The descriptive analytical method was used, and the research sample consisted of (249) male and female students of general secondary schools, and (129) teachers were chosen randomly. The researchers found a set of difficulties that hinder the application of online teaching in secondary schools in Damascus from the point of view of students and teachers: Weak interaction and communication between the teacher and the learner, while the student in light of the current crisis desperately needs someone to pat him on the shoulder. And at the same time, online teaching ignores the social and recreational activities that give the teaching process a lot of energy and enthusiasm. Also, Online teaching consumes a lot of Internet packages, which increases the costs for the student and teacher at a time when these people need bread and basic living necessities with lack of government support for them. In addition to the fact that online teaching does not take of the individual differences between learners, where students face some difficulties as a result of the ongoing crisis there, which made many of them need special care from the teacher.
