As students return to their second school year of online classes, students and parents in the LRB community have contradicting views on whether the government should allow schools to have face-to-face classes with health protocols in place.
For instance, Grade 11 student Jollsella Chanel Chan said students should be allowed to return to classrooms as not every family can afford gadgets and Wi-Fi needed for online learning.
However, her father Frederich Chan said that online learning will be much safer for her daughter to continue her studies as COVID-19 still looms.
