Tondo, are you there? Tondo, are you sleeping?
Some students fall asleep at the monitors. “Tondo? Tondo, are you there? Tondo? Tondo, are you sleeping? ”Asks a Czech teacher from Blansko. A long silence, then Tonda sounds. The teacher continues, so it is a proverbial determination, and waits for an answer. “So it’s a proverbial determination of certainty,” the schoolboy replies. The teacher just adds “aha”, laughs and explains that there is no such thing yet.

Then, when the teacher turns off the whole application, the whole class bursts out laughing.

“Humor and insight help always and everywhere, and this also applies to all somersaults associated with school online teaching. It certainly has its significance and can be used more often in the future, but direct contact with the teacher is irreplaceable, “said the well-known Brno psychologist Jiří Brančík.
