If I'm tired of worrying about Corona and want to find something worse, my children's online classes are very useful. Just a look at the comments these children post for everyone to see is enough to trouble you. Corona will possibly go away someday but what about this insensitivity and insolence? While teenagers' comments range from dirty, flirtatious to insulting, the ten year-olds are only a few steps behind. But what's also worrisome is teachers' helplessness to take charge of the situation. One teacher literally begged them to stop saying she was getting nightmares. Why shouldn't there be penalty for such bad behaviour?
In Anu's class, after reading many comments from her classmates on the games they were playing, Anu asked them to stop it and listen to what the teacher was saying. I asked her if she would've done the same in a classroom. She thought and said probably not; she might not have had the courage to take on so many.
