Some of you might think, “Who cares what we wear. We are in our own houses, not the school”.
Still, I think what we wear will be important, especially in our school where the dress code is
quite strict. We definitely can’t just wear anything we want while using video calls, since some
clothes might be considered inappropriate. Then there is the main question: Can we effective-
ly learn from online classes? Trying to convert the lesson itself to an online platform will, no
doubt, be a big challenge for the teacher, but some students may also find it to be a challenging
method of studying. All in all, however, I don’t think this will be as much of a challenge for us
EPTS students and teachers who have always used the online platform as a significant part of
our classes.

The coronavirus has affected, and will affect, the educational system in a lot of ways. This
change occurs so fast that we might not be prepared for it. Nevertheless, we have to deal with it.
The shift to online education may be for better or for worse, but the most important thing right
now is we have to accept it and try our best to adapt to this new system; as our school slogan
suggests, “Self-adjustment is the most important element of a successful life”.
