The results of the research on the impact of Covid-19 showed that online learning are not effective compared to face-to-face learning in the classroom, the obstacles in online learning including unstable networks, and lack of parents’ ability to help explaining the material provided by the teacher. Good cooperation and communication between parents and teachers are the solution to optimize study from home.
