Homeschooling has always been an option in the Philippines, as it is globally. However, now with the current COVID-19 pandemic, it’s a requirement. School will not be opening this coming academic year and homeschooling is the current normal.
Homeschooling is an inevitable byproduct of the COVID-19 pandemic. Until there is a vaccine, schools will not be allowed to re-open. This is a safety precaution to ensure the health of our children and a step in the direction of stopping the spread of this disease.
With the help of the education system and local schools, parents are now taking on the responsibility of teaching their children at home. Some have chosen to get the modules themselves whilst others have opted for online classes. Both have their benefits and both can produce amazing results for the children.
Homeschooling Has It’s Setbacks Though
With the ongoing restrictions and lockdown in many areas lingering, homeschooling offers another issue. Where to set up a home classroom? The dining room or kitchen table is an option. However, for a busy family in a working home this can lead to many other issues. Also, you want to get your children away from all the distractions of TV’s and computer games. The laptop or computer needs to be set aside at this time for educational purposes only.
We all want our children to learn and be successful. So, the best route to take is to create an environment that is peaceful and conducive to learning. To do this, a separate area just for learning is ideal. Much like a classroom. It gives the children the comfort of knowing they are in an educational space. Furthermore, they will be more respectful of the space as well as less distracted.
Limited Space For Homeschooling?
Space can then become an issue. Very few Filipino families were expecting to be needing a separate space for homeschooling when they made their home- buying decisions. Many areas, especially in larger families, are always in use one way or another. And to take away some of this space specifically for homeschooling can lead to hiccups and disruptions in the daily lives of our families.
Of course, everyone is willing to make sacrifices for the education of their children. But the truth is even with the advancements in vaccines and the testing going on we have no idea when this will end. Or if and when things will ever go back to the way they were. Furthermore, we have no idea what restrictions will be in store for our children and schooling in the future.
