Peer review Panagiota Moutzouri
Good evening, my name is Panagiota Moutzouri and today I will tell you the situation that existed in the first period of covid-19. Firstly, before the first wave of the coronavirus broke out in Greece, everything was fine. I was in the second grade of high school, I went to my school every morning, I saw my friends, then I went to the private lesson of ancient Greek and finally I went to the house where I ate and read. But when the coronavirus arrived everything changed. We stoped go to school, we stopped studying and most of them slept constantly, some were reading, others were constantly using their mobile phones.I did everything I said. All the children had heard about a strange virus that had begun to come to Greece, however, we lived carefree until one morning we learned that a girl from here had the virus. I do not hide from you that I was quite scared, although I did not believe what the journalists were saying in the news immediately without the teachers telling us anything, we left the school so that we could protect ourselves. I look this practice very bad because we could all have been stuck and had losses at the moment. The next day a decision was made to close the school for 15 days to protect us all and to disinfect our school. However, without wasting time, the government found the solution to our problem and decided on distance education, which is known as distance learning. In this form, the third grade students continued to do their homework on a daily base, while we did activities that were sent to us by the teachers by email. It was a very difficult period, especially for the children who taught Panhellenical exams. We did not write exams to go to the next class. In addition, I believe that if it were not for technology, nothing would be the same since through it, teachers, students, and parents were facilitated. However, there were disadvantages as not all students had the necessary supplies for their teaching such as computer, tablet, mobile phone, internet connection. I believe that it was a very difficult period for everyone and I hope that this whole situation will end soon and to take our lives back!!!!
