Answer 1

Making online classes is tough job on daily basis. Every teacher needs to be technically strong and should have good management skills. Such classes take extra time than normal classes and create a sense of isolation leading to loss of interest in studies with lesser clear facts about the topics.

Online classes can only focus on theory parts rather than practical, thereby leading to more of effort but lesser of understandings. The instructors have to just keep presenting their notes or words of knowledge but can't interact with the students after a little extent.

Children lose interest very easily as they know that there is actually nobody present near them to poke them for mistakes or to clear their issues, etc.

Online classes are very tiring as they tend to consume a lot of time preparing notes then in delivering them without or with lesser genuine feedbacks.

Online classes makes everyone to sit in a stable position nearly or more than for an hour in front of cameras to attend the classes and the teacher has to speak thoroughly with full explanations for that whole time, to make the topic thorough. It consumes a huge amount of energy, time and effort.
