Has COVID-19 Put Greater Responsibility On Parents To Educate Their Kids?
You probably suspect that the title of this piece is a rhetorical question. Perhaps this accurately represents your thought process: “You’re not really asking if this is the case! You’re asserting that it’s the case! The subtitle gives it away.” If so, you’re quite right. It doesn’t take much investigation to confirm that the education process has become far more parent-heavy this year.

An Open Letter to my Fifth Grade Class
Dear Students, Today I had to pack up all of your things. I thought packing up the classroom would be the hardest part but it wasn’t. The hardest part was packing up all of your stuff knowing I won’t see you again this year. It is really unfair that our year together got cut short. Teachers aren’t supposed to have favorites but you, as a collective group, are my favorite. For lots of reasons.

Math Fun With Games
Playing games is fun! As we know, learning can be more fun using games, especially in Math. Math games are a way to enrich students’ learning of math concepts, as well as to increase speed in computation. Math games can be used in all areas of math teaching. Motivation is when children freely choose to participate and enjoy playing a game that helps them with learning. Games motivate children! This creates a positive attitude which is essential to learning and mastering a subject. Games provide opportunities for students to reduce the fear of failure and error in a carefree and fun environment.

My Four Days of Joy Wrapped all ANEW!!!!
Tuesday morning I awakened at 6am. I began to take down my braided and twisted hair. I wanted my wavy puffy locs to be free for my first day of virtual teaching. As I began to take down my hair I noticed that the formation of my hair was not to my liking.

My experience giving tuition to a Karen citizen
As a very fortunate citizen of the country of Singapore, I count myself very lucky in many aspects. I do not have to worry about food, water, and shelter. Out of curiosity, I decided to sign up to volunteer to give online English tuition to Karen students who live along the Thai Burma border. The Karen people mostly live in refugee camps as they are stateless due to an insurgency crisis that happened in the past between Thailand and Myanmar. Apparently, their living conditions are really bad and with COVID-19, their access to education is even more limited. So when the organizer of the tutoring initiative (which is parked under Safe Water for Every Child Myanmar) showed me a presentation about the facts regarding the living conditions of the Karen people, I was of course, very shocked. I found it so hard to believe that there are so many children out there who are struggling so hard in their lives.

Importence of gaming in students life
The significance of gaming in students is a topic that has been debated since the beginning of time. The majority of people would agree that it is one of the things that can make people happy, and thus it will always be present in people's lives. But how do you determine what kind of gaming you should choose for your students?
