse. God help us all.
@@joaopaul0500 ironically here in the United States people dont want to take the vaccine however are fine with have parties with no maskes and wonder why they got sick.
Same. Except being in university this fucked me over so much. They don’t care if you can’t do online and my GPA and academic career is getting stained.
I just finished this school year. It felt like a total waste of time I didn’t learn anything, and considering I have ADHD it was even harder to focus on actual school so my grades dropped terribly, I don’t know why anyone considers zoom school to be an alternative.
As someone with ADHD. It actually helped a lot. Physical school was sooo strict. Now I can adjust volumes, listen to (instrumental only lmao) music. I can ACTUALLY listen to what the teacher says since I’m using headphones, so I won’t get distracted listening to birds chirp, or tuning in to someone else’s conversation - OH AND THAT. Everyone being quiet WORKS SOOOOO WELL.
@@AsteroSloth That’s good to hear for you! I’m currently using FLVS Flex which is a flexible version of online school and thankfully has a healthier number of assignments to turn in depending on the pacing (3 assignments per class per week in a 16-18 week pacing for one semester). Even though it isn’t perfect in the sense of explaining every little thing, it does work better for me. I just hope online learning will adapt to what people want because a lot of people struggle with Zoom and I agree with what they say in their experiences. And @concon, I’m sorry that online school has been an awful journey for you, I hope when a few years pass by that you’ll eventually find your way in the world ❤️.
@@prakesh2904 I’d rather be sick than lose an entire year of my life that effects my entire generation. Not saying covid isn’t bad just being healthy and a teenager compared to older people it might suck but less of a risk you feel me
I absolutely loved online classes because they allowed for me to exploit the already horribly made school system and create free time for myself where I could pursue my personal passions and goals.
It's great or self-starters. I'm the same way...much more productive when I'm able to go at my pace. I think we're in the minority though. Most people need their hands held.
I actually graduated through zoom, my entire graduation ceremony was a five minute skype call with my teacher and then it was over. I had a full suit on and a glass of wine sitting in front of my computer. The silence when the call ended was just absolutely deafening, I have never felt as incomplete as I did sitting there realizing three years of stress and hard work amounted only to that. Online school messed with pretty much everyone I know man it’s so soul draining.
I am so sorry. I do not know how to console you, but I sure hope the rest of your life is everything you're hoping for. Online school fucking destroyed me as well. I just moved across the country 6 months ago and still literally don't know anyone. Going to have to spend the summer in my own company, but hey maybe it won't be all that bad. Hoping that all this shit will make us stronger somehow. Good luck out there fellow human
@@Kay-io5gx Whole world is a bit of a shit show right now, hang in there! Having to spend some time with yourself might prove useful and good for self growth, I wish you all the best and I’m convinced you can do it!
Man, that's really sad. They didn't even try to make an effort. I understand why they don't do graduation ceremonies at a lot of schools, but damn. I didn't even bother going to whatever zoom graduation meeting my community college had back in 2020. I just got my diploma delivered through the mail, and my parents made me try on my old gown from my high school graduation for pictures. Lmao Even receiving my acceptance letter for the university I'm now going to felt underwhelming. It's like my excitement for school has been sucked out of me. I don't know if you can relate. I mean, I'm still kind of happy that I got accepted, but it doesn't feel as exciting as I imagined it would've felt before.
things are looking grim. schools really are worthless atm. kids today have potential to learn so much from the internet, but these school systems are broken.
I'm Italian, and my experience with online education is terrible. The teachers think that we like being in front of a screen, so they're charging us with even more online homework. There was a period during which I was in front of my computer for at least 10/12 hours every single day, even on our free days. Homework was just too much, and during this summer they gave us lots of book to read, and, even if reading is one of my favourite activities, I just wanted to re-live my social life during the only three months of freedom that we're allowed to live. I now fear going to school. I want my life back.
Ciao, ti capisco benissimo, stessa cosa anche per me. Ora sono all'università ma praticamente a causa di una pessima educazione scolastica e per molti professori che non sapevano gestire bene la situazione ci siamo ritrovati tutti con scarsa preparazione per il futuro. Non so come sia da te
@@emanuelecerri6502 quale liceo frequenti? Guarda, almeno se sei al classico o allo scientifico va bene, io sono stato a uno delle scienze umane, davvero terribile e che non ti lascia niente di base per l'università
@@gabry94ita42 scientifico, non pensare che sia meglio però. Si fanno più materie umanistiche che scientifiche, non servono a nulla per quello che una persona che va allo scientifico vorrebbe fare all'università
Not the only one, dude. I had a fucking horrid experience learning both physics and calculus with online learning. I had to watch a slew of videos on UA-cam and Khan Academy to just scrape above failing both classes
My school has been going online for an entire year until it finally openned 2 weeks ago. I have learned next to nothing, my grades dropped, I pretty much forgot everything from my french class and so on. The motivation and desire to learn just wasn't there during remote learning. It felt so surreal, useless and unfulfilling. Any psychological problems I had became much worse then before and I almost failed school completely because I couldn't force myself to even do the assignments. I was constantly tired, drained, addicted to video games... Before online school I was fine I was a normal student. It's like the whole year wasn't real, time flew by and I was stuck in an endless loop. I was also more anxious, having pannic attacks while going grocery shopping because seeing people didnt feel real. I haven't had this shit happening before. It felt like everything lacked reason. Its over now, things are better now but its like a whole year of my life got taken away from me. Online learning is terrible and in no way a substitute to normal school
My friend has to go to summer school because he failed online class. Thing is I saw the whole thing and his teachers were pretty biased against him, sad how it happened
Holy Shit mate, same. Physical was great for me. Grade 11 (Gen. Average was 90-some. For comparison). But this 12th grade. I nearly didn't graduate because of INCs and ended up a lot of 70s. I'm lazy that's a fact, but this just amplified it by 20.
As a 2nd year college student, I totally relate to literally everything that you're saying. Hopefully things will get better as we shift back to in person
yeah fall-winter 2019 i was really improving mentally and finally started feeling like i was getting a footing on life and was excited for the future. then covid hit and im just slowly going more downhill, went from straight As to Fs. feeling really hopeless most of my days now but maybe soon we can make the steps to get back to where we were. RIP high school senior year
School feels like it ended in March 2020; now we’re just living in some kind of nightmare. I’ve seen a different side of my teachers this year. They’ve become angry at us and the system and students have stopped caring altogether Edit: everyone is very happy to be back in school full time and the general attitude is that everyone is thankful we’re not online, major improvement from last year
At least I can say that my teachers and fellow classmates were nice about it. Sure, half the students didn't care about the work, but even then people would still crack jokes in the chat and all that. So that's at least _something_
The social aspect in school is arguably more important to kids than actually learning material, the amazing and horrendous experiences, the friendships you develop and the memories you create are so, so important to your development and quality of life. Just imagine in 5 years time being with your friends at a party and reminiscing “mate, remember when x and y at school, that was the funniest shit”, that’s completely impossible with online school, it’s sad.
well clearly what you said is just wrong, for example if we return to normal life and online learning is still a thing, we would had a different kind of school, a place where you would only do physical stuff, because all of the hassle that like show up on time, is just an annoyance for traditional school, like what if it's take a kid 1-2 hour to get to the school and he or she would had to wake up sooner than their friend 1-2 hour just to go to school thus their sleep time reduced, while if the kid can attend online class they only need to wake up on time turn on their phone or pc and done. Then another aspect of online learning is even better, if the student dont had time to attend the class, they only need to record the lesson, and if they dont understand that, they could ask the teacher later, and they only need to make sure that their grade would be fine at the test, so saving both time for the teacher and student since they dont need be happen at the same time. And since you dont need class any more the school would be transformed into a more sport oriented school, that support more sport and during that time the kid can just show up and only need to work their body out with all their youth energy and then they came home, having already socialized, and energy spent so the result is a more fit and well socialized kid. So yeah I feel like you are only clinging on the idea of "traditional school" is because you having thinking through how to work with technology.
@@blankmoment2 haha 'clearly what you said was just wrong' the fact that hundreds of people agree with me is clearly indicative of the opposite but i take it english is your second language so whatever. In this fictitious situation, i would think that this child should move to a damn closer school ! and if their nearest school is still 2 hours away well I somewhat doubt they would have the internet capabilities necessary to attend online school lol. i dont even know why you're disagreeing with me you obviously agree with me that normal school is still important? i think it's fair to say for the vast majority of students that online school is worse in every aspect, from engagement to the content to the value for money their parents pay for to, and most crucially, the fun social side of school
I’ve had teachers make the tests overly hard to “compensate” for those who may be cheating since it’s online, average for each test went to the 30s and 40s. It was ridiculous.
All it did was FORCE students to cheat, when I got multiple 1 hour assignments from math PER DAY, and all I had to do was look up the worksheet name and save 3 hours of work. Or I could spend 3 hours doing repetitive work that was inflated to make it “harder” to cheat.
@@theslamjamfrincisco2820 what do you mean look up the worksheet name? The teachers are giving you "open source" homework and tests etc and arent even making their own for their classes? What the fuck are we paying these idiots for?
In a perfect world, you'd complain about the cheaters that caused the problem rather than those that only wanted to make sure you're learning, because you know, it's their job.
@@quisquiliarum7710 😎👌 Aight so Imma edit this comment so ppl will hopefully see: Ik it's always been this way,but it's showing now more than ever,the more y'all spam with with that I'll just reply the same thing like a bot lol Edit 2: CAN YALL READ THE REPLIES BEFORE GOING "It's always been that way"
Honestly online school was one of the worst concepts created and was just a half assed attempt to keep the industry going , i learned nothing and i used to be a straight A+ student and now i am in extended school to make up for classes i failed, you dont just become dumb in a matter of months, i have become more and more depressed and the only thing that makes me happy is my mom , my puppy , making shitty videos for my channel , playing games, and formula 1 with the bois which due to divorce visitation only happens for 2.5 days every 2 - 3 weeks , it ruined my realtionship with my dad because him being a old african man means he doesn't understand the struggles of modern schooling , can you believe he thinks i have it easy doing online school, i never liked the kids in my school because most seemed like self absorbed assholes but damn i want to go back
Exactly same for me in terms of online school performance and depression from it. I barely scrapped by and it was so stressful I thought about ending it a few times.
man this is one of the I hate the most about online classes. i don't hate adults, but they never seem to see the faults and troubles of online learning because they think "we have it easy". Really makes it hard to tell them your problems and frustrations, and sometimes, they even straight up tell you to "suck it up and remember that 'you are luckier than most kids out there'". Yes I am lucky, I know that. But just because I am able to eat three times a day doesn't mean our entire generation's problems should be easily brushed off as "invalid" or brought on by our being "entitled" or whatever.
Dude I feel you so much in almost everything, it's just so depressing to bust your ass in a system that is working even less than the previous, and to drift away from everyone, and finding happiness in F1, pets, etc Also my parents think this is easier, but learning like this is like learning to play guitar with videos and without actually touching a guitar
i just said fuck it half way through the year, i already knew all the shit and it wasant worth the sress or work, if i fail ill honestly dropout and just teach myself how to do something that i actually like
This has been my worst year ever, my grades drastically dropped, i stopped talking to friends who i talked to daily, i have 0 motivation at all and can't adapt to online school at all, i miss going to class where i know how much time I'll have for myself and school seeing the stupid shit my classmate's did and also bickering with my friend's, i have no fucking clue if I'll even pass at the start i thought it was going to be easier but for me it's been much much harder
I may hate school but I thank the rigid structure of it, I know that’s going to happen, when, and how long it will last. And when school was over you went home and you were, well, HOME. That separation just wasn’t there this/last year
In university I have to admit that finding "new friends" online is really hard because nobody talks to each other in private, everybody is always in classes and there is no "social space" without any college staff.
the only place where people interact in my school is a whatsapp group, we have IRL school but you can't socialize go outside of your class eat drink its basically jail with 30 minute lessons
despite us not being allowed to socialize, kids talk in class when the teacher doesn't pay attention, also its now like 13 kids per class room maximum, they allowed phones in class to check on your covid status via an app, but kids end up using their phones to check social media and to take photos.
Go out and meet people. Fuck these lockdowns man.Just go do what you want to do. N o one is going to say shit to you that has any actual authority and if someone says anything tell them to piss the fuck off. The karens are all bark and no bite
Honestly the problem isn’t JUST with online school, it’s with the entire school system teachers are uninspired, staff doesn’t get payed enough to care about the students, the people in charge only care about their image, and the kids don’t feel motivation to put in effort because the whole system is a joke at least in America
There's also the fact that some (ehem, many, in fact) schools dish out substandard modules and lessons. Oh, and I won't forget to take into account the shitty Internet connection in my country too.
>"because of social isolation, many students switched to meeting new people online" well fuck me i guess, cause i'm too shy to even talk to other people in games
@@Jocko_Homo yeah, it's kind of impossible to make friends online. My old friend group spilt up right before quarantine started, so I've gone through this entire year with basically only one friend whom I've kept in contact with. I'm really grateful for him, because without any friends, I feel like this would've been much harder.
Online school is tough. I thought it’d be easier for me, considering how I always avoid interacting with people, but now I’ve just been procrastinating and cheating through all my assignments, I know it’s not a valid excuse but still. The school year ends in a few days and I’m trying to complete as many assignments as possible so I can get my grades up. But it seems so pointless now.
Finally someone who understands me. Seriously schools out here treating me like an adult. Adults are doing the same boring shit as us, but there is one significant difference. THEY GET PAID FOR IT. They really expect me to sit at an computer and work with the attention span of an adult without giving me any motivation to do so? If adults sit at the computer for long they get paid. What do we get? A letter. I can’t do the work the way you want me to if I’m not motivated. I’m not saying we should get paid for going to school I’m saying that when you don’t give people proper motivation to do something you won’t get proper work done in return. I got off online school with A’s B’s and anxiety galore. Even during summer I feel anxious about school work. WHEN THERE IS NO SCHOOL WORK. This shit messed me up so bad- 😭
@@soknyyy1536 i just had my 4th final today and it was irl i still have 6 more to go, it was so fucking frustrating cause the entire year was online then boom 2 weeks prior to the exams they released the news that they’re in person, so basically come or fail.
And don't forget the "switch on your cameras" like every 10 seconds. They think we switch off our cameras because we're doing something else but we're just insecure lol.
I’m not in school anymore but I imagine for you guys turning on cameras is like literally letting people into your room and have a look at your life. That thought is terrifying.
@@Karina4News I´m a teacher myself (english teacher) and I have NEVER turned on the camera hell no, that just feels so uncomfortable. This comment is super spot on
14:47 exactly this. Missing assignments and getting low grades didn't make me want to do better, it just made me feel like shit, until I eventually just stopped doing any work.
God, what a perfect quote. You really captured the problem a good chunk of people are dealing with. The struggle is this: there’s a group of people who are motivated by struggle and friction, but, there’s a whole array of people who are crushed by added discouragement. I really hope one day this kind of challenge is actually addressed, instead of just ignored and left to fester.
this was the first year my grades have been consistently shit through and through-- my parents were constantly on my ass about how i was “lazy” n junk. they just don’t understand how draining this year was; my mental health hasn’t been this shit in a while.
TW mental health, suicide. Same here. Ive always had problems with mental health, but jesus this made it so much worse. I already have low self esteem, so logging onto classes and hearing im missing 40 assignments, then getting yelled at by my parents, getting yelled at online, there have been a lot of times where ive been scared of seriously hurting myself this year.
I resonated with what one of the students said where you felt that if you messes up once, it felt impossible to catch up and at one point you just gave up
missed a whole section in english literature because i missed a single lesson from stress and fell right into a depressive state once i realised catching up would be impossible
Warning: long tangent So my small Christian school shut down (I'm not a Christian btw) and I was forced to do homeschooling this year with NO help from my teachers I had to check everything and pretty much be the teacher and the student it has affected my physical and mental health so bad and this whole year I've cheated on all the test (I could pass without cheating I just didn't want to put more stress on myself) and now I'm a little bit behind and having to do an end of the year test (which is stupid because my state said the schools didn't have too but I have to do bullshit right? My ma is trying to fix that issue) anyways all in all this year has sucked as and getting motivation is so God damn hard. Sorry for ranting
Sometimes online school feels so demotivating that I don't even bother with cheating, not because I don't want to, but because I don't even have enough energy to put an effort for school, even if it's cheating.
When my school switched to online, I tried to do everything legit for a few weeks. That means not doing anything else during class and not doing anything non educational during school. That didn't last long. The zoom meetings just felt like an video that you couldn't skip through. You couldn't go back 15 seconds if you didn't understand something or skip ahead 15 seconds if you already understand the current topic. It all felt like a giant waste of time. I found myself learning more effectively using my own time and using resources I find on the internet. As the days went on, I started to stop paying attention during class. Instead I would just chat and play games with friends to make up for the lost in person socialization because of the lockdown. I would just search up answers in order to understand every single lesson and to complete homework. People would often cheat on tests because they just couldn't be bothered to learn the lessons, me included. It's been hard on the teachers as well. As the year went by, everyone could see the lockdown taking its toll on the teachers. Adding on the stress of trying to teach us students through the online platform and seeing such diminishing results, their mental health also aren't doing too good.
I feel the same. Its just hard when with 2 clicks you can just go on youtube for hours. And when doing a test you can look up all your answers. I felt motivted to get through school because I wanted good grades and I wanted the weekend to come faster. With online school all it takes to get good grades is google, and instead of being forced to go through class I can just take a 5 hour break.
Bloody heck this is just fcking true to the core. Teachers can't really teach well in Online class. might as well just search stuff in youtube ... tbh I also skipped most of them too.. cuz in the end I realized I'd just be searching in the internet for that topic anyway...
@@thatonenigeriansformula lmao for a second there i was confused why you would mention your sexual prefernace but turns out you were talking about your grades
I felt so bad that I didn't pass my grade, and had to repeat the year, but after this video, I know I'm not alone. Thank you, it makes me feel so much better knowing I'm not the only one who struggled.
Right there with you. I graduated at my local cc last summer and transferred to a university awhile after and my GPA tanked severely because of online learning and a combination of different factors. I barely passed calculus 1 in my last semester there because online learning was hard and ik my teacher went easy on us because of the pandemic.
The best part of school was always those random out of nowhere events that just happened cuz you and your friends and classmates were just bored and wanted to do something fun. In online school nothing that spontaneous could ever happen so it sucks in a way I think most people might not think about.
yeah, in-person school is fun with friends. shit just happens sometimes and it's funny as hell. yesterday me and my friend were playing FnF on the school computers, and the other movies by the creators of Birdemic was mentioned, and he cried for like 5 minutes and said "I THOUGHT THEY STOPPED AFTER THEY ANNOUNCED THE THIRD ONE!"
Same, only I graduated in 2018. I hate taking college classes online, but I'm forever grateful I got to at least experience all 4 years of high school before 2020. It wasn't amazing or anything, but at least I was able to gain experiences and memories that I wouldn't have gotten if I had been a few years younger.
I'm so burned out due to remote learning. Used to be a scholarship student back when it was stationary, and now the only thing i think about is how to pass the next class with minimum time and effort.
@@mwanikimwaniki6801 Oh yeah, definitely my friend's doing Robotics but couldn't do anything because it was all online. Are you in high school or college?
High-school Class of 2020 here, our year was cut short at the very beginning of the pandemic. We went on spring break, and never returned. We did online classes through teams and it was a DISASTER. My family was in a horrible financial state from the pandemic so I ended up working full time to help make ends meet while also doing online class. Of course the result of this was me going fucking insane, I worked at Walmart with an abnormal schedule to get all the hours available, which meant that literally every single day for nearly 6 months I was getting up and going to bed at completely different times. I would work 7am-3pm one day, the next 11am-7pm, the day after that 3pm-11pm, then another 11am-7pm, then a 7am-3pm...... it was ruthless. I gave up doing a majority of schoolwork beyond getting 50% because I just couldn't handle it anymore, they assumed because of the pandemic that everyone was just at home all the time doing nothing so they gave students MORE work than they normally would. I hated every aspect of my life, my job was TERRIBLE, school was literally impossible, I got completely fucked. It was mentally, physically and emotionally draining. I think working retail through the bulk of the pandemic really killed me on the inside, I can't really put into words how abusive of an environment it was. a few months after grad I couldn't even remember what classes I was in. completely worthless. I got literally NOTHING from school. I cannot think of a single life skill it has taught me. It makes me angry to think that I used to actually try pretty hard at it, I was an honour roll student, and for what? wasted effort.
Man this whole thing is bringing to the front of my mind something that I’ve been kind of repressing - that we are all becoming socially starved. There are so few opportunities for organic traditional social interaction. We all exist to each other from a distance. If we disappear, it’s irrelevant because we don’t really exist to each other to begin with in a way. I miss feeling like a living human being.
I... don't think this is quite true. Let me try to expose my viewpoint, and apologize in advance if i misunderstood your words. Friendships (or any social bond) at a distance are, obviously, not quite the same as the "organic traditional social interaction" you are describing. Sure, you don't care if some dude on the internet just disappears from the fase of the earth, but that extends to people you actually meet in real life for barely any time. Would you deeply feel the loss of that one retail worker in some grocery store you went to once in your life and never came back? Probably not, and that has happened since there was enough people in the world for you to not know every single soul in your little village. It's not a new phenomenon. We have always existed to eachother from a distance, but now it's just easier to do so, specially with a pandemic that restricts our opportunities to meet people in person: which seems to be the only way some people are able to conceptualize real, caring relationships. But, i don't think that "lack of traditional social interactions" and "distanced relationships" are one and the same. You can have a relationship with someone via letters or emails or texts, and still feel the loss of that person you've never really met face-to-face more than someone you have met in person (ie, that retail worker from my example). Sure, if you have met them in person the loss may be way more deep and meaningful, because existing in the same space as someone has way more opportunities of making a bigger impact in their life- but that still doesnt make the letters you received and wrote back any less valuable as a social interaction, or any less meaningful. Perhaps i feel inclined to say this because i have lost a friend dear to me and felt that loss very deeply, even if i have only met them via a funky little app on the internet and we didn't even know eachother's actual name. Tldr; i think that how deep and impactful social interactions can be has nothing to do with how "organic" or "traditional" they are, and everything to do with the people involved and their actual bond. Sorry for the rant!
Honestly, you couldn’t have said that better. I feel like all this technology is making us too comfortable in our own little bubble that pure human connection are becoming rare. Don’t get me wrong I’m not hating on technology, but I think we are too reliant on technology. This is just depressing. Over use of technology is the reason why this current generation (my generation gen z) has the highest mental illness rates.
Sophomore year was genuinely one of the worst years of my life. Decided to stay online while most of my friends were in person, s/o and I saw each other way less, and of course before my final day of exams (my final day of school) my dad tested positive and my 10 year old sister hasn’t looked this bad ever. This isn’t even the worst of anyone’s situation, and so I’m just wishing the best for anyone who’s school year was made difficult this year
"Acedemic dishonesty" they would tell me, as most of my professors did exactly 0 lectures throughout the entire semester. If I write an essay that applies to two or more assignments, I should be able to use it for both. Online college is a sham, and I hate every minute of it. Just four years and then you can get a good job, my parents say. Four years. YEARS. Just because they spent most of college partying, they think everyone has a great time in school. Online college affords no such social opportunities. I have had just about all I can handle, and I take solace in knowing that my experience is one shared by many.
If it makes you feel any better: I did STEM in-person a couple years before the pandemic and had the same problem. In game development class, there was literally 80 hours of homework a week; and I took data structures the same semester... all while working part-time. Some degrees are just fucking rough. I can confirm, though, that things are a lot better now that I'm out, and the sacrifices made in college allowed for things to get better. But we could have all just done a trade, and gotten careers shaping metal or crafting cabinetry. Actually using our bodies, as well as our minds. My job is sitting on a couch all day, every day. Well-compensated, comfortable; but not enough.
At the beginning of online, I was doing great and was paying attention. Then after a few months I start losing motivation to work hard, I feel like it won’t ever mater to me. I’ve since been not paying attention, barley getting out of failing grades, and always turning in late work. At this point I’m kind of lucky I haven’t failed this year at all, hell I haven’t even failed a single class. Online learning can be great, if done right. But if done wrong, it can destroy a persons motivation to work hard and make ‘learning’ something almost impossible.
(In Brazillian) When the pandemic started, i got weeks without school, then pre recorded videos and finally online classes. 2021 arrived, and my classes was jumping from: - a totally online (students and teachers online) - a hybrid (students online and the teachers in a empty classroom) - a "real" hybrid (students and teachers in the class and some students online) The hybrid and "real" hybrid classes are hell
@@Calypso504 yes! The teachers in my school pay literally no attention to the online students so if you get a bit behind, your screwed. They move around, and get so far away from their terrible quality mic that all you can hear is disjointed staticky chatter, and the in-person students chattering makes an awful staticky garble of nonsense that makes it very hard to concentrate. Half of the teachers don’t know anything about online, to the point where they will just completely forget to join the zoom, or start the google meet. Subs are the absolute worst, usually they’re muted, don’t turn the mic on, or join a half hour late. Also, screw seeing anything, cause most of them don’t bother to check if their cameras are actually pointing at the thing you need to be seeing, or if they’re just pointing at a wall. They assign a ton of work, and barley give us any info on it, and say to “not be afraid to ask questions”. Then they proceed to not answer literally any of your questions. If there are a lot of people in the call, you will randomly be marked unexcused absent. I was almost marked truent because of how much it happened. If you don’t immediately switch from whatever thing you’re working on and turn on your microphone and camera, or you don’t answer a usually quite hard question in 0.5 seconds, or you take 5 SECONDS to type an answer into chat because your microphone doesent work properly, you will be marked non responsive, which is also counted towards being marked truent. Fun. If you are slightly tardy because your previous teacher never excused the class (which happens a lot because usually we aren’t checking the time every 5 minutes) then according to them, you never showed up yo class, period. I have a nerve disorder which makes stress and anxiety signals be falsely transmitted to my brain as pain signals, so you can imagine that it feels like I’m constantly being stabbed. School only affects kids positively though, right!!!!! Oh, and one of the other affects of this disorder is chronic fatigue. My parents thought I had mono, because I was sleeping 18 hours a day. I wish I had mono, because that gets better after a few months. I fall asleep in class constantly, and being online reeeeeeallly doesn’t help that. Oh, and did i mention I literally can’t do school in person cause yay fun, apparently this thing also weakens the immune system, and amplifies the affect of illnesses, as it thinks that they are also pain signals so it would be even more excruciating of pain! !! !!,!! Yay my life is so great. I’m so sick of being told that these are “the best years of my life”. They aren’t. The best years of my life was when I was 10, and I hadn’t developed my nerve disorder, and I had friends. When I could be myself around people. When I could literally talk without feeling like I was being judged. When I didn’t have severe anxiety and depression, and the teachers actually cared about my well being. My life was ruined by moving schools, the pandemic, and my own mental health, it sucks, I feel like my “fun teenage years” have been robbed from me. I just wish things were simple again. Sorry if this was a lot, I just really needed to rant and get some things off my chest.
Happened to me last year and is happening again as my country goes back to online school. The first weeks were extremely easy and I was very organized and then I just got overwhelmed and dropped everything for months. Literally impossible to concentrate and I was so stressed that I felt ill for half a year.
It irks me that some education heads are trying to invade kids' free time as much as possible, and online classes helps with that. Now I'm hearing they're taking away snow days. A day I'm not familiar with, but apparently important relax times for kids in the countries that got them. People need their free hours. There's a reason Finland got their stuff working.
When covid ends and we all go back to school for real, all English teachers will make us write a essay on how covid affected us and everyone will hate it.
I had to drop out of college cause I couldn’t handle online classes. I tend to pay attention in a physical class than a zoom class. Having my room where I sleep and goof off also become a classroom where work needs to be done was frustrating…
Same, but also who the fuck learns how to become a fully qualified electrician in online classes for 3 hours a week with mobile data on a phone, good thing I fucked the whole course off to drop acid daily and ruin my own life on my own terms. Also my online classroom account somehow linked to my google account which was connected to my UA-cam account so I was attending lessons and submitting coursework as The CEO Of Crack Cocaine And Amphetamines and I tried to play it off like aha that’s funny, it’s not a big deal, but it was since all the online stuff is monitored and made them look like bad teachers who couldn’t control or teach students threatening their jobs. Systems great I hope my children attended online school and learn how to communicate with a human by age 40.
I work from home for my job and i live in a studio with luckily a kitchen separate (where i made my office). Its really hard to get into work mode when you are in a space thats men for sleep and relaxation. Like its mentally hard to separate that. If you work in bed youre brain is gonna be like "sleep time?" and you wont end up working properly
Lads I'm gonna be honest my social skills got fucked up this year and now I'm moving to a completely different place, and now I'm stuck here thinking "well shit"
I'm going to be honest, I cheated. I knew I would learn nothing so I gave up and cheated because it was simply useless. I feel like the school system failed me, and I get As and Bs. There is also no motivation at all and it shows how flawed our system really is.
Lol just cheat, what people see are just grades anyway. You get a F without cheating, will people compliment you and congratulate you? No you will be fucked over by teachers and parent. But if you get an A by cheating and dint get noticed, people will congratulate and shake your hands. Universities just look at your grades anyway. If you can cheat just cheat, if its something you can't get away with then don't.
@@bloatatoeminis5976 facts. There’s no special achievement or reward for not cheating and getting through school on your own merit so why put in the extra effort, work smarter not harder. I almost feel like that’s on purpose to teach kids how the world really works past highschool
For a math course, I was required to install a proctor software onto my laptop. They demanded that I put my personal ID on display, show the entire room that I was sitting in for exams, and give them the ability to control/access my laptop remotely. Under what circumstances would anyone EVER be okay with that.
Did you require that they provide you the laptop since you didn't want to install software you're not comfortable with on your own laptop? You could also say "Aww sorry, I'm running Linux, that software won't work".
I had to do the same thing when taking placement tests for my university, they ran a batch script upon me connecting to make sure I wasn’t using a virtual machine. Then when I showed my room, they were telling me to separate each of my blankets, and to take my pillows off. Like if I was hiding something in there. They didn’t have anything in terms of eye tracking, since they were recording the entire thing.
I'm a med student and can safely say online school has been pure pain like how are we supposed to do things like CPR with a powerpoint presentation only
Shit school, same thing with my online classes in working from heights training. Isn't ironic I'm learning about spot checks and fall procedures off of 3 story buildings or higher being 6ft underground in a basement, lol! How is someone who needs safety training going to properly do it right, through a damn screen.
As a usually straight A's, high scoring student, this year has been incredibly challenging for me. Both because of the disorganization and the effect that isolation has had on my mental health. I honestly don't feel like I actually learned anything- I was just relearning old stuff from last year and blindly forcing my way through lessons while praying that my hours of studying would be worth it.
Same. I had a 4.0 GPA but in online examinations everybody started cheating. It got really bad, people who were failing previous courses were topping the class. They had to revise the grading system and as a result I will lose my scholarship this year.
same, used to always top my classes, my grades are still reasonably good but everyone else's is just better, cuz well everyone's cheating, im pissed but hey there's nothing i can do about it. We'll get through this together brothers
And then boomers tell you to shut up bcus we have technology even though that makes it worse since we get addicted to it and how their time was so much harder,we're so weak etc,etc
I could’ve been born in a time where sword fighting is a sport(and I’m not talking about fencing) and it was at least more popular than golf. Nope, computer sadness
Our generation is fucked. We're literally so far behind, but with so much unused potential. Even as an Introvert, I'm begging for physical school. For the first time I want to talk to people and my teachers. I was already a bit bad at managing my time, and going to school helped me out. I went from having B's to straight up failing things I know. Edit: Some other bullshit I'll add. I'm currently going to a community college. Not only do you have to pay for the usual stuff like classes and tuition. They also want you to pay a membership to a third party website just to turn in homework. No pay, no grade.
Hey keeys, idk if you remember from Fire Emblem and SMT comment sections but, It is the same for me. I wouldn't say i am an introvert but, more than ever, I have a desire for companionship and friendship. I am blessed to have good friends and family but, it really isn't the same. Plus, we are just being used. The world and society is hellbent on beating us down by making us weaker and less of free thinkers. I wasn't going anywhere with any of this besides "it sucks."
@@-lord1754 Yeah I remember you, I just forgot what video lol. Yeah I'd have to agree with you. I mean I wouldn't say I never wanted to have social interaction, I just don't thrive off of it as much. But these times really make me want to just go and talk to people without bs.
I kinda got in a cycle of wake up, log onto zoom classes, mute that, log onto whatever video game I wanted to play, alternate between gaming and homework, and then log out of zoom classes. After "school" I would then do homework and go to sleep. I was either miserable and kinda scared of myself, or euphoric while immersing myself in games or TV shows. Those ~9 months felt unreal.
The same with me, until maybe the last few months, for the first months I was excersising and shit but I just lost all motivation during the second lockdown in the uk
@@polkka7797 pretty much me. I started reading a lot like 10 to 12 hours a day, finished a bunch of book series, worst thing is i have online lectures which are about 2 hours long, for one of my courses however theyre 4 to 6 hours, needless to say ive checked out by the end of the first half hour.
I would substitute school with video essayists and people with extremely different views from mine on youtube or whatever and it's given me a much more artistic mind imo School made me feel like everything underneath me was crumbling and the years of school i did before highschool didn't build to anything I felt like i knew I'd be homeless and alone with mountains of debt cuz my parents would force me into college I ended up hating everyone from my school I wanted to get out so badly Id also substituted school with discord I never really had friends in real life ever I was really happy too So it made no sense to devote any more energy to a system that causes me only dread and hatred and dehumanization Idk im kinda passionate about this I know several people who deliberately sabotage their school year to seek the warmth and comfort of escape I'm one if em
I mean do you really expect people to watch an old, boring teacher read word for word off their power points that I can find on their website anyways- but in the end its all on chegg and quizlet so why even read/listen to notes
@@SportsReplays you clearly haven’t looked hard enough, I’ve been cheating with quizlet since 9th grade and you a. Look up the name of the assigment b.enter a question in the exam into google and add “quizlet” after or c.find the unit standard (Lifepac is the most common;at least online)
the point is we dont need education, to live life, I personally think anything above 9th-10th grade is just a waste of time, because tell me, when will you ever need to use sin cos tan log etc. when y=mx+b works miracles or sin cos and tan for trigonometry when you can just use a^2+b^2=c^2, or in English's case, can you understand all of this fairly clearly? then english doesnt matter above 9-10th grade either, because my writing skill hasn't changed one bit since 9th. also the fact 8 hours in basically prison doing nothing, with the unabillity to socialize with people because i don't like socializing irl, it makes me really uncomfortable
@@beansfebreeze I agree. And while you could in theory learn everything from the internet, let’s be honest, someone who couldn’t keep up with learning in school won’t usually have the drive and internal motivation to learn by themselves. Some kids just don’t have an interest in learning, and even if there’s something they’d actually want to learn they don’t know *how* to learn.
I'm gonna be honest. I've only learned a couple useful things in my classes this year. Teachers are too strained and overburdened to teach good, consistent lessons. Most student's are uninterested in school. People that I've talked too compare it to a 9-5 job than school. All of the interesting parts about highschool, field trips, events, football games, pep-rallys, ect have been stripped away because of covid. And your just left with work. Baron, and nothing in-between. It doesn't help that half of the student's aren't actually participating and class. And most districts are just picking their noses making half-assed decisions that don't really benefit anyone or make sense. A shitty situation made worse by bad management and overbearing student's and teachers. essentially.
Same here. The fact that our activities were broader and more engaging last year turned into a hauling unmemorable lump of coal. Christmas performance was supposed to be the greatest ever in our school's history but turned down to shite because our principal was to damn busy to sign the papers. Oh, and things gets worse by the time I got back home here. There's only one more week, but after 2 weeks learning like this, the school gave us the exact opposite thing they promised: screen time.
i have haven't been able to learn anything you get no special attention if you don't know something you cant really ask them to help isn't that the point of education? to learn from your mistakes.
Honestly I don’t really have a problem with the learning aspect of online school, in fact my grades are better than they would be in regular classes, but man I am sooo glad it’s over. My grades have been good, yes, but online school is SUPER taxing. My social life is nonexistent. I have never seen my classmates outside of brief glimpses, and know nothing of their personalities. So much for making friends, then.
Oh yeah the fact that online school is just raw school in its laziest most depressive state doesn't help LMAO field trips, dances, and sports games were the shit. Actually most of them weren't that great but at least I had friends to complain and make fun of it with. I haven't even talked with a person my age in-person in just over 6 months as I just moved and know nobody. I feel so damn alone.
I had to do more work actually because the borders of when it's school time and when it's free time vanished. Teachers did more lessons than allowed, did them in our pauses, after or before our schooltime. They used the digital homework system to request work for under normal circumstances impossible times. Everything is documented, every little flaw saved and every moments of procrastination gets back at you heavily affecting your grades. I don't really want to blame our teachers here, they did a good job in a new situation, just lacking the ability to understand certain consequences in the cyberspace. This is a general problem with online school.
The only things I did in the pandemic was to "attend" online classes, sleep, play video games, and a whole lotta self-reflecting. I had so much free time to think about myself that I realized how irreversibly fucked I am. I don't want to keep going and I don't have any motivation to. I've stopped enjoying any sort of... well, anything. I am now a husk of my former self, without emotion, keeping on just for the sake of keeping on. I don't want to do this anymore. I wish I could go back to being 7 years old. Edit: I've always had a rough life since I was born. It might've not looked like that on the outside, but I've had so many issues and difficulties before and after moving to a new city. Divorced parents, rough school life, no friends, you name it. So much shit piling up on my mental health. This got severely amplified once I moved to another city. I'm a dumbass and I didn't realize things until it got out of my control, hence, "irreversibly fucked". Things have gotten to the point of no return. The pandemic and the online school was just the last straw. To whoever is reading this, suicide is never the answer. You can get through whatever hurdle you're facing with help from the ones who love you, from the people that care. I wasn't left with such a choice. I think I've made up my mind. It's been an unfun ride. Have a good day.
I got into biology with the help of youtube and the internet, and then realized the only motivation to live is primal. Which is now why I can't really be bothered to do shit because in a few billion years we wont exist anyways.
honestly bro, you just gotta find some sorta purpose, whether it's a hobby, or someone, or just anything that you enjoy. Just try yo latch on to that, and get as much enjoyment as you can.
In early May, our school adopted a hybrid education, where people could go to school in person, or choose to stay at home. I chose to stay at home because it was simply easier for me to study for my APs and finals due to the extra time in the day that online school provides. Most of my teachers would have a separate camera that pointed towards their in-person class, allowing online kids to see what the in-person kids are doing. It felt so profoundly odd, seeing my peers interacting with each other in-person, while I sat at home in my room, silent, and without a smile on my face. I forgot how people used to just talk to each other. How every small interaction with each other brought such a sense of community and belonging. Meanwhile, I was sitting in my room. My desk is about 3 feet away from my bed, and all I have to do to go to school is wake up at the exact time school starts, and walk 3 feet over to my desk. Online school is just so... empty. Sure, it was easier for me, because it gave me more time in the day, but it just sucks the soul out of school. Before, a lot of my motivation to come to school came from wanting to see everyone, and be a part of the busy and exciting crowd. I remember waking up some days, genuinely excited to see all my friends and some of my cool teachers in-person. Towards the end of online school, I had no motivation to wake up for school at all. In fact, sometimes I would log onto my classes from my phone with my camera off, so that I could remain in bed. I would make up some BS about "wifi problems" (although that actually did happen quite frequently and it just added to the annoyance of online school), and sleep for the entire period. It's strange because it took me until January 2021 to finally come into terms with online school. I found a schedule that allowed me to focus on the things outside of school that I loved. It became oddly comfortable, and I was fine with ending the year the way it started. But when we went into hybrid education, and everyone else started going back, it kind of hurt, seeing how life used to be compared to how it is now. I even had a dream, where I was locked in some kind of closet, completely alone in the darkness. But between the cracks, I could see all my peers socializing without me, and it made me feel so sad. I woke up that day, and didn't even bother going to online school.
I found the free time nice when I helped my family flip a house but it hurt a lot coming form hibrid learning to being hundreds of miles away from my friends back at school. What really hurt then most to see was just how separated you are from your friends at school. At the beginning of the pandemic I gave up toldly on school to walking around my town on the empty street which was vary strange and sad. Never in all the many places have I lived have I seen so many places close, makes me think a lot of people have been truly affected with the pandemic.
@@user-el6lt8fr3x same. like I don’t even think I actually studied or listened in my spanish or geometry classes this year, i kinda just took a few notes and winged every test and it definitely reflected in my grades.
As someone autistic with ADHD, I'm good at studying online with pre-recorded sessions, sometimes I randomly study at 4 am just because that's where I'm the most awake and can hyperfocus and not get interrupted by people. Plus, I can listen to things on repeat if I don't get them the first time. What would fuck me up though would be having to drag my ass at 8 am in front of the screen and be a lifeless zombie that is not allowed to move too much. THIS seems to be the real problem.
@@GBSZ12 my math teacher did some pre-recorded lessons to make up for the things we might have missed, and honestly they were great. I wish more teachers ended up doing that in my school.
@@ハーフ-r1m live zoom classes are not efficient, fixed time to join, people join late, keep asking to turn camera on, can't sit comfortably, pre-recorded you can watch whenever you want, flexible schedule, much better
My defense for school use to be the social aspects you can’t learn at home. Seeing your peers everyday has its benefits. Then I realized 90% of bonding occurs during extracurricular activities outside the classroom. Like sports and club activities.
School has always been about passing, than learning… the pandemic made it even more obvious. I felt like I barely learned anything from school. It was just about memorizing things. I learned more from UA-cam than I did from 14 years of schooling (including preschool and kindergarten).
it genuinely feels like i lost a whole year of my education to the pandemic. despite still learning during the pandemic i have retained NOTHING and now im an incoming senior feeling like a sophomore since my entire junior year was a blur.
YESss. I moved during the pandemic nearing the end of my sophomore year and adjusting to everything was terribly difficult. Different school, different schedule, can't see your friend anymore nor make new ones in person, mountains of schoolwork that was due the next day, I was just so out of it. It's June now and I am going to need to make up 2 or 3 classes that I failed this year, which is so not me. The lowest grades I got were C's and even then I'd get them up and make honor roll 9.5/10 of the time. A whole year of my life just sped by and I was alone for most of it. Don't even get me started with the higher standards that honors put on top of me. I am just glad that school will be done this Friday. But I got finals tomorrow 🙃.
I've always had a hard time retaining information. Like, the only way for me to do well on a test is to cram right before because say I were to pace it out through a whole week, I wouldn't remember what I studied the first 4 days by the time I had to take the test. Also, I have zero motivation and very little interest in anything. I couldn't focus on school, especially when I was on my own laptop and addicted to Genshin Impact (game) lolol. Luckily I didn't do much online schooling, my school did make us go in person with a mask mandate (you could only do online classes if you had covid or had a covid scare.) I feel like my life isn't going to go anywhere, and while I already pretty well knew that this pandemic has played a small part in it too. I don't remember ever having motivation for my future, but it only started bothering me when I was in high school. I graduated high school this year and am planning to go to college this August. Here's the problem: I'm not motivated, I don't know where I want my future to go, I don't think I have enough passion for my hobbies let alone doing them to live, I don't even want to go to college because it seems meaningless. A college degree gets you almost nothing nowadays, just lifelong debt. I'm honestly scared for my future. I don't think I even have a future.
I graduate high school in 17 days and I can say this year has been hell. Teachers must think we all have 48 hours in each day as they basically doubled up in the work given and the stress. And to add insult to injury I transferred to a new school this year so I don’t have anyone to socialize with in class which means I spend most of my time at home playing online games instead of doing my hw just to stop myself from going insane and talking to the voices
Started high school with this crap. Can’t wait for another three years, hopefully this bs either ends or improves in some shape or form Edit: changed four to three because I can’t to basic math at four am.

I myself actually quit my school because of the horrendous methods the teachers used. Especially giving us 20 essays due tomorrow, and after that they didn't even count them towards our grade, the grade was basicall compiled of those stupid ass tests we did (with topics we never even had) and exams (with topics we never even had) that made up 50% of our final grade. I was pretty down and nearly actually had a panic attack because it was do damn much.

Adapt to new efficient ways of learning.. before Teams and Zoom, I was largely a straight A student, only had a B in two classes, and I'm a junior in high school taking majority college level courses. This year, I'm failing 4 classes, have a D in one, B- in another, and A+ in my easy class. My previous structure used to be 7 periods every day. Short bursts, always run into friends, different subjects kept me from sleeping. This year, it was either half your classes with a quarter of the students every day, or permanently online. I hate this. I really hate this. Firstly, it doubled or even trippled some class time. I have ADHD. I cannot keep focus, and cannot focus even more at home, where to me, I'm allowed to RELAX. At school, I'm meant to work, because THATS WHAT YOU DO. NOT at home, or at least not the same work. It also proved difficult with instructions being unclear, notes being harder to be aware of, talking with classmates and group projects being more awkward, and overall the depression that comes with being in a lonely environment where you never saw anyone, and were forced to be alone at home. It should be added, that last year in my second semester of sophomore year, instead of forcing zoom classes, if you had good grades in a class, you were no longer required to attend class or do homework. Meaning essentially, I've missed a whole half or more of a semester of work from last year that proved necessary for me to try to progress this year, meaning I was missing material that was "expected of me".
I really feel for you younger guys.... These Democrats today and the far-left are absolutely poisoning our country and need to be stopped... they have everything to do with all this nonsense going on....

@@Sir_Catnip I'm well aware man, very well aware. I lived in Fresno County for 6 years and have spent 6 here in Washoe Nevada, and compared to my time in Texas and Birth in Missouri, its night and day. I dont plan on going to college unless it's through the military, which is what I already plan to do. Even then, it'd be a better job to be an electrician, welder, or carpenter given how few people take on those trades, its ludicrous in terms of potential wealth.

Thank god I graduated in 2019. This shit is dogass. However don't sweat it too much. Not doing amazing in HS isn't gonna change your life that much and getting into a dream college shouldn't be a priority. Go to community college if you need to, or just don't go to college if you don't want to.
i don't have adhd, so maybe it's objectively better for you to study in school. but for me, distance work\learning is the best thing ever. it cuts down on transport pollution too, if nothing else
i have a terrible home life so trying to fit in a "school environment" here was impossible. on the day of march 13th when i found out the news, i ran to the bathroom and just cried. i completely failed this year but i honestly dont care, its the people around me who do which is annoying tbh. but i have to admit that im grateful for truly learning about how shitty the school system and world is in general

@@alpharius2omegaboogaloo384 How Malevolence Works We have both a collective and personal shadow, which is the collective unconscious and the subconscious. The entirety of MK ULTRA, clandestine operations: unacknowledged special access programs, Illuminati in-fighting, ancestral trauma (epigenetics), Artificial Intelligence, false timelines work through the subconscious. There is a amnesia wall that is built as a buffer, which works to conceal the truth of the human condition. I”m yet to find a satisfactory answer for our reason to be here; the idea of a single unified reason seems unsatisfactory, when as we know, even our own ego-states do not have a single unified reason to co-operate with each other. However, I think it’s reasonable to say that most of us do not like murder, or rape, or torture, or abuse, or pedophilia, or deception, or lies. So regardless of our differences we could generally describe Evil as that which is in opposition to our real nature, which is compassionate, which is good.
Ordinarily we don’t want to participate in that which is Evil, we are naturally good, so those that are malevolent have used a spiritual and legal loophole, using deception to co-opt us for their usage. Within the Illuminati this is blatantly obvious, as we have personalities that are designed to do things we would normally never do, for example: during a ritual a group of us murdered an innocent person and then ate them. Well I’m not a murderer, and I’m not a cannibal, so how did this happen? Well it works within a framework of consent, which roughly equates to “they committed this action which is Evil, and they weren’t strong enough to resist, therefore they accepted the Evil act, therefore it cannot be Evil because those that are Good accepted it.” So the natural function of being a human is overwritten with laws that favor the perpetrator. You can justify anything when you play this game. Evil thinks what they’re doing as good. It’s just they lack the fundamental intelligence of compassion, which is higher dimensional in nature, so it never really is good.
So much of this video details exactly what I'm going through in college. I've been challenged to organize and motivate myself in an isolated environment and I completely failed. I have since given up completely to soon be consumed by the incoming mountain of student debt that will swallow me whole all in the span of a year online university. I have no life skills and no way to deal with what is to come. I'm living on a lifeline maintained by a string of lies that will soon be cut. At least now I know that I'm not alone.
I used to think that sitting in class, checking the clock every 5 seconds was painful. But, honestly, sitting at home stuck in a zoom meeting and still checking the clock every 5 seconds is so much worse. At least at school, when the time was up, I could expect to go in another environment. Now, when class is over, I just close zoom and I stay in my room.
I used to have a lot of friends when I was in school, like also, a lot of teachers where very nice to me, but unfortunately, all of it is now lost to time, I used to love my school days, yeah sure there a few times where bad stuff would happen, but now, I feel all of my life has been drained and replaced with an empty void, I can only hope that I manage to go trough this year of school and have a, maybe not good, but just a decent grade, this whole google classroom shit really pisses me off, is not effective, is confusing, is empty and basically, trash.
I haven’t been at school for a year and a half. It sucks. I just got over my selective mutism at school prior, now if I go back I might not be able to talk again. I haven’t talked to any friends since then either. Pretty lonely.
I think i get how you feel. I’m incredibly anxious and when the pandemic started, I was relieved that I wouldn’t have to be constantly in a stressful social environment (it’s very draining), but it just made my anxiety even worse for me.
@@elokin300 that’s exactly what happened to me. I’m surprised my anxiety got so bad but honestly it makes sense if you’re just alone at home all day with your thoughts
Seeing all these comments makes me feel not alone anymore 😭 I used to do good in school but this year fucked me up entirely and I just felt so apathetic the whole time. I’m just barely passing, I’ve disappointed my parents all year, and I learned pretty much nothing. This all happened 2 months after I moved to a new state too, so I have no friends here. Plus being stuck in the house all day, on the internet and hearing about all the news just made it so much worse. I’ve just felt nothing this past year. It sucks man.
samee, last year the school had sm issues with implementing online learning that we literally went from around 8 hours of classes a day to just 1 hour. I didn't learn jackshit the entire year and either way, before lockdown I was in such a bad living situation (which I avoided as much as possible by being outside all the time) that now I was forced to face 24/7 that I couldn't keep the mental strength to get anything done the entire year. I ended up moving out to another city and changing to a new school, which I thought would somehow make things better, but even though online classes are now implemented properly, I barely know anybody in this place and feel lonely AF
I relate to you so much. I haven't moved but I have felt very lonely this year and have felt like a complete disappointment to my parents for letting my grades drop massively :(
I realised how bad it was when my teacher thought I was a model student just because i didn't cheat and because I turn my camera on in classes, when I don't even remember a single lecture of hers.
man I hate the fact that I graduated high school from my desk, I miss messing around with my friends at school and walking out of the classroom on the last day :'(
Back before the pandemic, i used to have friends, now because of this poor excuse of face-to-face school, and all that bubble bullshit i lost the only friends i had.
my school ends in two days. i haven’t seen my school friends all year and i tried my hardest last year to get closer to them. but that was when my anxiety was at its peak and anxiety attacks were more common for me. it felt like so much of a risk to try to get closer (even though it’s definitely not) and i just wanted to give up. now im going to a different school next year so i won’t be able see them again on a daily basis. it fucking sucks. im gonna miss them so much. plus i already know a friend group at my new school and they’re full of red flags…
It's funny that although I didnt do it too much, me and the boiz shit talked school at times, this year made us actually shit talk them more. Mostly by saying "Man fuck school"
@@xilpes6254 What if the teacher was in a hot tub. Online learning will look a lot like a twitch stream soon in order to compete for students attention.
Honestly, those who say they enjoyed online classes are probably privileged enough to have a decent computer, phone, reliable internet, a healthy home environment, etc. being from a third world country, zoom classes really suck. I do not even have my own room where I can focus on making assignments and other school projects. It's so uncomfortable to turn your cam and mic on when they can see family members pass by behind you. It's just plain depressing and soul-crushing.
honestly, coming from someone with the same situation as you, i've just given up completely on caring about my family in the background. to me at least if you think of it as something like "the teacher doesnt actually care whether you have the cam on", it becomes much less uncomfortable
Fair point. But honestly I wish I was with my family. Moved out, lockdown hit, social life= stillbirth. Dead in the water before it took off. Still only have one actual friend and have been living here for 9 months. It's getting better though, I should propably just become proactive again.
I share a room and have the most obnoxious siblings you could think of. 3 of them constantly running around yelling. No where to go. This year was hell.
As someone who grew up with a learning disability and needing extra time and extra teachers in the classroom, etc I cant imagine having to do school online. I wouldnt get the same assistance I got in school, I would probably fail. My heart goes out to students also not just the learning aspect but life experiences some of the memories I have from senior year of both high school and college and summer breaks and stuff are some of my most fondest memories I will hold onto forever, and for people now to not get to experience that......is so very sad. Being raised youre whole live to look forward to these things, only to have the rug pulled out from under you
I’m actually very surprised at how I passed math this year. My teacher went through lessons like the flash and nothing clicked. Beginning of term 4 I had like a C- or D+ cause the stuff she was teaching had me going ‘huh?’
i’ve heard more “is my mic working??” more than “do you guys understand?” i feel as if with online school, we’re all struggling and nobody wants to mention it whilst we all know we’re facing the same. excuse my language but the education system was already fucked up, i don’t know what, why, or how people think this resolves a better way for young kids everywhere to learn.
With online school the teachers showed this apparently. 30 minutes late half the time, go finds props for 15 minutes (science teacher both) 15 minute classes, broken devices
I was actually taking online school before the pandemic with a company called Virtual High School, an online school that has operated here in Canada since 1999. From looking at the online work given to my friends for their pandemic schooling, it's clear to me that the public school systems have no idea how to properly design online learning. With my online school, all course content is available for the students to complete at their own pace, and they can ask the teacher for help if they need it. However with the online learning set up by the public schools, there's hidden content, missing content, broken links, and the kids are forced to sit in zoom or google meetings for no reason for long periods of time, time they could be using to actually do work. Online learning, if properly supported by other social activities and designed well, can be a very good experience and I have personally enjoyed it a lot, but the way the school systems have introduced it is absolutely abysmal.
Online school isn't for everyone, shit I'm an A student predominantly then covid happened. Some professors care and others don't. Honestly if I'm being real honest my work ethic/ engagement to care about what the professor is saying is based on how much they care about the content they teach. If you're gonna treat online education like fast-food, you're going to get fast food levels of effort out of me. Not because I'm bitter I just learned that knowing when to try is worth it the effort. Imagine working at 110% for every professor/course or curriculum you registered for even though the professors themselves don't do the same. Shit gets old fast.
I do the same, I told this shit to my dad and he just said "we all have responsabilities" like yrah no shit my teacher just send my a fucking video and 30 questions and call it a day why should I even put effort into it
Same here. Until I met my university teacher of mathematics, I hated math with a passion. Without him, I would have never found a way to learn what I needed to apply in advanced classes. All thanks to a bunch of BS teachers, who didn't care for their own knowledge in the field. It doesn't matter, whether you learn from a teacher in class or at home. Hell, I've learned here on youtube more about computer networking than at school!
i hate it bc i need to keep up with more than 10 classes, i had no choice to be there but if i fail it basically means i fail in life, the worse of all is bc i have so much mental and physical health issues together with my sick mom and grandpa. when i used to go to school itself i could atleast learn a tiny bit and talk with my friends but now things are impossible to me, just thinking about school make me have panik attacks, this shit makes me feel stupid and worthless...
Yeah.. Especially you've been doing that 110% for bloody year's, have this shite happen & then when you email asking for assistance (was a rarity in my entire time in college I'd normally bang myself against the metaphorical wall till it near drove me insane & asked for some minor assistance..) On something that was unclear or to enquire about how group projects are to work when one person drops out ghosting the tutors, students & college admin.. Or yea just emailing for assistance on something, having no response for two weeks at a time by which point you've thrown yourself against enough metaphorical walls again & again you figured it out shortly before the "immovable" deadline when assignments both theory & practical course work are all done give or take one & a half or two months before you finally graduate... Sure you can get out with top marks.. Tho that helps little when the availability of work has dwindled so much & the only people employers will even look for an "entry level job" with shite pay must have a minimum of 3 - 5+ years experience in the industry + commercial experience + "x", level of degree + whatever else they can throw on top while paying £18,000 - £20,000... It's near impossible to get your foot to the door never mind through the door..
This just shows how everyone learns differently. Online classes didnt work for me since i need a way to seperate free time and work time. I struggled with high school but college (in person) worked well for me. I feel like options for education could help everyone, but i understand that probably won't happen due to the extra work that would need to be put in
Here's a neat case in irony: I am barely passing my Spanish class, and I'm a native spanish speaker. Why? Well because all of it was just dumbass projects that didn't adapt well at all with online. My attitude towards the class doesn't help but the way the class was taught, and how it was just so repetitive and dull and _unengaging_, I always thought I'd rather be doing something else, so I went and did other classes work instead of that, simply because it was just so dull. And this also went the other way around with some other classes. The online mode just sucks ass and I hate it
My take is projects and tests should be the only factor in grades, if grades are going to be the only numbers students are defined by. Homework and awful busywork offers no value to a student’s learning, unless it’s for memorization purposes. If a student is doing well enough on their tests, they shouldn’t be forced to do homework.
...When your slowly forgetting how to speak your native language.. not to mention, you're fluent at your native language but this year has been changing you a lot. This year has made a huge impact on me than I thought it would.. jeesh.
Same I’m a Spanish speaker but now that I’m no longer somewhere where I speak Spanish constantly, school has not been able to keep me speaking fluently (because the way they teach Spanish or languages in general is flawed), online school has made it tough to keep up with classwork when I was online.
Well, that is the problem of the course... odds are, that you weren't exactly engaged in the class either... at least compared to how much it was possible to engage you.
Yes yes yes, I live in a country that doesn’t speak English, and I’m totally bilingual even leaning more towards English being my native language, AND I FAILED ENGLISH BECAUSE OF A PROJECT, I feel like shit, especially when my classmates who aren’t native speakers passed, besides that, I used to be a high achiever who spoke ( or was at least at a pretty advanced learning level in) 4 languages, but through lack of practice and caring I now can’t even understand them very well, I feel awful about myself and like all my purpose has vanished
Just scroll through the comments here Glink and realize what you've done. You've helped hundreds of kids and young adult uni students by giving them an outlet to speak on how they feel, and the suffering they've endured. Through that, they can begin to move on from it. You've helped them a lot more than you ever could even realize.
Seeing these comments makes me sad. I graduated college a year before this covid shit. You guys future was burned down and stolen by garbage school boards who never liked yall. If this online trash happened to me I definitely be a drop out. Wouldn't care either.
@@Treyson007 Plus the woman in charge of subjects and stuff for my college screwed up my timetable by removing one of my classes by replacing it with Motion Design or some s***. I had no laptop or computer during the 1st 3 months of Lockdown, so I failed the class. From there I lost all motivation and stopped attending altogether. But it was still a blessing since I got sick anyway lol. Wouldn't want my friends asking me annoying questions.
It feels like school is invading my home. With Online Learning, what’s supposed to be a relaxing room, becomes a cage, where I have no choice but to turn on my computer, and listen to the teacher droning on about something I don’t care about. At least, I could turn off my camera, and slack off in most classes. I was also lucky to be able to attend school, full time, after a while.
I feel like my entire soul is drained from my body and I am now a monster looking creature with eyebags and almost dead. Damn school stopped being fun after 3rd Grade.
I got to go back to school back in March ish of this year and it felt soo good to be back after that online school stuff it didn't take long for all my anxiety and shit to go away because I finally got to relax more
So instead of slacking off with your camera off, you want to sit in an actual cage (they lock you up during clases in most schools now) listenint to the teacher droning on about something you dont care?
There could've been so many better alternatives than zoom calls, and schools had so much time to think about them. Still, they decided to choose the worst possible option for both teachers and students. I personally live in constant stress, while trying to find the motivation to do all of this, putting more effort into my assignments than it's needed, taking into account that teachers will most likely not stop to appreciate it. These type of videos are the reason I love youtube, and I can tell you did this with love and dedication, so you've just gained a new subscriber. Thank you
@@pandintea have a platform in which the professor can upload the explanation of the different topics, so the student can access these as he needs them. Then, have a zoom meeting for any questions and doubts. This saves up time for both the teachers and students. The thing schools got wrong was that they tried to emulate regular school as if nothing had happened, but there's no way you can in an online format. Online learning works, but not in the way they handled things, that being with online classes. It's very inefficient and tiring for both the teachers and students.
@@sir.santiago5922 Thats what I’m saying!! We’re wasting away spending eight 45 minute periods. Majority of the time we’re quiet. When we are being taught, it’s rushed as hell. There’s not enough time for our questions because we have 5 minutes left. Not only that, now we have to spend the rest of the day trying to finish the work you made due the same day. On top of that, we still have personal lives we’re dealing with. It’s hell.
These teachers are literally doing the bare minimum!! It’s so frustrating! For my English class our teacher doesn’t even read our papers, the net tutor and our peers do all the work for her bc she has taken on a bunch of other classes smh. It’s a terrible setup all around.
For one of my most difficult courses last year, the lecturer give use slides with brief audio annotations made by him, and a few questions. It didnt take long to go through, and honestly it was the course I learnt the most from, and it was notorious for being hard. Meanwhile I just couldnt care about 2 hour and 3 hour zoom calls
You know what is scarier that the authority in charge of higher education in my country just released a draft to introduce blended learning into the system, slowly phasing it to 70% online teaching and 30% offline teaching permanently.
Yeah that's terrible, it seems the people running things lately are absolutely awful, especially here in the US... It's so embarrassing to be led by people that had to cheat their way into office...
I didn't experience zoom learning, but one thing I have an issue with regarding school is that not everyone is gonna understand the same topic of a subject at the same pace. I always struggled with geometry and even more so with probability in school. But algebra? I was bored out of my mind that's how easy it was for me. Something like Khan Academy is amazing because it allows you to spend as much or as little time as you need on a given topic. Another thing that I've noticed on KA and other online learning platforms is that people really aren't afraid to ask really dumb questions. And I mean questions they had the answer to, if only they payed attention to the video lecture. When was the last time a student raised their hand when a teacher asked if everyone understands the topic? So it baffles me that there are teachers who elect to structure their zoom lecture as if it was a regular classroom.
It's so weird seeing all these comments about their experiences with online schooling. I remember that before the pandemic broke out, people were complaining about going to school physically. Now everyone's complaining about not going to school physically and having a worse time off being taught from home. I think this is the pure definition of 'You never know what you have until it's gone'.
True, but I think it also goes to show just how bad and broken school can be. (FYI, I live in the states, no clue how bad the education system is elsewhere)
I don't really agree with that quote, considering switching from physical school to online school is like going from having one broken arm to two. To me, it paints having to go to physical school as just a simple minor annoyance, rather than something that has driven kids to pain. But I completely agree with everything else.
@@monamona164 I, too, live in the states, yet I've seen first hand how bad and broken a school board can be. Even though I was fortunate enough to go to a good school, it was just something else witnessing just how messed up it could get.
@@sweetenlemons8659 Yeah, a minor annoyance that most people wouldn't dare force themselves to use their full brain powers on (myself included). But yeah, not everyone might agree with such a quote in this context.
The worst academic year I’ve ever had, I was a sophomore. First semester I was doing alright, but with all that time having no social interactions and waking up just to look at a screen and *try* to learn something wasn’t for me. I missed a few classes and it made my grades fall. That then made work pile up for me making my grades fall even more. I completely just gave up then and stopped attending some classes where I was failing.

Can’t speak for all students, but online learning for me was like trying to learn an entire curriculum through UA-cam videos.
My history teacher just taught us with pre-recorded lectures. Literally we’d log into class, do a maybe 3-5 minute review, and then leave class to watch the lectures for the rest of the period. You didn’t even need to watch the lectures cause the answers to the tests were easily available online and were 100% accurate.

SAME, i still feel like a highschooler but im in college now ;_;
I used to joke about "we don't need school in person, we can look up everything on UA-cam!" I regret that immensely.
To some level that's true. But to be overly dependent on UA-cam can prove harmful.
@@custom-r UA-cam is great for context, it's great for seeing points of view. But the lack of peer-review and research citing on many many maaannny videos is terrifying.
As well there's "selection bias" so while someone might be really into WWII history let's say- They'll pretty much only focus on that very narrow stream on UA-cam because they are guided by their own self interest. But then lack broadening views of other contexts, where for example colleges will require you to complete "X amount of credits from various streams" in order to graduate so you don't end up being that guy that rambles on about Rommel ad nauseum, but can't tell you who Mao Zedong was.
@@m.a.118 My view is that universities were created in the middle-ages, which is a long time ago and nowadays they provide staff with jobs and also act as a barrier between people and the job market; it is the biggest problem in countries where education is costly but it's a problem everywhere and it results in division where the people who have graduated want to keep the walls up and defend the system because doing so will lessen their competition; it is in the interests of school staff and former graduates to argue that people need degree programs from universities because that provides the staff with a livelihood and it ensures that most people will never be able to try for the jobs that the former graduates are holding even if they could easily do those jobs. Nobody in the middle-ages could have envisioned the internet and how so much knowledge is on our fingertips now or how people living on welfare are more well traveled than adventurers in the 19th century.
Now with this said, originally universities only taught a few select subjects like law, philosophy or theology and it is a testament to the archaic nature of the system that theology is still taught in state funded universities in many countries. Over time more and more degrees were added and, if necessary, the degree programs were inflated in size to fit the founding degree programs for symmetry. This is problematic because a smart person could arguably become a teacher in a year instead of five years and many teachers tell you that outright in private. Even if we accept that something like medicine, which is either rightly or wrongly associated with high responsibility, high skill and large amount of knowledge, should be taught the way it is taught now that still does not mean that degrees that people get to be able to break down barriers into public administration or even private sector jobs should be artificially stretched out to last several years and cost people plenty of money as well. There are many degrees which involve zero manual skills; just oral and written presentation. Instead of demanding that people gnash their teeth through five years of essay writing, reading arbitrarily assigned specific books for sources and hoping they luck out and interpret the instructions for their course work correctly and that they will get someone to back up their thesis they could just be given one book or manual which lays out the knowledge they need to fulfill the requirements of vocation X and then these people could go to work and attain the required knowledge using whatever channel they like. Once they have acquired the knowledge they could sit in for an exam lasting anywhere between hours or days. The model or blueprint, if you like, for this kind of learning and qualification is already in existence in at least some countries, where anyone regardless of their background can sit in for a foreign language exam for a small fee and prove their knowledge and skill on their desired level. It is assumed that it takes over 1000 hours of study to become highly proficient in a strange language but it may be more like 500 depending on your use of time, skills and motivation...however long it takes is ultimately up to you; there is no professor lording over you and giving you a failing grade because he or she did not like your looks nor are you anguishing over vague instructions, mandatory class attendance or people making your life hellish in your dorm or school. You don't have to take public transport, cancel hobbies and carry other people's weight in group assignments or follow them around to see if they leave a comment at the last minute that you have to respond to pass the course. There's no mind numbing lectures about stuff appealing to the slowest learner where you are almost falling in asleep only to be alerted halfway through to some snippet of information that you were not privy before.
@@miesvaillanykyisyytta3252that kind of system kinda already exists it's called certifications.
@@petelee2477 I'm not sure if we're on the same page here but in my country at least you have to pass five years of university to get a master's degree and that includes numerous courses and a thesis; work practice is included in the courses. Theoretically, depending on the institution of higher education, you may be able to waive some courses based on prior work experience or study but it's up to the teacher to decide if they want to cut you any slack.
I did not even mention these massive hindrances yet but if you want to study in a uni you might have to spend years just getting in and once you get in you might have to move to another town or even country to get your degree. My argument is that in many cases people should not have to apply to uni at all or pay money for courses; they should be allowed to sit in for an examination (for a fee or not) if they feel that they have the skills or knowledge to apply for a position that requires a certain degree.
The worst part of online learning is the school and teachers assume students have an infinite amount of free time at home. There was more homework, given time was shortened and it stacked up fast.
Physical school is good because it is physical, it helps separate school time and "your" time. Back then I didn't own my room nor my own time.
The saving grace is I'm 12 grade already and in Vietnam, we only have to stay at home for a few months at a time when a new outbreak happens.
Wait teachers didn't give you too much homework and unreasonable deadlines for anyone with a healthy life back then?
What kind of crazy Physical school have you been into?
ur totally right… just because i’m at home my teacher thinks it’s okay to assign like three pages of textbook work, an assignment, and a quiz like every day. when she shares her screen sometimes you can see that like 3/20 ppl have handed it in so obviously it’s not working but she won’t change it. it’s literally destroying my work life balance and it’s not ok :/
The thing is, many students actually _had_ more time, because there was no need to commute to/back from school, no need to prepare as much before going out in the morning etc.
But on the other hand, most of that time was spent of fixing shitty connections, broken chat rooms and others internet problems, sometimes dealing with trolls, and most importantly: it was needed for students to relax and unwind after online classes, which were harder to navigate through than stationary ones (lack of social cues, obviously - which was mentioned in the video itself).
So in the end it evens out, it's not like everyone had THAT much time for additional assignments.
@@eamonm5923 ya I predict more ppl will be dropping out
You feel absolutely no rest even after school is long over, after finishing a problematic assignment, more will take its place in less than the hours you slept
I got so stressed this year I pretty much said "fuck it" and basically threw the entire year. It really got me depressed because I realized pretty early on that there was no way that I could conform to the system and I genuinely contemplated suicide a few times. I would say that I hope that the government would take notice but it's already shown that our country is run by a bunch of out of touch and incompetent idiots
So sorry to hear that man hope things become better for you it been a rough time for me as well we will eventually get thru this.
I feel you. That’s exactly how I felt..I hope you are feeling better now and I hope the best for you. Don’t hurt yourself in anyway. You deserve to live. You are a talented being. 🫂

Same. Except being in university this fucked me over so much. They don’t care if you can’t do online and my GPA and academic career is getting stained.
I just finished this school year. It felt like a total waste of time I didn’t learn anything, and considering I have ADHD it was even harder to focus on actual school so my grades dropped terribly, I don’t know why anyone considers zoom school to be an alternative.
As someone with ADHD. It actually helped a lot. Physical school was sooo strict. Now I can adjust volumes, listen to (instrumental only lmao) music. I can ACTUALLY listen to what the teacher says since I’m using headphones, so I won’t get distracted listening to birds chirp, or tuning in to someone else’s conversation - OH AND THAT. Everyone being quiet WORKS SOOOOO WELL.
@@AsteroSloth That’s good to hear for you! I’m currently using FLVS Flex which is a flexible version of online school and thankfully has a healthier number of assignments to turn in depending on the pacing (3 assignments per class per week in a 16-18 week pacing for one semester). Even though it isn’t perfect in the sense of explaining every little thing, it does work better for me.
I just hope online learning will adapt to what people want because a lot of people struggle with Zoom and I agree with what they say in their experiences. And @concon, I’m sorry that online school has been an awful journey for you, I hope when a few years pass by that you’ll eventually find your way in the world ❤️.

I absolutely loved online classes because they allowed for me to exploit the already horribly made school system and create free time for myself where I could pursue my personal passions and goals.
It's great or self-starters. I'm the same way...much more productive when I'm able to go at my pace. I think we're in the minority though. Most people need their hands held.
Most kids don't have personal passions or goals, so most kids didn't get that same benefit.
Yes!I love them for the same reason but we are in the minority
Still doin online for that reason
Lol pretty much. I just watched YT and anime during classes lmao 😂
I actually graduated through zoom, my entire graduation ceremony was a five minute skype call with my teacher and then it was over. I had a full suit on and a glass of wine sitting in front of my computer. The silence when the call ended was just absolutely deafening, I have never felt as incomplete as I did sitting there realizing three years of stress and hard work amounted only to that. Online school messed with pretty much everyone I know man it’s so soul draining.
I am so sorry. I do not know how to console you, but I sure hope the rest of your life is everything you're hoping for. Online school fucking destroyed me as well. I just moved across the country 6 months ago and still literally don't know anyone. Going to have to spend the summer in my own company, but hey maybe it won't be all that bad. Hoping that all this shit will make us stronger somehow. Good luck out there fellow human

Man, that's really sad. They didn't even try to make an effort. I understand why they don't do graduation ceremonies at a lot of schools, but damn.
I didn't even bother going to whatever zoom graduation meeting my community college had back in 2020. I just got my diploma delivered through the mail, and my parents made me try on my old gown from my high school graduation for pictures. Lmao
Even receiving my acceptance letter for the university I'm now going to felt underwhelming. It's like my excitement for school has been sucked out of me. I don't know if you can relate. I mean, I'm still kind of happy that I got accepted, but it doesn't feel as exciting as I imagined it would've felt before.

@@Bukwheat yeah I've been cheating on tests ever sence we started doing this

I'm Italian, and my experience with online education is terrible. The teachers think that we like being in front of a screen, so they're charging us with even more online homework. There was a period during which I was in front of my computer for at least 10/12 hours every single day, even on our free days. Homework was just too much, and during this summer they gave us lots of book to read, and, even if reading is one of my favourite activities, I just wanted to re-live my social life during the only three months of freedom that we're allowed to live.
I now fear going to school. I want my life back.
Ciao, ti capisco benissimo, stessa cosa anche per me.

Not the only one, dude. I had a fucking horrid experience learning both physics and calculus with online learning. I had to watch a slew of videos on UA-cam and Khan Academy to just scrape above failing both classes
My school has been going online for an entire year until it finally openned 2 weeks ago. I have learned next to nothing, my grades dropped, I pretty much forgot everything from my french class and so on. The motivation and desire to learn just wasn't there during remote learning. It felt so surreal, useless and unfulfilling. Any psychological problems I had became much worse then before and I almost failed school completely because I couldn't force myself to even do the assignments. I was constantly tired, drained, addicted to video games... Before online school I was fine I was a normal student. It's like the whole year wasn't real, time flew by and I was stuck in an endless loop. I was also more anxious, having pannic attacks while going grocery shopping because seeing people didnt feel real. I haven't had this shit happening before. It felt like everything lacked reason. Its over now, things are better now but its like a whole year of my life got taken away from me. Online learning is terrible and in no way a substitute to normal school
My friend has to go to summer school because he failed online class. Thing is I saw the whole thing and his teachers were pretty biased against him, sad how it happened
Holy Shit mate, same. Physical was great for me. Grade 11 (Gen. Average was 90-some. For comparison). But this 12th grade. I nearly didn't graduate because of INCs and ended up a lot of 70s. I'm lazy that's a fact, but this just amplified it by 20.
As a 2nd year college student, I totally relate to literally everything that you're saying. Hopefully things will get better as we shift back to in person
So I'm not the only one huh? Thought the problem was me
yeah fall-winter 2019 i was really improving mentally and finally started feeling like i was getting a footing on life and was excited for the future. then covid hit and im just slowly going more downhill, went from straight As to Fs. feeling really hopeless most of my days now but maybe soon we can make the steps to get back to where we were. RIP high school senior year
School feels like it ended in March 2020; now we’re just living in some kind of nightmare. I’ve seen a different side of my teachers this year. They’ve become angry at us and the system and students have stopped caring altogether
Edit: everyone is very happy to be back in school full time and the general attitude is that everyone is thankful we’re not online, major improvement from last year
Mhm.
Not just school, life in general.
Indeed..
At least I can say that my teachers and fellow classmates were nice about it. Sure, half the students didn't care about the work, but even then people would still crack jokes in the chat and all that. So that's at least _something_
@@jooot_6850 puts hands together like the stickman.
The social aspect in school is arguably more important to kids than actually learning material, the amazing and horrendous experiences, the friendships you develop and the memories you create are so, so important to your development and quality of life. Just imagine in 5 years time being with your friends at a party and reminiscing “mate, remember when x and y at school, that was the funniest shit”, that’s completely impossible with online school, it’s sad.
I've barely ever had a social life at school to begin with lol.
well clearly what you said is just wrong, for example if we return to normal life and online learning is still a thing, we would had a different kind of school, a place where you would only do physical stuff, because all of the hassle that like show up on time, is just an annoyance for traditional school, like what if it's take a kid 1-2 hour to get to the school and he or she would had to wake up sooner than their friend 1-2 hour just to go to school thus their sleep time reduced, while if the kid can attend online class they only need to wake up on time turn on their phone or pc and done. Then another aspect of online learning is even better, if the student dont had time to attend the class, they only need to record the lesson, and if they dont understand that, they could ask the teacher later, and they only need to make sure that their grade would be fine at the test, so saving both time for the teacher and student since they dont need be happen at the same time. And since you dont need class any more the school would be transformed into a more sport oriented school, that support more sport and during that time the kid can just show up and only need to work their body out with all their youth energy and then they came home, having already socialized, and energy spent so the result is a more fit and well socialized kid. So yeah I feel like you are only clinging on the idea of "traditional school" is because you having thinking through how to work with technology.
now imagine online school but your entire life, and now you know what home schooling is!
@@blankmoment2 haha 'clearly what you said was just wrong' the fact that hundreds of people agree with me is clearly indicative of the opposite but i take it english is your second language so whatever. In this fictitious situation, i would think that this child should move to a damn closer school ! and if their nearest school is still 2 hours away well I somewhat doubt they would have the internet capabilities necessary to attend online school lol. i dont even know why you're disagreeing with me you obviously agree with me that normal school is still important? i think it's fair to say for the vast majority of students that online school is worse in every aspect, from engagement to the content to the value for money their parents pay for to, and most crucially, the fun social side of school
i hate the social part of school so online learning worked me for but i can understand this for most social students
I’ve had teachers make the tests overly hard to “compensate” for those who may be cheating since it’s online, average for each test went to the 30s and 40s. It was ridiculous.
That’s just an open invitation to cheat, tbh. I wouldn’t even feel bad about it at that point.
Might as well play their game and cheat 🤷♀️
All it did was FORCE students to cheat, when I got multiple 1 hour assignments from math PER DAY, and all I had to do was look up the worksheet name and save 3 hours of work. Or I could spend 3 hours doing repetitive work that was inflated to make it “harder” to cheat.
@@theslamjamfrincisco2820 what do you mean look up the worksheet name? The teachers are giving you "open source" homework and tests etc and arent even making their own for their classes? What the fuck are we paying these idiots for?
In a perfect world, you'd complain about the cheaters that caused the problem rather than those that only wanted to make sure you're learning, because you know, it's their job.

Honestly online school was one of the worst concepts created and was just a half assed attempt to keep the industry going , i learned nothing and i used to be a straight A+ student and now i am in extended school to make up for classes i failed, you dont just become dumb in a matter of months, i have become more and more depressed and the only thing that makes me happy is my mom , my puppy , making shitty videos for my channel , playing games, and formula 1 with the bois which due to divorce visitation only happens for 2.5 days every 2 - 3 weeks , it ruined my realtionship with my dad because him being a old african man means he doesn't understand the struggles of modern schooling , can you believe he thinks i have it easy doing online school, i never liked the kids in my school because most seemed like self absorbed assholes but damn i want to go back
Exactly same for me in terms of online school performance and depression from it. I barely scrapped by and it was so stressful I thought about ending it a few times.
Ouch man I was the a/b student until this year where you could routinely catch me with Ds and Fs. But I didn't have to do make up classes.
man this is one of the I hate the most about online classes. i don't hate adults, but they never seem to see the faults and troubles of online learning because they think "we have it easy". Really makes it hard to tell them your problems and frustrations, and sometimes, they even straight up tell you to "suck it up and remember that 'you are luckier than most kids out there'". Yes I am lucky, I know that. But just because I am able to eat three times a day doesn't mean our entire generation's problems should be easily brushed off as "invalid" or brought on by our being "entitled" or whatever.
Dude I feel you so much in almost everything, it's just so depressing to bust your ass in a system that is working even less than the previous, and to drift away from everyone, and finding happiness in F1, pets, etc
Also my parents think this is easier, but learning like this is like learning to play guitar with videos and without actually touching a guitar
i just said fuck it half way through the year, i already knew all the shit and it wasant worth the sress or work, if i fail ill honestly dropout and just teach myself how to do something that i actually like
This has been my worst year ever, my grades drastically dropped, i stopped talking to friends who i talked to daily, i have 0 motivation at all and can't adapt to online school at all, i miss going to class where i know how much time I'll have for myself and school seeing the stupid shit my classmate's did and also bickering with my friend's, i have no fucking clue if I'll even pass at the start i thought it was going to be easier but for me it's been much much harder
i said f it to everything because i don't plan on staying here for longer
I don't miss people but I feel the same about grades. I'm just gonna be like a plant and do what I'm doing and not care about the outcome kinda.
Sorry it's unrelated but nice desu2 pfp
I may hate school but I thank the rigid structure of it, I know that’s going to happen, when, and how long it will last. And when school was over you went home and you were, well, HOME. That separation just wasn’t there this/last year
Exactly how I felt
In university I have to admit that finding "new friends" online is really hard because nobody talks to each other in private, everybody is always in classes and there is no "social space" without any college staff.
Same. Just got back on campus and actually met my classmates who have taken the same classes as me for the last five semesters.

Online school is tough. I thought it’d be easier for me, considering how I always avoid interacting with people, but now I’ve just been procrastinating and cheating through all my assignments, I know it’s not a valid excuse but still. The school year ends in a few days and I’m trying to complete as many assignments as possible so I can get my grades up. But it seems so pointless now.
Finally someone who understands me. Seriously schools out here treating me like an adult. Adults are doing the same boring shit as us, but there is one significant difference. THEY GET PAID FOR IT. They really expect me to sit at an computer and work with the attention span of an adult without giving me any motivation to do so? If adults sit at the computer for long they get paid. What do we get? A letter. I can’t do the work the way you want me to if I’m not motivated. I’m not saying we should get paid for going to school I’m saying that when you don’t give people proper motivation to do something you won’t get proper work done in return. I got off online school with A’s B’s and anxiety galore. Even during summer I feel anxious about school work. WHEN THERE IS NO SCHOOL WORK. This shit messed me up so bad- 😭

14:47 exactly this. Missing assignments and getting low grades didn't make me want to do better, it just made me feel like shit, until I eventually just stopped doing any work.
God, what a perfect quote. You really captured the problem a good chunk of people are dealing with.
The struggle is this: there’s a group of people who are motivated by struggle and friction, but, there’s a whole array of people who are crushed by added discouragement. I really hope one day this kind of challenge is actually addressed, instead of just ignored and left to fester.
this was the first year my grades have been consistently shit through and through-- my parents were constantly on my ass about how i was “lazy” n junk. they just don’t understand how draining this year was; my mental health hasn’t been this shit in a while.
Literally same bruv like I just gave up idc anymore
Dude that’s exactly how my brother felt and my parents just said “oh my god how does that even make sense”
TW mental health, suicide.
Same here. Ive always had problems with mental health, but jesus this made it so much worse. I already have low self esteem, so logging onto classes and hearing im missing 40 assignments, then getting yelled at by my parents, getting yelled at online, there have been a lot of times where ive been scared of seriously hurting myself this year.
I resonated with what one of the students said where you felt that if you messes up once, it felt impossible to catch up and at one point you just gave up
So relatable it hurts
I relate, it's bad
missed a whole section in english literature because i missed a single lesson from stress and fell right into a depressive state once i realised catching up would be impossible
Same thing, I failed english one quarter because I kept on forgetting to check all the new websites the teacher was giving us assignments on
Yeah there was not a single assignment that I haven't cheated on.
Warning: long tangent
So my small Christian school shut down (I'm not a Christian btw) and I was forced to do homeschooling this year with NO help from my teachers I had to check everything and pretty much be the teacher and the student it has affected my physical and mental health so bad and this whole year I've cheated on all the test (I could pass without cheating I just didn't want to put more stress on myself) and now I'm a little bit behind and having to do an end of the year test (which is stupid because my state said the schools didn't have too but I have to do bullshit right? My ma is trying to fix that issue) anyways all in all this year has sucked as and getting motivation is so God damn hard. Sorry for ranting
Sometimes online school feels so demotivating that I don't even bother with cheating, not because I don't want to, but because I don't even have enough energy to put an effort for school, even if it's cheating.
That's what I did before we went online. For me my computer and the internet has been the best school of my life.
When my school switched to online, I tried to do everything legit for a few weeks. That means not doing anything else during class and not doing anything non educational during school. That didn't last long. The zoom meetings just felt like an video that you couldn't skip through. You couldn't go back 15 seconds if you didn't understand something or skip ahead 15 seconds if you already understand the current topic. It all felt like a giant waste of time. I found myself learning more effectively using my own time and using resources I find on the internet.
As the days went on, I started to stop paying attention during class. Instead I would just chat and play games with friends to make up for the lost in person socialization because of the lockdown. I would just search up answers in order to understand every single lesson and to complete homework. People would often cheat on tests because they just couldn't be bothered to learn the lessons, me included.
It's been hard on the teachers as well. As the year went by, everyone could see the lockdown taking its toll on the teachers. Adding on the stress of trying to teach us students through the online platform and seeing such diminishing results, their mental health also aren't doing too good.
this sounds exactly like what i did
I feel the same. Its just hard when with 2 clicks you can just go on youtube for hours. And when doing a test you can look up all your answers. I felt motivted to get through school because I wanted good grades and I wanted the weekend to come faster. With online school all it takes to get good grades is google, and instead of being forced to go through class I can just take a 5 hour break.
This is exactly my experience 💀
Bloody heck this is just fcking true to the core. Teachers can't really teach well in Online class. might as well just search stuff in youtube ... tbh I also skipped most of them too.. cuz in the end I realized I'd just be searching in the internet for that topic anyway...

Online learning doesn’t work
Right there with you. I graduated at my local cc last summer and transferred to a university awhile after and my GPA tanked severely because of online learning and a combination of different factors. I barely passed calculus 1 in my last semester there because online learning was hard and ik my teacher went easy on us because of the pandemic.
@@BlackCherryZyn it does your just lazy
you should feel bad lol I hope you do better this year though
The best part of school was always those random out of nowhere events that just happened cuz you and your friends and classmates were just bored and wanted to do something fun. In online school nothing that spontaneous could ever happen so it sucks in a way I think most people might not think about.

Something spontaneous could happen!... like your home losing electricity for a day, making you miss important stuff

Same, only I graduated in 2018. I hate taking college classes online, but I'm forever grateful I got to at least experience all 4 years of high school before 2020. It wasn't amazing or anything, but at least I was able to gain experiences and memories that I wouldn't have gotten if I had been a few years younger.

Are you in high school or college?
High-school Class of 2020 here, our year was cut short at the very beginning of the pandemic. We went on spring break, and never returned. We did online classes through teams and it was a DISASTER. My family was in a horrible financial state from the pandemic so I ended up working full time to help make ends meet while also doing online class. Of course the result of this was me going fucking insane, I worked at Walmart with an abnormal schedule to get all the hours available, which meant that literally every single day for nearly 6 months I was getting up and going to bed at completely different times. I would work 7am-3pm one day, the next 11am-7pm, the day after that 3pm-11pm, then another 11am-7pm, then a 7am-3pm...... it was ruthless. I gave up doing a majority of schoolwork beyond getting 50% because I just couldn't handle it anymore, they assumed because of the pandemic that everyone was just at home all the time doing nothing so they gave students MORE work than they normally would. I hated every aspect of my life, my job was TERRIBLE, school was literally impossible, I got completely fucked. It was mentally, physically and emotionally draining. I think working retail through the bulk of the pandemic really killed me on the inside, I can't really put into words how abusive of an environment it was. a few months after grad I couldn't even remember what classes I was in. completely worthless. I got literally NOTHING from school. I cannot think of a single life skill it has taught me. It makes me angry to think that I used to actually try pretty hard at it, I was an honour roll student, and for what? wasted effort.
Hope your doing better now brother I'm so thankful I graduated highschool in 2016 before all this went down I would've gone insane
Man this whole thing is bringing to the front of my mind something that I’ve been kind of repressing - that we are all becoming socially starved. There are so few opportunities for organic traditional social interaction. We all exist to each other from a distance. If we disappear, it’s irrelevant because we don’t really exist to each other to begin with in a way. I miss feeling like a living human being.
This is so true. I’m not the type of person to shed tears for anything but I literally cried after hugging my friend for the first time in months
I... don't think this is quite true.
Let me try to expose my viewpoint, and apologize in advance if i misunderstood your words. Friendships (or any social bond) at a distance are, obviously, not quite the same as the "organic traditional social interaction" you are describing. Sure, you don't care if some dude on the internet just disappears from the fase of the earth, but that extends to people you actually meet in real life for barely any time. Would you deeply feel the loss of that one retail worker in some grocery store you went to once in your life and never came back? Probably not, and that has happened since there was enough people in the world for you to not know every single soul in your little village. It's not a new phenomenon. We have always existed to eachother from a distance, but now it's just easier to do so, specially with a pandemic that restricts our opportunities to meet people in person: which seems to be the only way some people are able to conceptualize real, caring relationships.
But, i don't think that "lack of traditional social interactions" and "distanced relationships" are one and the same. You can have a relationship with someone via letters or emails or texts, and still feel the loss of that person you've never really met face-to-face more than someone you have met in person (ie, that retail worker from my example). Sure, if you have met them in person the loss may be way more deep and meaningful, because existing in the same space as someone has way more opportunities of making a bigger impact in their life- but that still doesnt make the letters you received and wrote back any less valuable as a social interaction, or any less meaningful.
Perhaps i feel inclined to say this because i have lost a friend dear to me and felt that loss very deeply, even if i have only met them via a funky little app on the internet and we didn't even know eachother's actual name.
Tldr; i think that how deep and impactful social interactions can be has nothing to do with how "organic" or "traditional" they are, and everything to do with the people involved and their actual bond. Sorry for the rant!
divide and conquer just more efficient with AI and everyone being hooked to the same master nodes.
Honestly, you couldn’t have said that better. I feel like all this technology is making us too comfortable in our own little bubble that pure human connection are becoming rare. Don’t get me wrong I’m not hating on technology, but I think we are too reliant on technology. This is just depressing. Over use of technology is the reason why this current generation (my generation gen z) has the highest mental illness rates.
That's been the Shadow Governments' plan since 1913
Sophomore year was genuinely one of the worst years of my life. Decided to stay online while most of my friends were in person, s/o and I saw each other way less, and of course before my final day of exams (my final day of school) my dad tested positive and my 10 year old sister hasn’t looked this bad ever. This isn’t even the worst of anyone’s situation, and so I’m just wishing the best for anyone who’s school year was made difficult this year

"Acedemic dishonesty" they would tell me, as most of my professors did exactly 0 lectures throughout the entire semester. If I write an essay that applies to two or more assignments, I should be able to use it for both. Online college is a sham, and I hate every minute of it. Just four years and then you can get a good job, my parents say. Four years. YEARS. Just because they spent most of college partying, they think everyone has a great time in school. Online college affords no such social opportunities. I have had just about all I can handle, and I take solace in knowing that my experience is one shared by many.
Lol that's good majority of people who party In college are insanely stupid so you saved youraelr from that crowd
If it makes you feel any better: I did STEM in-person a couple years before the pandemic and had the same problem. In game development class, there was literally 80 hours of homework a week; and I took data structures the same semester... all while working part-time. Some degrees are just fucking rough. I can confirm, though, that things are a lot better now that I'm out, and the sacrifices made in college allowed for things to get better. But we could have all just done a trade, and gotten careers shaping metal or crafting cabinetry. Actually using our bodies, as well as our minds. My job is sitting on a couch all day, every day. Well-compensated, comfortable; but not enough.
Laughs in med school
@@jujureference8535 My sister's in med school and it is indeed way worse than tech.
This.
At the beginning of online, I was doing great and was paying attention. Then after a few months I start losing motivation to work hard, I feel like it won’t ever mater to me. I’ve since been not paying attention, barley getting out of failing grades, and always turning in late work. At this point I’m kind of lucky I haven’t failed this year at all, hell I haven’t even failed a single class. Online learning can be great, if done right. But if done wrong, it can destroy a persons motivation to work hard and make ‘learning’ something almost impossible.
(In Brazillian) When the pandemic started, i got weeks without school, then pre recorded videos and finally online classes.
2021 arrived, and my classes was jumping from:
- a totally online (students and teachers online)
- a hybrid (students online and the teachers in a empty classroom)
- a "real" hybrid (students and teachers in the class and some students online)
The hybrid and "real" hybrid classes are hell
@@Calypso504 yes! The teachers in my school pay literally no attention to the online students so if you get a bit behind, your screwed. They move around, and get so far away from their terrible quality mic that all you can hear is disjointed staticky chatter, and the in-person students chattering makes an awful staticky garble of nonsense that makes it very hard to concentrate. Half of the teachers don’t know anything about online, to the point where they will just completely forget to join the zoom, or start the google meet. Subs are the absolute worst, usually they’re muted, don’t turn the mic on, or join a half hour late. Also, screw seeing anything, cause most of them don’t bother to check if their cameras are actually pointing at the thing you need to be seeing, or if they’re just pointing at a wall. They assign a ton of work, and barley give us any info on it, and say to “not be afraid to ask questions”. Then they proceed to not answer literally any of your questions. If there are a lot of people in the call, you will randomly be marked unexcused absent. I was almost marked truent because of how much it happened. If you don’t immediately switch from whatever thing you’re working on and turn on your microphone and camera, or you don’t answer a usually quite hard question in 0.5 seconds, or you take 5 SECONDS to type an answer into chat because your microphone doesent work properly, you will be marked non responsive, which is also counted towards being marked truent. Fun. If you are slightly tardy because your previous teacher never excused the class (which happens a lot because usually we aren’t checking the time every 5 minutes) then according to them, you never showed up yo class, period. I have a nerve disorder which makes stress and anxiety signals be falsely transmitted to my brain as pain signals, so you can imagine that it feels like I’m constantly being stabbed. School only affects kids positively though, right!!!!! Oh, and one of the other affects of this disorder is chronic fatigue. My parents thought I had mono, because I was sleeping 18 hours a day. I wish I had mono, because that gets better after a few months. I fall asleep in class constantly, and being online reeeeeeallly doesn’t help that. Oh, and did i mention I literally can’t do school in person cause yay fun, apparently this thing also weakens the immune system, and amplifies the affect of illnesses, as it thinks that they are also pain signals so it would be even more excruciating of pain! !! !!,!! Yay my life is so great. I’m so sick of being told that these are “the best years of my life”. They aren’t. The best years of my life was when I was 10, and I hadn’t developed my nerve disorder, and I had friends. When I could be myself around people. When I could literally talk without feeling like I was being judged. When I didn’t have severe anxiety and depression, and the teachers actually cared about my well being. My life was ruined by moving schools, the pandemic, and my own mental health, it sucks, I feel like my “fun teenage years” have been robbed from me. I just wish things were simple again. Sorry if this was a lot, I just really needed to rant and get some things off my chest.
Happened to me last year and is happening again as my country goes back to online school. The first weeks were extremely easy and I was very organized and then I just got overwhelmed and dropped everything for months. Literally impossible to concentrate and I was so stressed that I felt ill for half a year.
Same, online class is just not that great for me, and im failing school even more
Been in the the same situation and I totally agree
It irks me that some education heads are trying to invade kids' free time as much as possible, and online classes helps with that.

Did you require that they provide you the laptop since you didn't want to install software you're not comfortable with on your own laptop? You could also say "Aww sorry, I'm running Linux, that software won't work".

I had to do the same thing when taking placement tests for my university, they ran a batch script upon me connecting to make sure I wasn’t using a virtual machine. Then when I showed my room, they were telling me to separate each of my blankets, and to take my pillows off. Like if I was hiding something in there. They didn’t have anything in terms of eye tracking, since they were recording the entire thing.

As a usually straight A's, high scoring student, this year has been incredibly challenging for me. Both because of the disorganization and the effect that isolation has had on my mental health.

So that you actually process the information? It sounds like you just don't understand the value of an education.
the point is we dont need education, to live life, I personally think anything above 9th-10th grade is just a waste of time, because tell me, when will you ever need to use sin cos tan log etc. when y=mx+b works miracles or sin cos and tan for trigonometry when you can just use a^2+b^2=c^2, or in English's case, can you understand all of this fairly clearly? then english doesnt matter above 9-10th grade either, because my writing skill hasn't changed one bit since 9th. also the fact 8 hours in basically prison doing nothing, with the unabillity to socialize with people because i don't like socializing irl, it makes me really uncomfortable
@@beansfebreeze I agree. And while you could in theory learn everything from the internet, let’s be honest, someone who couldn’t keep up with learning in school won’t usually have the drive and internal motivation to learn by themselves. Some kids just don’t have an interest in learning, and even if there’s something they’d actually want to learn they don’t know *how* to learn.
I'm gonna be honest. I've only learned a couple useful things in my classes this year. Teachers are too strained and overburdened to teach good, consistent lessons. Most student's are uninterested in school. People that I've talked too compare it to a 9-5 job than school. All of the interesting parts about highschool, field trips, events, football games, pep-rallys, ect have been stripped away because of covid. And your just left with work. Baron, and nothing in-between. It doesn't help that half of the student's aren't actually participating and class. And most districts are just picking their noses making half-assed decisions that don't really benefit anyone or make sense. A shitty situation made worse by bad management and overbearing student's and teachers. essentially.
Same here. The fact that our activities were broader and more engaging last year turned into a hauling unmemorable lump of coal. Christmas performance was supposed to be the greatest ever in our school's history but turned down to shite because our principal was to damn busy to sign the papers. Oh, and things gets worse by the time I got back home here. There's only one more week, but after 2 weeks learning like this, the school gave us the exact opposite thing they promised: screen time.
i have haven't been able to learn anything you get no special attention if you don't know something you cant really ask them to help isn't that the point of education? to learn from your mistakes.
Honestly I don’t really have a problem with the learning aspect of online school, in fact my grades are better than they would be in regular classes, but man I am sooo glad it’s over. My grades have been good, yes, but online school is SUPER taxing. My social life is nonexistent. I have never seen my classmates outside of brief glimpses, and know nothing of their personalities. So much for making friends, then.
Oh yeah the fact that online school is just raw school in its laziest most depressive state doesn't help LMAO field trips, dances, and sports games were the shit. Actually most of them weren't that great but at least I had friends to complain and make fun of it with. I haven't even talked with a person my age in-person in just over 6 months as I just moved and know nobody.
I feel so damn alone.
I had to do more work actually because the borders of when it's school time and when it's free time vanished. Teachers did more lessons than allowed, did them in our pauses, after or before our schooltime. They used the digital homework system to request work for under normal circumstances impossible times. Everything is documented, every little flaw saved and every moments of procrastination gets back at you heavily affecting your grades.
I don't really want to blame our teachers here, they did a good job in a new situation, just lacking the ability to understand certain consequences in the cyberspace.
This is a general problem with online school.
The only things I did in the pandemic was to "attend" online classes, sleep, play video games, and a whole lotta self-reflecting. I had so much free time to think about myself that I realized how irreversibly fucked I am. I don't want to keep going and I don't have any motivation to. I've stopped enjoying any sort of... well, anything. I am now a husk of my former self, without emotion, keeping on just for the sake of keeping on. I don't want to do this anymore. I wish I could go back to being 7 years old.
Edit: I've always had a rough life since I was born. It might've not looked like that on the outside, but I've had so many issues and difficulties before and after moving to a new city. Divorced parents, rough school life, no friends, you name it. So much shit piling up on my mental health. This got severely amplified once I moved to another city. I'm a dumbass and I didn't realize things until it got out of my control, hence, "irreversibly fucked". Things have gotten to the point of no return. The pandemic and the online school was just the last straw. To whoever is reading this, suicide is never the answer. You can get through whatever hurdle you're facing with help from the ones who love you, from the people that care. I wasn't left with such a choice. I think I've made up my mind. It's been an unfun ride. Have a good day.

I got into biology with the help of youtube and the internet, and then realized the only motivation to live is primal. Which is now why I can't really be bothered to do shit because in a few billion years we wont exist anyways.
This is basically what happened to me. I hope things get better for everyone soon.

honestly bro, you just gotta find some sorta purpose, whether it's a hobby, or someone, or just anything that you enjoy. Just try yo latch on to that, and get as much enjoyment as you can.
A HUGE part of school is the social aspect, something you can't replicate virtually.
In early May, our school adopted a hybrid education, where people could go to school in person, or choose to stay at home. I chose to stay at home because it was simply easier for me to study for my APs and finals due to the extra time in the day that online school provides. Most of my teachers would have a separate camera that pointed towards their in-person class, allowing online kids to see what the in-person kids are doing.
It felt so profoundly odd, seeing my peers interacting with each other in-person, while I sat at home in my room, silent, and without a smile on my face. I forgot how people used to just talk to each other. How every small interaction with each other brought such a sense of community and belonging. Meanwhile, I was sitting in my room. My desk is about 3 feet away from my bed, and all I have to do to go to school is wake up at the exact time school starts, and walk 3 feet over to my desk.
Online school is just so... empty. Sure, it was easier for me, because it gave me more time in the day, but it just sucks the soul out of school. Before, a lot of my motivation to come to school came from wanting to see everyone, and be a part of the busy and exciting crowd. I remember waking up some days, genuinely excited to see all my friends and some of my cool teachers in-person. Towards the end of online school, I had no motivation to wake up for school at all. In fact, sometimes I would log onto my classes from my phone with my camera off, so that I could remain in bed. I would make up some BS about "wifi problems" (although that actually did happen quite frequently and it just added to the annoyance of online school), and sleep for the entire period.
It's strange because it took me until January 2021 to finally come into terms with online school. I found a schedule that allowed me to focus on the things outside of school that I loved. It became oddly comfortable, and I was fine with ending the year the way it started. But when we went into hybrid education, and everyone else started going back, it kind of hurt, seeing how life used to be compared to how it is now. I even had a dream, where I was locked in some kind of closet, completely alone in the darkness. But between the cracks, I could see all my peers socializing without me, and it made me feel so sad. I woke up that day, and didn't even bother going to online school.
Lots of different perspectives huh
I agree man for the most part online school was incredibly easy for me but I found absolutely no motivation/desire to do anything or learn
I found the free time nice when I helped my family flip a house but it hurt a lot coming form hibrid learning to being hundreds of miles away from my friends back at school. What really hurt then most to see was just how separated you are from your friends at school. At the beginning of the pandemic I gave up toldly on school to walking around my town on the empty street which was vary strange and sad. Never in all the many places have I lived have I seen so many places close, makes me think a lot of people have been truly affected with the pandemic.
@@user-el6lt8fr3x same. like I don’t even think I actually studied or listened in my spanish or geometry classes this year, i kinda just took a few notes and winged every test and it definitely reflected in my grades.
Yeah the only reason I liked school is because of the other people there. In online school you have to do all the work by yourself
As someone autistic with ADHD, I'm good at studying online with pre-recorded sessions, sometimes I randomly study at 4 am just because that's where I'm the most awake and can hyperfocus and not get interrupted by people. Plus, I can listen to things on repeat if I don't get them the first time.
What would fuck me up though would be having to drag my ass at 8 am in front of the screen and be a lifeless zombie that is not allowed to move too much. THIS seems to be the real problem.
To be honest I am the same, when online classes started for me which was my senior year, i was actually able to get my grades up
I agree online for me has actually been beneficial
many of my teachers decided to go with pre-recorded classes, they were not wrong, much better
@@GBSZ12 my math teacher did some pre-recorded lessons to make up for the things we might have missed, and honestly they were great. I wish more teachers ended up doing that in my school.
@@ハーフ-r1m live zoom classes are not efficient, fixed time to join, people join late, keep asking to turn camera on, can't sit comfortably, pre-recorded you can watch whenever you want, flexible schedule, much better
My defense for school use to be the social aspects you can’t learn at home. Seeing your peers everyday has its benefits. Then I realized 90% of bonding occurs during extracurricular activities outside the classroom. Like sports and club activities.
School has always been about passing, than learning… the pandemic made it even more obvious. I felt like I barely learned anything from school. It was just about memorizing things. I learned more from UA-cam than I did from 14 years of schooling (including preschool and kindergarten).
School prioritizes perfection (at least the illusion of such) over progress
it genuinely feels like i lost a whole year of my education to the pandemic. despite still learning during the pandemic i have retained NOTHING and now im an incoming senior feeling like a sophomore since my entire junior year was a blur.
Exact same situation
YESss. I moved during the pandemic nearing the end of my sophomore year and adjusting to everything was terribly difficult. Different school, different schedule, can't see your friend anymore nor make new ones in person, mountains of schoolwork that was due the next day, I was just so out of it. It's June now and I am going to need to make up 2 or 3 classes that I failed this year, which is so not me. The lowest grades I got were C's and even then I'd get them up and make honor roll 9.5/10 of the time. A whole year of my life just sped by and I was alone for most of it. Don't even get me started with the higher standards that honors put on top of me. I am just glad that school will be done this Friday. But I got finals tomorrow 🙃.
I'm definitely going to join some sort of club next year.
Don't worry, that feeling would have persisted regardless of where you took classes.
I've always had a hard time retaining information. Like, the only way for me to do well on a test is to cram right before because say I were to pace it out through a whole week, I wouldn't remember what I studied the first 4 days by the time I had to take the test.
Also, I have zero motivation and very little interest in anything. I couldn't focus on school, especially when I was on my own laptop and addicted to Genshin Impact (game) lolol. Luckily I didn't do much online schooling, my school did make us go in person with a mask mandate (you could only do online classes if you had covid or had a covid scare.)
I feel like my life isn't going to go anywhere, and while I already pretty well knew that this pandemic has played a small part in it too. I don't remember ever having motivation for my future, but it only started bothering me when I was in high school. I graduated high school this year and am planning to go to college this August. Here's the problem: I'm not motivated, I don't know where I want my future to go, I don't think I have enough passion for my hobbies let alone doing them to live, I don't even want to go to college because it seems meaningless. A college degree gets you almost nothing nowadays, just lifelong debt.
I'm honestly scared for my future. I don't think I even have a future.
I graduate high school in 17 days and I can say this year has been hell. Teachers must think we all have 48 hours in each day as they basically doubled up in the work given and the stress. And to add insult to injury I transferred to a new school this year so I don’t have anyone to socialize with in class which means I spend most of my time at home playing online games instead of doing my hw just to stop myself from going insane and talking to the voices
Started high school with this crap. Can’t wait for another three years, hopefully this bs either ends or improves in some shape or form
Edit: changed four to three because I can’t to basic math at four am.
I understand the part about not having anyone to talk to because you transferred

You're better off teaching yourself using the internet
Then you obviously didnt do your homework. Can only blame yourself.
How is that any different from any other typical school year though, bu dum tish.
@@oliveryt7168 Do you have the slightest idea how hard it is for most students to sit in their bedroom 6-7h every day completely isolated and watch prerecorded low quality videos from their teachers and after that solving some bullshit homework papers that are probably never going to be corrected?
I myself actually quit my school because of the horrendous methods the teachers used.
Especially giving us 20 essays due tomorrow, and after that they didn't even count them towards our grade, the grade was basicall compiled of those stupid ass tests we did (with topics we never even had) and exams (with topics we never even had) that made up 50% of our final grade. I was pretty down and nearly actually had a panic attack because it was do damn much.
All in all, a big f you to my ex Italian teacher, she was by far the worst, I'm actually glad I left that school, I feel way better now,
Damn, if you think life is hard to deal with now...got some bad news for you.

Haha. Adapt to new efficient ways of learning.. before Teams and Zoom, I was largely a straight A student, only had a B in two classes, and I'm a junior in high school taking majority college level courses. This year, I'm failing 4 classes, have a D in one, B- in another, and A+ in my easy class. My previous structure used to be 7 periods every day. Short bursts, always run into friends, different subjects kept me from sleeping. This year, it was either half your classes with a quarter of the students every day, or permanently online. I hate this. I really hate this. Firstly, it doubled or even trippled some class time. I have ADHD. I cannot keep focus, and cannot focus even more at home, where to me, I'm allowed to RELAX. At school, I'm meant to work, because THATS WHAT YOU DO. NOT at home, or at least not the same work. It also proved difficult with instructions being unclear, notes being harder to be aware of, talking with classmates and group projects being more awkward, and overall the depression that comes with being in a lonely environment where you never saw anyone, and were forced to be alone at home.
It should be added, that last year in my second semester of sophomore year, instead of forcing zoom classes, if you had good grades in a class, you were no longer required to attend class or do homework. Meaning essentially, I've missed a whole half or more of a semester of work from last year that proved necessary for me to try to progress this year, meaning I was missing material that was "expected of me".

Thank god I graduated in 2019. This shit is dogass. However don't sweat it too much. Not doing amazing in HS isn't gonna change your life that much and getting into a dream college shouldn't be a priority. Go to community college if you need to, or just don't go to college if you don't want to.
i don't have adhd, so maybe it's objectively better for you to study in school. but for me, distance work\learning is the best thing ever. it cuts down on transport pollution too, if nothing else
i have a terrible home life so trying to fit in a "school environment" here was impossible. on the day of march 13th when i found out the news, i ran to the bathroom and just cried. i completely failed this year but i honestly dont care, its the people around me who do which is annoying tbh. but i have to admit that im grateful for truly learning about how shitty the school system and world is in general

@@alpharius2omegaboogaloo384 How Malevolence Works
We have both a collective and personal shadow, which is the collective unconscious and the subconscious. The entirety of MK ULTRA, clandestine operations: unacknowledged special access programs, Illuminati in-fighting, ancestral trauma (epigenetics), Artificial Intelligence, false timelines work through the subconscious. There is a amnesia wall that is built as a buffer, which works to conceal the truth of the human condition.
I”m yet to find a satisfactory answer for our reason to be here; the idea of a single unified reason seems unsatisfactory, when as we know, even our own ego-states do not have a single unified reason to co-operate with each other. However, I think it’s reasonable to say that most of us do not like murder, or rape, or torture, or abuse, or pedophilia, or deception, or lies. So regardless of our differences we could generally describe Evil as that which is in opposition to our real nature, which is compassionate, which is good.
Ordinarily we don’t want to participate in that which is Evil, we are naturally good, so those that are malevolent have used a spiritual and legal loophole, using deception to co-opt us for their usage. Within the Illuminati this is blatantly obvious, as we have personalities that are designed to do things we would normally never do, for example: during a ritual a group of us murdered an innocent person and then ate them. Well I’m not a murderer, and I’m not a cannibal, so how did this happen? Well it works within a framework of consent, which roughly equates to “they committed this action which is Evil, and they weren’t strong enough to resist, therefore they accepted the Evil act, therefore it cannot be Evil because those that are Good accepted it.” So the natural function of being a human is overwritten with laws that favor the perpetrator. You can justify anything when you play this game. Evil thinks what they’re doing as good. It’s just they lack the fundamental intelligence of compassion, which is higher dimensional in nature, so it never really is good.
So much of this video details exactly what I'm going through in college. I've been challenged to organize and motivate myself in an isolated environment and I completely failed. I have since given up completely to soon be consumed by the incoming mountain of student debt that will swallow me whole all in the span of a year online university. I have no life skills and no way to deal with what is to come. I'm living on a lifeline maintained by a string of lies that will soon be cut. At least now I know that I'm not alone.
i felt this very hard
Damn dude. Best of luck to you, truly
I’m lucky that even though I live in a country that has even worse education than the US at least I don’t have to deal with student debt
I used to think that sitting in class, checking the clock every 5 seconds was painful. But, honestly, sitting at home stuck in a zoom meeting and still checking the clock every 5 seconds is so much worse.
At least at school, when the time was up, I could expect to go in another environment. Now, when class is over, I just close zoom and I stay in my room.
I used to have a lot of friends when I was in school, like also, a lot of teachers where very nice to me, but unfortunately, all of it is now lost to time, I used to love my school days, yeah sure there a few times where bad stuff would happen, but now, I feel all of my life has been drained and replaced with an empty void, I can only hope that I manage to go trough this year of school and have a, maybe not good, but just a decent grade, this whole google classroom shit really pisses me off, is not effective, is confusing, is empty and basically, trash.

I think i get how you feel. I’m incredibly anxious and when the pandemic started, I was relieved that I wouldn’t have to be constantly in a stressful social environment (it’s very draining), but it just made my anxiety even worse for me.
This. Even when I'm in a zoom with friends I can barely push out a sentence anymore.

I’m just barely passing, I’ve disappointed my parents all year, and I learned pretty much nothing. This all happened 2 months after I moved to a new state too, so I have no friends here. Plus being stuck in the house all day, on the internet and hearing about all the news just made it so much worse. I’ve just felt nothing this past year. It sucks man.
the bad grades part and learning nothing part i can relate to :/
I've been seeing people either flipping crap, or simply giving up and not trying to make the most of the situation.
Same
samee, last year the school had sm issues with implementing online learning that we literally went from around 8 hours of classes a day to just 1 hour. I didn't learn jackshit the entire year and either way, before lockdown I was in such a bad living situation (which I avoided as much as possible by being outside all the time) that now I was forced to face 24/7 that I couldn't keep the mental strength to get anything done the entire year. I ended up moving out to another city and changing to a new school, which I thought would somehow make things better, but even though online classes are now implemented properly, I barely know anybody in this place and feel lonely AF
I relate to you so much. I haven't moved but I have felt very lonely this year and have felt like a complete disappointment to my parents for letting my grades drop massively :(
I realised how bad it was when my teacher thought I was a model student just because i didn't cheat and because I turn my camera on in classes, when I don't even remember a single lecture of hers.

saame it was so depressing
Back before the pandemic, i used to have friends, now because of this poor excuse of face-to-face school, and all that bubble bullshit i lost the only friends i had.
my school ends in two days. i haven’t seen my school friends all year and i tried my hardest last year to get closer to them. but that was when my anxiety was at its peak and anxiety attacks were more common for me. it felt like so much of a risk to try to get closer (even though it’s definitely not) and i just wanted to give up. now im going to a different school next year so i won’t be able see them again on a daily basis. it fucking sucks. im gonna miss them so much. plus i already know a friend group at my new school and they’re full of red flags…

I do not even have my own room where I can focus on making assignments and other school projects. It's so uncomfortable to turn your cam and mic on when they can see family members pass by behind you. It's just plain depressing and soul-crushing.
This needs to be talked about more to be honest.
honestly, coming from someone with the same situation as you, i've just given up completely on caring about my family in the background. to me at least if you think of it as something like "the teacher doesnt actually care whether you have the cam on", it becomes much less uncomfortable
Fair point. But honestly I wish I was with my family.
Moved out, lockdown hit, social life= stillbirth. Dead in the water before it took off.
Still only have one actual friend and have been living here for 9 months. It's getting better though, I should propably just become proactive again.

With online school the teachers showed this apparently. 30 minutes late half the time, go finds props for 15 minutes (science teacher both) 15 minute classes, broken devices
I’ve heard the word ‘open (this/that)’ more than ‘you’ tbh
Also school: Hey Lets Keep Doing It.
Also, what is else that suck? Doing PE on zoom class
I was actually taking online school before the pandemic with a company called Virtual High School, an online school that has operated here in Canada since 1999. From looking at the online work given to my friends for their pandemic schooling, it's clear to me that the public school systems have no idea how to properly design online learning. With my online school, all course content is available for the students to complete at their own pace, and they can ask the teacher for help if they need it. However with the online learning set up by the public schools, there's hidden content, missing content, broken links, and the kids are forced to sit in zoom or google meetings for no reason for long periods of time, time they could be using to actually do work. Online learning, if properly supported by other social activities and designed well, can be a very good experience and I have personally enjoyed it a lot, but the way the school systems have introduced it is absolutely abysmal.
True the education system has no idea what they are even doing
Online school isn't for everyone, shit I'm an A student predominantly then covid happened. Some professors care and others don't. Honestly if I'm being real honest my work ethic/ engagement to care about what the professor is saying is based on how much they care about the content they teach. If you're gonna treat online education like fast-food, you're going to get fast food levels of effort out of me. Not because I'm bitter I just learned that knowing when to try is worth it the effort. Imagine working at 110% for every professor/course or curriculum you registered for even though the professors themselves don't do the same. Shit gets old fast.
I do the same, I told this shit to my dad and he just said "we all have responsabilities" like yrah no shit my teacher just send my a fucking video and 30 questions and call it a day why should I even put effort into it
That isn't something specific to online courses.
Same here. Until I met my university teacher of mathematics, I hated math with a passion. Without him, I would have never found a way to learn what I needed to apply in advanced classes. All thanks to a bunch of BS teachers, who didn't care for their own knowledge in the field. It doesn't matter, whether you learn from a teacher in class or at home. Hell, I've learned here on youtube more about computer networking than at school!
i hate it bc i need to keep up with more than 10 classes, i had no choice to be there but if i fail it basically means i fail in life, the worse of all is bc i have so much mental and physical health issues together with my sick mom and grandpa. when i used to go to school itself i could atleast learn a tiny bit and talk with my friends but now things are impossible to me, just thinking about school make me have panik attacks, this shit makes me feel stupid and worthless...
Yeah.. Especially you've been doing that 110% for bloody year's, have this shite happen & then when you email asking for assistance (was a rarity in my entire time in college I'd normally bang myself against the metaphorical wall till it near drove me insane & asked for some minor assistance..) On something that was unclear or to enquire about how group projects are to work when one person drops out ghosting the tutors, students & college admin.. Or yea just emailing for assistance on something, having no response for two weeks at a time by which point you've thrown yourself against enough metaphorical walls again & again you figured it out shortly before the "immovable" deadline when assignments both theory & practical course work are all done give or take one & a half or two months before you finally graduate...
Sure you can get out with top marks.. Tho that helps little when the availability of work has dwindled so much & the only people employers will even look for an "entry level job" with shite pay must have a minimum of 3 - 5+ years experience in the industry + commercial experience + "x", level of degree + whatever else they can throw on top while paying £18,000 - £20,000...
It's near impossible to get your foot to the door never mind through the door..
online school isn't learning, it's just a test of self discipline
Man you hit the nail on the head
Regular school isn't learning either though lmao
“Don’t let school get in the way of ur education”
we might as well just rip off the "online" part
this is so unfortunately accurate
I agree, I had no self discipline so I barely passed most of my classes when I had a 80 on average before online school.
This just shows how everyone learns differently. Online classes didnt work for me since i need a way to seperate free time and work time. I struggled with high school but college (in person) worked well for me.
I feel like options for education could help everyone, but i understand that probably won't happen due to the extra work that would need to be put in
Here's a neat case in irony: I am barely passing my Spanish class, and I'm a native spanish speaker. Why? Well because all of it was just dumbass projects that didn't adapt well at all with online. My attitude towards the class doesn't help but the way the class was taught, and how it was just so repetitive and dull and _unengaging_, I always thought I'd rather be doing something else, so I went and did other classes work instead of that, simply because it was just so dull.
And this also went the other way around with some other classes. The online mode just sucks ass and I hate it
My take is projects and tests should be the only factor in grades, if grades are going to be the only numbers students are defined by. Homework and awful busywork offers no value to a student’s learning, unless it’s for memorization purposes. If a student is doing well enough on their tests, they shouldn’t be forced to do homework.
...When your slowly forgetting how to speak your native language.. not to mention, you're fluent at your native language but this year has been changing you a lot.
This year has made a huge impact on me than I thought it would.. jeesh.
Same I’m a Spanish speaker but now that I’m no longer somewhere where I speak Spanish constantly, school has not been able to keep me speaking fluently (because the way they teach Spanish or languages in general is flawed), online school has made it tough to keep up with classwork when I was online.
Well, that is the problem of the course... odds are, that you weren't exactly engaged in the class either... at least compared to how much it was possible to engage you.
Yes yes yes, I live in a country that doesn’t speak English, and I’m totally bilingual even leaning more towards English being my native language, AND I FAILED ENGLISH BECAUSE OF A PROJECT, I feel like shit, especially when my classmates who aren’t native speakers passed, besides that, I used to be a high achiever who spoke ( or was at least at a pretty advanced learning level in) 4 languages, but through lack of practice and caring I now can’t even understand them very well, I feel awful about myself and like all my purpose has vanished
Just scroll through the comments here Glink and realize what you've done. You've helped hundreds of kids and young adult uni students by giving them an outlet to speak on how they feel, and the suffering they've endured. Through that, they can begin to move on from it. You've helped them a lot more than you ever could even realize.
Anybody else imagining how their lives would have turned out if it weren't for remote learning?
I got sick at the start of the pandemic, so I'm glad remote learning happened 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Seeing these comments makes me sad. I graduated college a year before this covid shit. You guys future was burned down and stolen by garbage school boards who never liked yall. If this online trash happened to me I definitely be a drop out. Wouldn't care either.
@@Treyson007 Plus the woman in charge of subjects and stuff for my college screwed up my timetable by removing one of my classes by replacing it with Motion Design or some s***. I had no laptop or computer during the 1st 3 months of Lockdown, so I failed the class. From there I lost all motivation and stopped attending altogether. But it was still a blessing since I got sick anyway lol. Wouldn't want my friends asking me annoying questions.
g i wouldve been accepted into the high school thatd benefit me 😭😭😭
Yep
I had a professor who told us (the guys in class) are not allowed to wear hats in class. We're in our fucking bedrooms. It's a bit baffling.
I never understood teachers trying to control children's personal life and property
@@MassachusettsTrainVideos1136 that's what school is.. to make us good drones
Your teacher is probably a dumbass don’t let him control your life. Otherwise he will make you looklike stupid forever and dumb
@@MassachusettsTrainVideos1136 they used to do that shit when I was in school
It feels like school is invading my home. With Online Learning, what’s supposed to be a relaxing room, becomes a cage, where I have no choice but to turn on my computer, and listen to the teacher droning on about something I don’t care about. At least, I could turn off my camera, and slack off in most classes. I was also lucky to be able to attend school, full time, after a while.
I feel like my entire soul is drained from my body and I am now a monster looking creature with eyebags and almost dead. Damn school stopped being fun after 3rd Grade.
I got to go back to school back in March ish of this year and it felt soo good to be back after that online school stuff it didn't take long for all my anxiety and shit to go away because I finally got to relax more
Online class increased my social anxiety 10x
So instead of slacking off with your camera off, you want to sit in an actual cage (they lock you up during clases in most schools now) listenint to the teacher droning on about something you dont care?
@@StrazdasLT The learning experience somehow feels better, when you actually go to class.
There could've been so many better alternatives than zoom calls, and schools had so much time to think about them. Still, they decided to choose the worst possible option for both teachers and students. I personally live in constant stress, while trying to find the motivation to do all of this, putting more effort into my assignments than it's needed, taking into account that teachers will most likely not stop to appreciate it. These type of videos are the reason I love youtube, and I can tell you did this with love and dedication, so you've just gained a new subscriber. Thank you
I was wondering what could have been a better alternative?
@@pandintea have a platform in which the professor can upload the explanation of the different topics, so the student can access these as he needs them. Then, have a zoom meeting for any questions and doubts. This saves up time for both the teachers and students. The thing schools got wrong was that they tried to emulate regular school as if nothing had happened, but there's no way you can in an online format. Online learning works, but not in the way they handled things, that being with online classes. It's very inefficient and tiring for both the teachers and students.
@@sir.santiago5922
Thats what I’m saying!! We’re wasting away spending eight 45 minute periods. Majority of the time we’re quiet. When we are being taught, it’s rushed as hell. There’s not enough time for our questions because we have 5 minutes left. Not only that, now we have to spend the rest of the day trying to finish the work you made due the same day. On top of that, we still have personal lives we’re dealing with. It’s hell.
These teachers are literally doing the bare minimum!! It’s so frustrating! For my English class our teacher doesn’t even read our papers, the net tutor and our peers do all the work for her bc she has taken on a bunch of other classes smh. It’s a terrible setup all around.
For one of my most difficult courses last year, the lecturer give use slides with brief audio annotations made by him, and a few questions. It didnt take long to go through, and honestly it was the course I learnt the most from, and it was notorious for being hard. Meanwhile I just couldnt care about 2 hour and 3 hour zoom calls
You know what is scarier that the authority in charge of higher education in my country just released a draft to introduce blended learning into the system, slowly phasing it to 70% online teaching and 30% offline teaching permanently.
Yeah that's terrible, it seems the people running things lately are absolutely awful, especially here in the US... It's so embarrassing to be led by people that had to cheat their way into office...
Rip
Get out of school fast
@@highflux5402 yeah, I have around 3 years left of law school
I'm fine with that tbh
I didn't experience zoom learning, but one thing I have an issue with regarding school is that not everyone is gonna understand the same topic of a subject at the same pace. I always struggled with geometry and even more so with probability in school. But algebra? I was bored out of my mind that's how easy it was for me. Something like Khan Academy is amazing because it allows you to spend as much or as little time as you need on a given topic. Another thing that I've noticed on KA and other online learning platforms is that people really aren't afraid to ask really dumb questions. And I mean questions they had the answer to, if only they payed attention to the video lecture. When was the last time a student raised their hand when a teacher asked if everyone understands the topic? So it baffles me that there are teachers who elect to structure their zoom lecture as if it was a regular classroom.
This
i didn’t learn anything this last year, i just graduated yesterday but it feels like i haven’t been in school for 2 years
hopefully the next 2 years will be better
@@GlinkBetweenWorlds Amen to that.
i practically survived my year just trying to pass everything in some form or way. before at least i had some form of fun and learned something.
It's so weird seeing all these comments about their experiences with online schooling. I remember that before the pandemic broke out, people were complaining about going to school physically. Now everyone's complaining about not going to school physically and having a worse time off being taught from home.
I think this is the pure definition of 'You never know what you have until it's gone'.
True, but I think it also goes to show just how bad and broken school can be.
(FYI, I live in the states, no clue how bad the education system is elsewhere)
i think the school system has been broken for a while
I don't really agree with that quote, considering switching from physical school to online school is like going from having one broken arm to two.
To me, it paints having to go to physical school as just a simple minor annoyance, rather than something that has driven kids to pain. But I completely agree with everything else.
@@monamona164 I, too, live in the states, yet I've seen first hand how bad and broken a school board can be. Even though I was fortunate enough to go to a good school, it was just something else witnessing just how messed up it could get.
@@sweetenlemons8659 Yeah, a minor annoyance that most people wouldn't dare force themselves to use their full brain powers on (myself included).
But yeah, not everyone might agree with such a quote in this context.
The worst academic year I’ve ever had, I was a sophomore. First semester I was doing alright, but with all that time having no social interactions and waking up just to look at a screen and *try* to learn something wasn’t for me. I missed a few classes and it made my grades fall. That then made work pile up for me making my grades fall even more. I completely just gave up then and stopped attending some classes where I was failing.
damn... kinda weird seeing other people in your exact same situation...
