When I was in school (1990s), I used to have classes from 9 am to 3.30 pm from Monday to Friday everyday except national holidays and school vacations.
After school, I will stay at home or go out to play with friends or visit my relatives home and have fun and not the least will have homework to complete before the next working day else the punishment follows.
Now, 20 years later, I see we are moving towards virtual classes. Where
No classroom with table, chair
No blackboard
No common playground
No class representative / leader
No school canteen
No after school chocolate / ice seller
No after school Amla seller
No cycling to school
No mark sheet signature beating
No cursing teacher for giving less marks
No interest in going school to see my crush
No color dress for my birthday
No standing in line for prayers
No geometric box
No school bag
No shoe polish
No video games (Mario, Contra) connecting to TVs
Many more to say.... List goes on....
Virtual classes requires
Computer
Internet
Softwares
School Whatsapp group, Teacher is admin
Scorecards to parents Mail / whatsapp
Download lessons and read, no tuitions...
Exams and results online
Marksheets will reach you online
All digital signature
All these happened in just 15 to 20 years
Never expected this
Where will we be in next 5 years
I feel very proud of my schoolings
I feel I'm blessed
Thank God
