Improve Condition of Online Teaching

The Issue

Online teaching has been very inconvenient and hectic for both students and teachers. This petition speaks on behalf of the students and suggests a simple solution that works for everyone.

We have to keep track of various apps and various groups to keep up to pace with assignments and attend lectures. Online lectures rarely succeed in working, and most of the time half an hour is lost on attempting to get the lecture started, which ultimately fails almost always. Work is often assigned to us without any clear due date. And when due dates are given, different teachers expect submissions at different days of the week, which makes it a hassle to keep up and submit them timely.

It would be easier for us all if there was a uniform system for all of this: assignments and lectures were confined to one app each respectively, and all due dates being on the weekends so we can do different assignments on our own time and pace and still be able to do as much work as we're already given. If there was a single google classroom per batch where we could submit assignments for each class, it would be easier for both students and teachers. And video lectures can be done on one dedicated application only (example: Microsoft Teams, which Manav Rachna school has been using successfully to conduct classes)

To summarise:

1) Keep assignment submissions, quizzes, updates to one app only, and video lectures to another single app.
2) A single google classroom for each batch.
3) All assignment due dates set to on one single day of the week for convenience and less hassle.
