The year 2020 was supposed to be a year of big changes for La Salle Green Hills .
But the new coronavirus disease struck, adding a lot more to Fernandez’s already full plate. LSGH and DLS-CSB have spent the past few months facing the challenges of the pandemic while preparing to transition to online learning programs that will keep students safe at home in the next school year. He told ToBeYou in a video interview: “I thought we needed a disruption. Of course, I got the biggest disruption of all. But I think this is the right opportunity. It’s the right time. I think there is no other appropriate time. Kumbaga, seize the opportunity.”
The transition has been a bit controversial with the alumni. But the more I think about it, the more it’s the way to go. De La Salle University went coed in the ’70s… and look at where DLSU is now.They’ve been very supportive. We have teachers who have daughters, so they’re very happy about that. Most of them think it’s for the good of the boys and for the good of the school.It’s 4,000. Ten years ago we were 5,000. This was without senior high school.
We have had some minimal online experience, but I don’t think any high school or elementary school can say honestly they’re fully prepared. We really had to make a decision to go full online. We don’t have any choice, basically. I’ve been pushing them. The academic team has been meeting almost daily. We’re going to start simulation online, so that when we open July 20, we would have had seven weeks of experience, because I am sure there will be a lot of issues that will arise.Yes.
Online learning presents a lot of challenges. Connectivity. Number of gadgets at home. For example, if there are four or five siblings battling for one computer. If the parents work at home pa. So we’re having to take all those into consideration. I suspect online learning, a successful one, will be highly personalized, depending on the household. A parent can say, “Sorry, I can’t follow your schedule because at this time, my kid does this.
I'm not sure how to feel about this 😬
