We only wanted what would be the best for us. Who would want quantity, over quality, when the outcome would only result for damage goods, and unsatisfactory services? Similar to education and the new modalities that were presented to the mass commonly known nowadays as distant learning having two options – asynchronous, and synchronization of classes using what was available. Gadgets for apps that would be a medium for a network channeling lectures and discussion. Put forth, it doesn’t only end there. Of course, the Department of Education (DepEd) accommodates and laid out plans to have a satisfactory result, when it comes to learning in relation and aid of some government organizations having the same goal. To attain and acknowledge factors that could possibly affect or lead to progress and continues improvement of it, while the normal classroom settings is still unavailable, because of the pandemic. An approach that was more effective, yet except for less-fortunate people. Not to be a bias, but a reminder not to overlook the real situation that’s happening right now. A few had privileges to afford some things for that matter, while many or a lot of struggles. Needless to say, going back to what was mentioned. Thereof saying things that would be a best assessment for the Distance Learning Modalities. First and foremost, one on one conferences. It was said to be efficient. Claiming that conferencing can raise an early red flag regarding student progress, allowing you to respond to a problem immediately, rather than at the end of a unit (Gray, 2020). Teachers are able to assess immediate concern for the students’ progress. Moreover, digital quizzes, higher order thinking assignments, and lastly digital writing discussions that would test their critical analysis, and non-verbal capabilities in class. In regards to what the system wanted to sough after, yet a reminder for some, since there are reports that there are teachers, who instead being considerate had piled up works among the students leading to pressure, lack of sleep, and deterioration of health. Therefore, we are struggling on our own, all are having difficulti3s, and the one least can do is to understand the situation, hereby speaking not to invalidate the burdens of how some are dwelling into life.
