Online learning also prohibits social interaction and development among kids

Why traditional classroom is more important than online learning post-pandemic?

Online environment has focused on digital content however it lacks emphasis on the importance of learning aspect; whereas traditional environment focuses on content and providing knowledge in real time. Online learning can be tedious for most of the students as they tend to procrastinate due to lack of self-discipline and teachers also face the challenge of engaging students. Traditional classroom encourages closer relationship of students with their teachers. One of the main factor that will encourage traditional classroom learning will be the shared learning experience among students. This aspect cannot be replaced by any online teaching method, students learn better in an environment where they can socialise and learn from fellow students.
