#AcademicFreezeNOW Trends on Twitter

Wazzup Pilipinas!

Netizens voice their frustrations over online learning.

The hashtag #AcademicFreezeNOW trends on Twitter as they call to suspend the current school year amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

Academic freeze doesn't mean students don't want to study. They are all saying that ONLINE CLASSES IS NOT EFFECTIVE. They are doing everything just to understand the lessons and answer the activities at the same time pero wala akong natututunan.

Truth be told, they are not learning anything. They're just doing modules for the sake of complying and having grades.

This is not learning, this is just only complying to the requirements.

Madaming pabida na privileged and selfish na nagsasabing tamad lang daw tayo kaya gusto natin ng Academic freeze. They don't know the struggle that students and teachers facing now. Shut up and stop fantasizing that online class and modular is okay.

Sa dami ba naman ng requirements at sabay-sabay na due. Tapos poor Internet connection pa at hindi makajoin sa mga meeting where attendance will be checked.

Hindi din ganitong system ang gusto ng mga estudyante. Learning videos ba talaga mga pinapakita pero bakit wala daw silang natutunan? Naka,-focus naman sila, gabi-gabi nga na hindi na gaano makatulog kasi nafifeel nila yung anxiety kakaisip sa mga activities.

Don't pull out that "we can adapt to the new normal" when it's not that easy. Take a semester off? Not that easy too. Students don't want to be left behind, but they don't want this kind of "new normal."

A student even resorted to selling their body just to afford education. Most of us students are not ready, even DepEd and CHED aren't.

"I don't want to stop but this is not what I want. I want to learn, with my classmates and other students. I want to finish this with them, I can't take the guilt of being privileged and watching them struggle just to finish this nonsense thing. "

Let’s face the fact that we are not fully equipped in this kind of educational setup. Whether it's online or modular, embrace the reality that the government has inefficient plans and those poorest of the poor are greatly affected by this pandemic.


DepEd/CHED,

If a student commits suicide because of the things that they cannot accomplish for their ol classes due to problems in mental or physical health, family, etc., will you take FULL RESPONSIBILITY of their death?

"Sobrang pressured ko na tapos ilang beses na akong nag mental breakdown."

"Ang daming gagawin tapos sabay-sabay pa."

"Wala na akong natututunan ang sakin lang ay makapasa."


Financial, Mental, Physical, Emotional

Lahat unstable.

Academic freeze is all we need periodt.
