Teachers can teach online

Due to ongoing blockades and hartals which seem to be indefinite, children cannot attend school and are passing their time playing video games, watching TV or sleeping late. In that situation I would like to suggest the teachers to record their lectures on video and post them on YouTube. Once this is done, the website address details can be sent to the parents by SMS so the students can view the lectures on their computers at home. Homework can also be given online.

Many countries are  practicing this. I believe this is also possible in Bangladesh, at least in the urban areas where internet facilities are available. Schools must think seriously on this.
