As the lockdown got extended for four consecutive times, school managements of Tamilnadu started teaching students through online. Radio Jockey cum actor RJ Balaji who is known for raising voice for social causes, uploaded a video questioning the necessity of online classes. He alleged that not every student are wealthy enough to afford online classes and asked the schoold managements of Tamilnadu to look for alternative solutions to teach the students.

“When you are conducting classes for 8 hours straight a day, how could they (children) able to handle the stress being imposed on them ?? There are chances for them to get affected physically and mentally. We have seen Doctors advising elders not to spend most of their time in system and cell phone, think of children and college students. When will happen to their eyes and necks if they keep concentrating on those screens ??” Balaji questioned.

“Yes I can understand that you have to conduct those classes to receive fees from the parents.” Balaji mocked the school managements. “I can understand that you have to finish the syllabus. But is this the right solution ?? Ain’t it a stress for teachers themselves ?? In some schools, teachers are uploading videos and children are watching it when they are comfortable. Or you can give deadlines for assignments to make them learn” he suggested through his Instagram video.
