Remote Learning During the Pandemic  

By Ethan DeSalvo  

Remote learning throughout Covid-19 has been a different experience and has presented many learning curves for students. These learning curves have proved difficult for students, but it has also provided teachers the time and situation to adapt to these types of situations and to be better prepared for the future if something similar where to happen. Remote learning has its downfall such as students are not paying attention and doing something else, and the many distractions of one's home. Covid-19 has also forced us to adapt to learning when school is out whether it be due to a pandemic or because of a snow day or something in the school breaks. Remote learning could eliminate the use of snow days though it has its setbacks for that such as power being down in a certain area in a town, and the many distractions of home life. The major problem with remote learning is that schools are designed to be the perfect learning environments with little to no distractions, whereas learning at home is filled with the distraction of siblings, parents, and the household pet.  

 

Remote learning is fairly new to the world following the pandemic. One of the biggest problems is the disconnect from school and the teachers. Now here at Wheatland-Chili, we have the option for students to go to school for 4 days with the exception of remote Wednesday, but there are students whose parents see it too much of a risk to send them to school even though they desperately need to be with a teacher in person to learn. Another issue with some students being full remote and even the only going into school for 2 days is that humans are social creatures much like dogs or primates. The major issue is that we aren't getting enough social interactions with different people the only interactions we are getting is from our immediate family. That isn't healthy. We NEED the interaction of others. Without human interaction humans can fall into self-destructive states of mind as well as have hostile moods towards others when they start to interact with other people once again.

This aircraft was one of the most widely used and produced of the Luftwaffe. Its first taste of combat came during the Spanish  C ivil  W ar, in 1936, and stayed in service up until 1965 under the Spanish Airforce. Its most notable use was during World War  II , fighting for the 3 rd  Reich from 1939 to 1945.   The Bf-109, also commonly known as the Me-109, was one of very few aircraft that remained in service throughout  W orld  W ar  II  and was still able to hold its own against the ever more advanced allied aircraft.

Originally created in 1934 by the German air ministry to be the first modern monoplane desig...
