I just wanted to drink my coffee

 During the second lockdown we, education students, were obligated to teach our host class on zoom. The way it worked was we would make very descriptive lesson plans, we would send them to the host teacher and the pedagogical advisor lesson plan and we would teach it on zoom. There are a lot of positive sides to teaching from afar but like the upsides, there is a surplus number of downsides. One very cold, gloomy, and grey day I was woken up in a panic because I had heard my air conditioner turn off and my phone lit. I thought to myself "OH NO THERE IS A BLACKOUT!!!". I rushed out of bed and checked the mainboard to see if the problem was only in my own personal house or if the problem was in the whole neighborhood. I was saddened by the fact that the problem was unfixable since it was in the whole entire neighborhood. One of the main problems where I live is that if there is a blackout there is also no phone service. I had no way of notifying the host teacher and the pedagogical advisor what had happened. It was a long five minutes until I was able to hold on to a little bit of service and then I rushed to inform all that I was not able to teach. I was so annoyed, frustrated, and sad because I had made a very fun, rich, and good lesson and I realized that I wasn't going to teach it that same morning.

A Difference

Does school actually benefit students? Is it actually useful? The way I see it: school teaches students how to make a life but not how to live it. What do I mean by that…? Let us see. 

Teachers shove information 24/7 into student’s brains, which surely makes them academically smart. They can use that knowledge to build a better future for them and their work life. I think that is beneficial, right? By using this knowledge, you can achieve great things. In my opinion that is the only thing where school actually helps them. For their future and their work life. However, what about the other life aspects?
