These days , many problems are happening in education due to COVID-19 . This pandemic caused the world to start online classes rather than face-to-face classes . Education is significant to all people , and everyone should receive it . Education helps to develop your brain and critical thinking skills . This is a vital step that helps people to use logic when making decisions and communicating with people . As COVID-19 spread rapidly all over the world , schools , factories , companies , shopping malls , and all other buildings were closed . The only plan that worked is having online classes using apps such as Zoom , Tencent Meeting , and Microsoft Teams . Companies and schools started to provide online classes to all students . This plan is continuing these days in schools and companies around the world . I interviewed 3 students in my school . 2 students had similar answers and 1 student had a different answer . The first question I asked is “ What do you prefer between an online class and an offline class ? Why ?” Myles Jacob Jin , a student in SLAS 10th grade said that “ For me , I prefer having offline class . The reason I prefer offline classes is that we get to go to school and communicate with teachers and friends . In addition , attending offline classes will make me more focused on classes . Going to online classes will make me more unfocused since I must control myself to be focused and participate in class . The second question I asked is “ What are the benefits of attending offline class ?” Myles Jacob Jin said that “ The benefit of attending offline class is we can focus more on class .” The second student I interviewed is Annyka Ma . She is also a 10th-grade student in SLAS . For the first question that I asked ,

she said that “ Personally I prefer having offline classes because whenever I attend online classes , I get distracted by other things such as YouTube and my phone .” For the second question , she says that “ The benefits of attending offline class are that everyone gets to participate and be more focused on class .” The last person I interviewed is Siyun Kim . He is also an SLAS 10th-grade student . He is the only person that had different thoughts from the other 2 students that I interviewed . For the first question , he says “ I prefer attending online classes because I get to sleep more time and have more time to do homework and other things .” For the second question , he says that “ The benefits of having online classes are that we can have more time to sleep and time to study for tests , quizzes , and homework .” Many people are having different thoughts and opinions when they are asked “ What do you prefer between online class and offline class ?” There are many benefits and disadvantages to each online class and offline class .
