Talking About Offline vs. Online School

We were part of the traditional or offline school system for many decades. However, in recent years, we have seen an unprecedented situation in which all worldwide instructors and educational institutions have gone online and educated billions of students online. Since then, a new topic has been created, which is offline vs. online school, as well as the benefits and drawbacks of each.

The following English video lesson focuses mostly on this conflict of interest, which is increasingly growing over the world. Because of the Pandemic, we had no choice but to get online; this abrupt change pleased some and irritated others. And now, even when things are improving, many of them simply want to stay online. Because of this shift, the world has been divided into two parts: offline and online.

Justin: Hey Manny, how are you doing?
Manny: Quite well. It seems the sudden change hasn’t affected your studies or has it?
Justin: Well, rightly observed boy. Having a clear perspective towards what you are doing actually helps.
Manny: For me, it’s been tough to keep up. Engaging for almost everything online has turned out to be a kind of a headache.
Justin: Could be, I understand.
Manny: And that makes me wonder whether online classes is a good option or not.
Justin: Well, the present uncertainty demands that most of the engagements go online. Otherwise, we might end up as a complete mess.
Manny: But however, I always feel there is something wrong about all this stuff going on online.
Justin: Everyone’s experiencing similarly my friend. All you need to do is learn how to adapt.
Manny: So, I guess this is the new normal. I am longing for the old days to return.
Justin: Me too, can’t wait for school to reopen. Though I am in total control, online teaching can never be regarded as an equal substitute to face time learning.
Manny: Moreover, unexpected incidents, like a power outage or internet connectivity issues add up to the discomfort. Good gracious, I did not face this situation while writing my papers.
Justin: (smiles) Well, neither I. Actually, power cuts are very rare though but my internet supply is touch wood simply incredible.
Manny: You are fortunate mate. Where you reside does matter.

Justin: By the way you always found Math and Science difficult to grasp. How are you doing with them now?
Manny: I am terribly lost. And I don’t know how my scores will shape up in these two.
Justin: Yeah, you are right, unless these two subjects are taught face to face, nothing’s ever going to fit in our head. (smiles)
Manny: Yeah, those were the flip sides to online learning but the other way of looking at it exhibits opportunity.
Justin: Indeed. It has given us the opportunity to try and learn concepts on our own. That shows how dependent we are, right?
Manny: After all. Certainly!
Justin: So, to conclude we must learn how to adjust to online learning till everything is back to normal.
Manny: Sure buddy. Goodbye, then.
Justin: See you.
