“Get fully dressed. A day in your pyjamas is likely to be a lot less productive as your brain will keep trying to put you in non-work mode,” says a 65-page handbook recently developed by the department.
Though a uniform code of conduct hasn't been enforced for pupils, many South African schools have told them to dress"appropriately" for live-streamed lessons.Other suggestions include setting times to take meal breaks, switching off their electronic devices and stepping away from their work stations at designated times, informing their families about their work routine, and avoiding distracting personal media tools.
“I think we can agree that if you haven't changed out of clothes used for sleeping in the privacy of your bedroom at night, you are probably not in work or learning mode. “Students are expected to be dressed for school. They cannot be in their pyjamas, but can wear casual clothes. We do not have uniforms. We didn’t want parents to have to buy uniforms midyear, especially in these trying times,” said Curro online business manager Jay Paul.
Wykeham Collegiate grade 9 pupil Tamzin Gace, left, enjoyed the perks of online schooling, like wearing pyjamas and having the occasional lie down, while grade 10 pupil Madison Shaw said online classes in bed with her pyjamas on made learning less stressful.
Spokesperson Elijah Mhlanga said while the education department did not have online classes as an official learning platform, schools should determine pupils' dress etiquette.
