    Hiya! Welcome to another news story's listening diary of Johanna the Elephant.🐘 So, this news story was found on Google Podcast at WBUR News. This news is entitled "As Classroom Refill. Teachers Relieve a Year of Anticipation - and Anger" which is presented by Max Larkin (https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9yc3Mud2J1ci5vcmcvbmV3cy9wb2RjYXN0/episode/YTc5MTU4Y2UtNzBiNy00MzBmLWE4MDUtNjYyMzlhMDFlNTU5?sa=X&ved=0CAYQkfYCahgKEwjgrrCRn-HvAhUAAAAAHQAAAAAQ9QM). Let's read the summary⇩

Online Class

    Many educators are still waiting for vaccines, and some of them are dealing with exhaustion and frustration. In zoom meeting, there are only several students turning on their cameras which makes the educator struggle in delivering the materials. They anticipate schools to be opened soon.

💭💭💭

    It is true that not only the teachers are waiting to have a class in the classroom, because there are more challenges found during online classes. Also, there are reasons for students not to turn on their cameras, such as: bad internet connection and any technical issues. I had never thought that teachers would face struggle when the students did not turn the cameras on.

    In this news story, I found a new word, coping. Coping is the -ing form of cope which means deal effectively with something difficult.📚

    How about you? Have you ever found any challenges in your online classes? I think everyone has. I hope everything can start to be better. Stay safe and healthy. See you!🐘
