'For me and many of my classmates, choosing to go back to school isn’t just about us, it's about the people we love most who don’t have the privilege to make this choice.'
What are your biggest concerns regarding going back to school in person this fall?
Ideally, I want to go back to school but knowing how big some of my classes may be, I don’t think it’s reasonable. When it comes to online schooling, if teachers could provide us with the same attention they would give in a classroom environment, then we could get the adequate instruction we need. In my school district, there are already some good measures implemented to optimise students’ learning, but there could always be more.
I would really like my school to implement opportunities to do work off-screen in the form of paper handouts, textbooks and readings. My experience with the online classes in the spring taught me that Zoom fatigue is real and truly changes the way and speed at which I can learn and work. I hope to have at least half of my homework in forms in which I don’t have to look straight at a screen.
What measures would you like to see your school implement to foster a safe learning experience for you?
