Financial means and other kinds of access
By: Tabitha Moses ‘

Requiring students to use video during class makes assumptions about the
ability of students or their families to pay for the requisite technology. Approximately
1 in 5 students live below the federal poverty line and lack access to the technology
needed for online classes -- from computers or tablets to Wi-Fi.

While some public school districts have made efforts to distribute tablets and
laptops to students, there are other financial burdens that need to be considered. At
the start of the pandemic, about 14% of students did not have internet access.

Although internet service providers made efforts to increase access, many

households may not have the bandwidth required for video streaming.

Furthermore, more than 1.5 million students attending public schools or going
to college experience homelessness in a given year.

Students may not want to share information about their living situation with
their classmates, but a requirement to use video may force them to do so since their
peers might realize what's going on when students have to connect to class from
their cars or local establishments.

The problems listed here are not comprehensive and do not begin to address
the additional concerns for students who require classroom accommodations. This
discussion has also not touched on the situations that teachers face. Many educators
struggle without a way to see and engage with their students regularly and have
tried to use video for this purpose.

These concerns about required video in online classes are not aimed to prevent
teachers connecting with students. The goal is to ensure that students feel
comfortable and safe while learning online. There are many ways to engage with
students through distance learning and it may take time to find a system that works
best for everyone. But, based on my research, I believe that required video should

Terror of Wounded Knee

The Indian activists who have taken hostages and staged a violent replay of the
“battle” of Wounded Knee are engaged in a dangerous game. If the first battle was a
massacre, the second is also a crime. Certainly, it will not help the Indians’ cause with
the great majority of Americans.

We have had too much experience in this country with those who fantasize with
high-powered rifles and who dramatize themselves with violence against others.

After a decade of riots, mass murders, and assassinations, Americans no longer are
moved to sympathy by twisted souls who believe that they can win votes with gun-powder
and extortion.

The activists in this case have made the usual demands and already some
politicians are talking of acceding to those demands. Let us hope that this line of official
acquiescence to blackmail will not be followed.

The first priority must be to get the hostages back to safety; then there must be no
official move later to reward the kidnappers or excuse their crime on the grounds that it
was politically inspired. We should have learned by now that the casualty of a politically
motivated crime is just as dead as the victim of any other crime. Political terrorism has

The Digital Divide

By: Kim Czaccei Dacanay

The digital divide exists in the Philippine education system for the longest time, but
the Pandemic exposed just how bad it is. The digital divide is the barrier between those
who have access to computers and the internet and those who don’t.

Educational attainment is heavily affected by the digital divide, and this remains true
to many countries in the world. Many provinces in the

Philippines have a slim to none access to the internet connection. Students and
teachers would have to climb high places to get internet access. Also, as reported by STAR
last year, 13 million Filipino households don’t have electricity.

Therefore, the transition to online classes will put certain Filipino student population
at a stark disadvantage. If there’s no internet connection, how can the students do research
work? How can they interact with their instructors? How can they learn? Education must
not be exclusive for people who are privileged enough to have a laptop and a stable internet
connection. Education is for everyone.

Major Art Periods

Three major movements in the history of art are Medieval, Renaissance and Modern. The
Medieval period, which encompasses the time from around 600 A.D. into the 14th century, is
predominately religious in nature. Objects are not portrayed realistically, but as simple flat images.
During the Renaissance period, beginning in the late 14th century and continuing into the 16th century,
artists developed a more realistic style. Renaissance artists also discovered the use of perspective,
which brought a three-dimensional feeling to two-dimensional artwork. Prominent artists of this time
were Leonardo da Vinci and Jan van Eyck. Modern art, which encompasses the Impressionist and
Cubist movements, began in the late 19th century and through the 20th century. Rather than focusing
on realism, artists explored the use of light, movement and color. Modern artists include Pablo Picasso,
Claude Monet and Vincent van Gogh.
