Together, we stand protected.

The pandemic is many things— difficult, aggravating, and tough, and even more so for the children who are extremely affected. We have been overworking ourselves twice the amount we had to for normal classes. Not only that, but those who have a hard time coping with lessons have no one else to turn to; busy parents, no guardians, or occupied siblings with their own work cut out for them. On top of all that, our wishes to implement academic break have all been ignored. Children are also under strict supervision, being unable to meet outside for projects with groupmates, and only rely on gadgets to follow class schedules. Must this go on? I believe that the halting of classes for the time being is already a big help to everyone. If face to face classes are not allowed, at least give us the time to take care of ourselves; young and old, students and adults.
