Avoid plaguing of swine flu by attending cyber classes at home
Dr. Janice Yu, News Weekly Column, TutorChinese, June 13, 2009
While swine flu devastates world health environment and people flee public areas to
prevent contaminating agents, the traditional classroom education is now facing
challenges.
Body contact between schoolmates proves a feasible instrument which can serve as a
channel for swine flu viruses. That is why Mexico closed its convention schools and
sent students home to eschew being exposed to epidemic.
Online school, in such case, is an alternative to learners who intend to sustain their
studies. According to Jack Zhang, who runs a cyber educational system that teaches
Chinese, business people who rely on the web to distribute knowledge may benefit
from the spread of swine flu than sacrifice their profit margins.
People tend to be more interested in classes provided via high technology directly to
your residence because flu virus can be easily screened while no class gathering takes
place. Learning from tutors on cyberspace can be a solution which helps you stay
away from being vulnerable to swine flu.
