The Covid 19 virus affected the whole world by disrupting our normal daily life especially our educational system. This pandemic challenged the education department on how they will continue to provide effective system for children to continue learning even if it’s limited to on-line classes.
In the beginning, most parents were skeptical how this on-line class will work, it’s all new to us, so many what ifs & will it be worth it questions. My daughter has been studying in SMA since nursery & from then on we’ve put our trust in the school to give quality service. When the pandemic came, they conducted a free on-line class to give parents idea on how it will work, and from how it went, we were able to trust them that they can guarantee quality education without giving us parents the hassle of worrying how we teach our kids. Two years had gone by so fast and I can attest that SMA stayed true to its promise that they will be the one to teach our kids & not us, we parents are just guides.
My daughter learns new things everyday from her teachers, surprised that she is able to this & that, became more computer literate, can still communicate with her classmates on their group works & share their creativity in different fields. Every now & then, I would hear them perform as individual or group, short skits, sing & recite poems, having them filmed themselves do household chores, planting and even cooking. We all adjusted to this new normal. It has pros & cons but all I can say is that SMA has been very flexible enough to find & create ways to give quality education to our kids with high regards to moral values, love for God & respect to our nature.
