2. According to Smita Jha, "I have two kids, aged 14 and 12. I am glad that the studies are happening, albeit online. But, I am also troubled by the fact that the kids are on their phone the whole day, for their classes and other online activities. This causes stress to the eyes and leads to headaches. I also feel kids are not able to take it as seriously as they would have, had they been in schools. We have limited resources at home, and they have to be shared now between parents and children. We had to buy an extra phone for the kids to use for their classes!"

Answer:
Smita Jha, who has two children aged 14 and 12, expressed both gratitude and concern about the current online mode of education. While she is glad that studies are happening, she worries about her children's increased screen time and the resulting eye strain and headaches. She also feels that her children may not take their studies as seriously as they would have if they were physically attending school. In addition, the limited resources at home now need to be shared between parents and children, which has resulted in the purchase of an extra phone specifically for her children's online classes.
