The benefits of promoting offline teaching!

We are prepared for small adjustments as we move past the pandemic when all students must be in the classroom as compared to blended learning and online school. Many parents still believe that online education is necessary to protect their kids from the pandemic as it continues to surprise us. Others, though, are intrigued by the thought of having their kids return to school and pick up where they left off with their routine.

Teachers and students struggled to adjust to online classrooms at the beginning of the pandemic since the format had never been tried. We are now better equipped than ever to deal with issues like these in the education sector. However, with time, students managed to strike a balance, and teachers used online classes to engage their cherished pupils. Both of them were eager to resume normal life and start things off the way they had left them. Although we must make some adjustments to physical classes as well after taking online lessons and understanding how there are things that are left unexplored. 

The following is a list of benefits that face-to-face instruction has over internet instruction:

Social interaction: In addition to imparting knowledge, offline programs are designed to help students develop internally. Every student's development at school or in any after-school program involves significant psycho-socio development. Children learn about the differences between people, how people prefer to be treated, how to get along with their classmates, and how to lead a group when they engage with one another.

Discipline: For a child to grow into a responsible adult, they must learn the values of punctuality, manners, respect, compassion, and a regular schedule.

Beyond the Gadgets: Despite living in a world fueled by technology, our children must maintain their youthfulness for as long as possible. Students' screen time has exploded as a result of taking classes online, and this is the ideal moment to cut it back. Interaction is the foundation of offline education. a skill that we are gradually losing because of the internet. Although a child in a classroom has a relatively short attention span, exchanging notes, eating their lunch in secret, and chit-chatting with classmates are still preferable to staring at a computer or smartphone screen for hours on end.

Hands-on learning: In a traditional classroom, teachers might show pupils real-world examples of ideas and objects they are reading about in textbooks. Students can see objects that can be shown to interest and engage in concepts that may otherwise seem dull. 

Physical Activities: In between classes, students are given time to play and run around. They have chances to take part, show off their athletic prowess, and remain active.

Student-teacher bond- The relationship between a teacher and pupil is sincere and is characterized by unwavering love and respect. For many years, there has been an unmatched bond between students and teachers. This has been kept up via appropriate interaction and vigilance, which must be increased with each passing year. 

We would have never known how these things were significant in a kid's development of personality if there was no pandemic. We explored many innovations that facilitated online learning and now we must also adopt techniques that equally help in escalating the offline mode of instruction.
