The reopening of schools in cities might be on hold for now, but children are definitely missing the institutions. A survey by K12 Techno Services Pvt. Ltd., of children from four cities to understand their emotional and mental health status amid the pandemic, has revealed that 78 per cent of them miss going to regular school, and more than 50 per cent feel that even if they do begin, it won't be the same.

The survey also revealed that even as 50 per cent of the children are enjoying waking up later than usual due to online schooling, 63 per cent enjoy spending time with their parents and grandparents at home. At least 42 per cent of them feel sad watching their parents argue. Over 30 per cent of the children feel conscious and trapped as parents watch their online classes.
