Answer 1

1.COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by a virus known as coronavirus. Since medicines to treat this has not yet discovered and no vaccinatons are there to prevent this diseases , the only way to fight against this is hand washing and social distancing. Since school is an educaional institution where group of students comes in contact with each other. Therefore, the only measure to take is online classes as direct usual classes cannot be conducted. In-addition the academic year has started, the only way to cover the portions is through online classes to the students.

2.mainstream education is the education given to those children who have disabilities and they need to adjust with their non-disabled students andto help them adapt to the demands of a regular-education class. So for such students, the online classes have created a great impact. They feel much distress and stress while teaching because they do not get special attention from teachers. and the teachers also cannot control these students and help them in their studies. They cannot have direct contact with the students, This can negatively impact their education also. Since these children cannot mingle with the normal students they cannot show any improvement in their character which can affect their mental development.

3.students are really stressed because of this drastic change. the main reason is that most of them are not aware about the online classes, especially parents who are uneducated or have less education,or who do not know how to use smartphones etc create stress and anxiety to both parents and children. Students feel many difficulties once lessons are taught because they cannot clear the doubts by asking to the teacher and also, sometimes there will be network issues that can affect the class. So, really students are worried, stressed, anxiety.

4. For time-being it is an appropriate decision to unchange the fee structure. Now due to lockdown may parents who are struggling for the survival feels little relaxed as there is no increase in the fee structure. most of the parents have lost their job and therfore, it is even diffcult for them to pay the normal fee. So, this is a good decision.

5for majority cases this onlineclasses are difficult because may areas students have no internet faility or televison to attend online classes. And also proper attention cannot be given to the students by tecahers. In addition most of the parents who are wokrning ususlly go to office where mobile will be left home for students to attend the classes. This can again have negatve impact as the students spend their time in mobiles wothout interst in studies.
