Social distancing is a privilege

Social distancing is a privilege means you live in a house good enough to practice it. Hand washing is a privilege too. It means you have access to clean running water. Hand sanitizers are a privilege. It means you have money to buy them. Lockdowns are a privilege. It means you can afford to be at home. All of us who are practicing social distancing and have imposed a lockdown on ourselves are very lucky to have the means because many people won’t be able to do this.

Online teaching

The "new normal" has been the buzz term on everyone's lips but little do some know that online learning is a complex endeavour. Online learning, when carefully implemented can make education more accessible, affordable, engaging and also student-centred. However, the way that it is being presented, as if it is a simple solution capable of replacing face-to-face teaching interactions for a long time period is a fallacy.

The World Food Program of Nigeria

The World Food Program warns this would unleash a situation of widespread hunger in a country where some 90 million people live on less than $2 a day. In response, the agency says it plans to scale up its operations to feed three million of the neediest people.

WFP spokeswoman, Elisabeth Byrs says among those who will benefit from the program are city-dwellers in Kano, Abuja and Lagos who are particularly hard hit by the socio-economic knock-on effects from COVID-19.

Others who will receive increased food and nutrition support, she says, are women, men and children affected by a decade-long insurgency in the north-eastern states of Borno, Adamawa and Yobe.

  Dear Mrs. Powell,

  
  

  I am writing this letter to inform you of some changes that would be good for our school to continue to keep it safe considering the current pandemic.

  
  

  Firstly, we need to have a thermometer to test the temperatures of everyone who wishes to enter the building.

  
  

  Additionally, we can place a sanitizer dispenser at the entrance of the school to ensure that each person entering the building sanitizes his/her hand.

  
  

  Furthermore, we can place social distancing stickers 3-6 feet apart from each other so that students know how far they should stand and sit from each other.

  I hope you take these suggestions into consideration.

  
  

  Your Student,

  Camille.
