Umlilo we-Dumpster. Ukwehluleka kabanzi. Ihlaya elibi . Kuningi okulotshiwe mayelana nokufunda okukude ngokombono we-harried we abazali futhi othisha . Futhi iningi lempendulo eshayelwa abantu abadala isukela kokubekela inselele kuye ku- inhlekelele futhi ezimbi izingane . Kukhona nedlanzana elincane kodwa elikhulayo lemindeni eyenzelwe yona imigqa esiliva yokwenza isikole ekhaya ziyanqwabelana. Kodwa nokho, alahleka kukho konke ukunyakaziswa kwezandla nokuklebhulwa kwezinwele amazwi alabo abashanelwe kulolu shintsho lolwandle: izingane— U-50% wabo usafunda bekude isikhathi esigcwele kulokhu kuwa.
Besifuna ukwazi ukuthi yini bona cabanga ngeqiniso labo eliqhubekayo langempela. Ngakho sababuza.* Izindaba ezinhle ukuthi izingane ziyazivumelanisa nezimo, futhi kwezinye izimo, ziyachuma ezindaweni zokufunda eziku-inthanethi nezixubile. Ukufaneleka ukuthi isibalo sabantu esibuzile sinenhlanhla ngokuqhathaniswa. Izimpendulo zabo azikhombisi neze izinhlekelele ezimbi kakhulu zezimo zethu sihlangene: Abafundi abashonelwe abazali ngenxa ye-Covid-19. Omama bephuma ngobuningi babo emsebenzini . Ukungalingani kwezobuchwepheshe. Izinombolo ezingabaliwe ze izingane ezilahlekile —abanye abangakwazi ukuya esikoleni ngoba benakekela izingane zakubo; abanye abangabaliwe abawela emifantwini yekilasi nokuhlukana kwezinhlanga. Kuyacaca futhi ukuthi zonke lezi zingane ziphonselwa inselelo amahora angapheli ezikrinini, ukusebenzelana komphakathi okunganele kanye nobunzima bezobuchwepheshe. Kodwa badlula ngomuzwa wethemba nomusa, okumele, ngokusobala, kube yisifundo kithi sonke.
Ngakho-ke, uma ufuna ukuthambekela okuncane, nobufakazi bokuthi (ezinye?) izingane ezweni lonke zi (kinda, sorta?) kulungile, ungabe usabheka okunye. Lapha, ngamazwi abo, imibono ethile ye-K-12 mayelana nezinzuzo kanye nezingibe zesikole ngo-2020.
*Ukuze kuqinisekiswe ubumfihlo, ngokwesicelo sabazali bazo, amagama ezingane ezithile ashintshiwe.
Amashumi amabili namashumi amabiliUkufunda kude ngeNtwasahlobo eyedlule kwakunzima kakhulu ngoba umfowethu kwadingeka ukuthi afundele ekhaya futhi kwakukhona umama oyedwa kuphela owayezosifundisa. Okuwukuphela kwento engangiyithanda ngayo ukuthi ngangikwazi ukubona ubuso obuhle babangane bami nge-Zoom. Ngifisa ukuthi leso sikole sibe njalo njalo. Ngikhumbula ukudlala ebaleni lokudlala nokwenza ama-monkey bar nabangani bami. Kuze kube sekupheleni, bekungomunye weminyaka engcono kakhulu yesikole enganginayo empilweni yami yonke.

UJamie Grill / Getty IzithombeUkufunda kude ngeNtwasahlobo eyedlule kwakuyinto embi kakhulu eyake yabakhona. Bekunzima kakhulu ukuthola indlela yokusebenzisa amaslayidi e-Google. Ngithande ukuthi ngikwazi ukuzithulisa futhi ngivale ikhamera yami.
— USavannah, 3ndIbanga. Isikole sakhe sikahulumeni manje sesivulelwe ukufunda ngokugcwele, ukuzifundela mathupha.
Ngithanda ukufunda kude ngoba sesiba nolwazi lwezobuchwepheshe kakhulu. Ngingafunda ukuthayipha ngokushesha futhi ngenze umsebenzi wami wenziwe ngokushesha kunosuku oluvamile lwesikole.

Amashumi amabili namashumi amabiliEngikuthandayo ngokufunda kude wukuthi nginesikhathi esiningi sokwenza umsebenzi wami. Ngiyathanda futhi ukuthi ngisebenzise ikhompuyutha yami kakhulu, futhi ngingakwazi ukuzimela. Engingakuthandi ukuthi angikwazi ukusebenza nabangani bami. Angikuthandi futhi ukuthi angikwazi ukudla isidlo sasemini nabanye. Kungaba yisicefe ukudla ukudla kwasemini uwedwa.
—U-Amy, 5thIbanga. Isikole sikahulumeni. Ingxubevange, isigamu sezinsuku ezinhlanu ngesonto.
Ngithanda ukuthi akudingeki uvuke ekuseni kakhulu futhi awudingi ukupakisha isikhwama sakho. Angithandi ukuthi kufanele ube kukhompuyutha ngaso sonke isikhathi futhi awukwazi ukuma ngaphandle kokuthi ube nekhefu elifushane.
— UClaire, 5thIbanga. Isikole sikahulumeni. Isilawuli kude sesikhathi esigcwele kusukela ngoNtwasahlobo odlule.
Ngangisithanda isikole esikude [ngeNtwasahlobo edlule] ngoba ngangikwazi ukwenza wonke umsebenzi wami ngosuku lokuqala, bese ngiphumuza isonto lonke ukuze ngenze noma yini engiyifunayo. Ngibuke kakhulu i-TV neTikTok. Futhi lapho i-Covid-19 iba ngcono, ngaya kumavulandi wabangane bami, sabe sesiqala ukugibela amabhayisikili. I akazange njengesikole esikude ngoba ngangingababoni bonke abangani bami. Futhi ngangilizonda [ikilasi eliku-inthanethi] i-Google elihlangana nalo, ngakho angizange ngiye nelilodwa lawo. Futhi kwakucasula kakhulu, ngoba wonke umuntu wayecabanga ukuthi ngiyagula lapho ngingayi khona! Angizange futhi ngithande ukuphuthelwa yi-5 yamithukuthweswa iziqu kanye nalo lonke uhambo obekufanele siluthathe ekupheleni konyaka. Kodwa ngaphandle kwalokho, kwakukuhle futhi ngangikuthanda.

Ngithande ukuthi bekulula kanjani ukuqeda umsebenzi ngokushesha. Kodwa ngezinye izikhathi kwakunezinkinga zokujoyina [amakilasi aku-inthanethi] futhi lokho kwakucasula.
