Remote learning isn't new: Radio instruction in the 1937 polio epidemic
Education during epidemics
94% of countries implemented some form of remote learning during the pandemic. And this is not the first time that educators have made use of remote learning.
During a polio outbreak in 1937, the Chicago school system used radio to teach children. During other communicable illnesses, schools typically halted formal learning. Some kids played more while others went back to work at home or on family farms. School sometimes compensated for lost education by shifting the academic calendar or mandating Saturday attendance.

Mentoring relationships within schools
If there is one thing that teachers should be particularly good at, this has to be mentoring their students.
By doing so, not only do they guide an individual's self-development throughout his or her school years, but they also emphasize the idea of human interaction, which should actually be the basis for most of our successful actions.
