Answers & Comments
here are my answers;
1. Children should be supervised when using the Internet.
Answer: Yes, children like me should be supervised by their parents on using the internet. Because nowadays there are tr9lls and people who spread fake news all over the internet. Like for example, parents should limit their kids on using the internet and they should also check what groups they’re joining.. and also checking their conversations with other people because sometimes they could be dangerous and their kids could learn some bad things from it. I agree about them supervising us abut on using the internet because that way, I wont learn some bad things and also I will be safe from knowing all the vulgar things from it.
2. Learning online is just as good as learning in a traditional classroom.
Answer: My stand on this is neutral. Sometimes it depends on the student’s privileges, like for example, learning online wont be that hard if the student has a reliable internet, good laptop, or gadgets. However, if the student doesn’t have any of this. They’d struggle and the so called ‘learning in a traditional classroom’ will be the best choice for them. So for me learning online would be just as good as learning in a traditional classroom if I have the computer, internet, and gadgets to do so.
3. Social Media's Role during the Quarantine Period
Answer: social media became the source of information during this still ongoing pandemic. It helps when it comes to news, entertainment, and many other things. Because of the quarantine people are only very limited to go out and so , social media became their only source to not feel bored inside their houses. Social media also helps when you need tips about some things for you and your house. With this it can be said that social media holds a big role for people during the quarantine period.
4. Parents should restrict their children's media exposure.
Answer: Yes, for me, our parents should restrict us about our exposure to the sócíal médía, because it has a health risk according to the sydney morning rehab. it says there that it has a psychological effect or gives mental health risk to children as they can be victims to cyber bullying and grow up with depression due to it. Parents should restrict and tell us children that social media could be bad for us and also we should always try our best to understand them.
5. Picnicking is a perfect way for families to spend time together.
Answer: Yes, picknicking is the best way to improve family bonds. Putting up a picnic table with good food in a good location is the best way to relax and chill with your family. Like for example a simple picnic on the park with a family while watching the dog palying is a great experience, plus it will lessen the social media exposure. Children like us wille be exposed more to outdoors activity and we would experience playing outside after a long time with fresh air. So yes picknicking is the best way to spend time together.
