As I got up this morning, a few thoughts about the move to stop #onlineeducation. The GoK does realize that many parents will send their kids to online classes like Whitehat or sign them up for Byjus now, right? What happened to their grand scheme of curtailing screen time? Also, their logic that children from disadvantaged backgrounds have no access to the Internet. Well, this inequity existed before. Now it will widen when parents opt for other means and resources. Unless you want to ban YouTube while you're at it? #onlinelearning #Karnataka
