As elementary school 1st to 3rd graders finally joined the 3rd online school opening on the 20th, there has been a realization of concern that they will become 'parent school opening'.

Because children are not yet familiar with smart devices, there was also a scene where parents can watch the remote classes together at the annual level.

In some school emergency care classes where online classes were conducted, disruptions could be caused by disability, but schools that successfully finished classes with active preparation were also noticeable.

◇ From online access to assignments… Parents 'taking together' Jomo (42), the mother of Kim Mo (9), a third grader at Jeonju Mo Elementary School in Jeonbuk, had an annual day for her son's online class.

He had to spend an ambitious morning as the child was stuck all the time watching online class videos on YouTube, etc. to check his progress and situation.

"I have to go to work tomorrow, but I'm already worried," Cho said. "My mother-in-law decided to take a look forward, but he sighed," I wonder if my child will follow my grandmother's words. "

Due to the nature of elementary school students, parents sweated early in the morning because they had to take care of every step from online access to assignments.

Amo (39), who lives in Gagyeong-dong, Heungdeok-gu, Cheongju-si, said, "Only 15 minutes of online classes were all videos, and the tasks were hardly possible for a child to do alone."

In addition, he said, "In order to solve the assignment printout that was given in advance offline, the parent must take care of it and the word" parent opening "comes up."

Difficulties in multi-child families or double-income couples, where it was difficult to spend time with only one child, were even worse.

Housewife Park (43), a housewife living in Yeondong, Jeju City, had a busy morning with her first son, a first grader.

The elementary school boy's son did something different when his mother kept paying attention to his sisters.

"My first son watched EBS, and his 3-year-old sister yelled at the side, and the six-month-old baby kept crawling next to him," said Park. "Today, I watched EBS on my living room TV. I also need to consider how to let my study room watch alone. ”

The first-born mother-in-law, 34, said, “I continued to postpone the second daycare center because of the Corona 19 incident, and today I had no choice but to send the second to the daycare center for my first online school day. I said. "

◇ EBS · e learning site connection failures one after another… Confusing care classes are also confused after this 3rd online school year, considering that it is still difficult for self-directed learning in the first and second grades of elementary school, we decided to conduct an EBS broadcasting-based remote class using television.

3rd graders take interactive classes that offer interactive, content, and tasks using computers and smart devices.

However, in some school emergency care classrooms, there was a problem in accessibility, which was a problem even during the first and second online school days, and the class was also disrupted.

On this day, 16 elementary school students who applied for emergency care at Mo Elementary School in Yeongtong-gu, Suwon-si, Gyeonggi-do, did not have proper access to EBS on air.

Instead of the EBS class they originally planned to take, these students had to watch an alternative video that guides the school through YouTube.

In the next computer lab, about 10 students in grades 3 to 6 attended online classes autonomously, but some students could not even access EBS online classes for about an hour.

Working mom Kim Mo (42), who lives in Busan, also had to get his feet rolled from the company when he received a call from his 3 sons earlier that he could not access the 'e-learning site', a remote class platform.

Kim told his son how to connect again by phone, but due to a server problem, access to the e-learning site was impossible.

"I think I need someone to take care of my online classes until it stabilizes," Kim said.

This kind of disability has been a problem since the first online school year, when middle school seniors and high school seniors began taking remote classes.

With unprecedented numbers of students on the homepage at once, access disorders occurred every 1 to 2 hours on the 13th and 14th days of online schooling.

Even three days ago, students were in great trouble due to problems such as not being able to log in to the EBS homepage with a social networking service (SNS) ID.

In order to prepare for the connection failure on this day, the school that finished the class using YouTube, which has a large server, also noticed.

Bongdeok Elementary School in Heungdeok-gu, Cheongju expected to have difficulty accessing the e-learning site and online classes, and created a video channel for the school in advance to conduct a video lesson.

"By using a YouTube that doesn't have too much access to the server, it minimizes the inconvenience of students," said teacher Hong Bong-deok of Bongdeok Yeo. "Of the 300 students in grades 1-3 who failed to log in to online classes on this day, only 1 That's it. "

On the 9th of this month, on the 9th of this year, 3rd graders and 3rd graders of high school, on the 16th, 1st and 2nd graders of elementary and high schools and 4th and 6th graders of elementary school started online classes.

As a result, the total number of participants in the remote class on that day amounted to 5.4 million.
