Confused return; concern omission for online classes – El Sol de Toluca

Family members and teachers of the basic level of the State of Mexico questioned that in the next school year, which begins on Monday, there is no clarity in all schools about how the online classes will be held.

Officially it has been reported that the return to classes will be in the face-to-face, distance and hybrid modality.

However, mothers questioned that virtual classes are practically being canceled, as face-to-face sessions will be given priority.

And although the return to the classroom will be voluntary, they indicated, the attention of teachers to those who do not attend school would only be with weekly planning.

They warned that this would cause further educational lags in students.

“My son got eight point five in his qualification, but I consider that he did not learn anything, he is going to enter second year of secondary school, but he has never received direct attention from his teachers,” said Sebastiana Chacón, a mother of a family.

According to the plan and schedules that Sebastiana was given, the groups will be divided into two for face-to-face care.

Your child has to attend until Monday, September 5, and in the first week of the school year, they must work with content planned for each subject.

According to the teachers consulted, last Thursday they were informed that all the academic staff must present to the classrooms on Monday.

“They gave us the instruction (from the Ministry of Education) that all classes will be face-to-face, virtual classes will be eliminated,” said Professor Joaquín Ávila Ramírez, director of the “León Felipe” elementary school in San Luis Mextepec, in the municipality of Zinacantepec.

Professor Mireya Gutiérrez López, director of the “Lázaro Cárdenas” elementary school in Toluca, explained that to replace the virtual classes, the students who do not attend will be sent teaching assignments to solve at home.

The students, he pointed out, will be evaluated on a weekly basis to measure their performance and that they are complying with the assigned work.

“A diagnosis will be made of the students, either through exams, surveys and fifteen other ways to evaluate,” explained the teacher.

According to the sanitary protocols, the groups should not be larger than 15 students.

BALANCE

Members of the National Union of Parents (UNPF), Toluca region, recommended that there be inclusion and equity in face-to-face and distance instruction.

José Luis Romero Castañeda, representative of this organization, recalled that a recent agreement issued by the Secretary of Public Education (SEP) focuses more on the guidelines for a voluntary face-to-face return.

Although the aforementioned document also says that the remote model will be developed, for which he opined, both modalities require the same attention from teachers.

“We feel that there is a bit of how to call him, discretion in the attention to people who will be at a distance, is what worries us, we hope that it will be the same attention in the face-to-face mode as those who are at a distance,” he said.

Romero Castañeda said that according to the SEP agreement, distance instruction will continue through digital platforms and television, as well as with the use of social networks such as WhatsApp.

And your organization is aware that public institutions try to tie the two modalities simultaneously.

He explained that they have oriented parents to request diagnoses of the return and the face-to-face activity is not mandatory.

“One question is what the agreement says and another is what some schools do, they practically tell parents: if they are not in face-to-face mode, it will be more difficult for your child and we will not be able to attend him as it should be, with what which may feel obligated ”.

Education, he stressed, must be inclusive and non-discriminatory in the educational modality chosen.

The Sun of Toluca He consulted in several schools where different forms of face-to-face and distance work are planned.

For example, at the “Gustavo Baz” elementary school in Toluca, students would come to the campus twice a week from 7:40 to 12:00 or 13:00 hours, approximately. And in a primary school in San Juan Tilapa a teacher commented that the classes will be face-to-face.
