FIVE Consistent Student Comments on the Pros of Virtual School:

• Less spread of Covid-19; so it’s safer for you and everyone around you
• You can have your own schedule that works best for you
• There’s a lot of free time for people to catch up on other daily things that they may do in life
• Being in the comfort of your own home. This is tough for a lot of people because they show up to school uncomfortable because they’re thinking of what others think of them
• Less social anxiety
• BONUS: Getting to stay in your comfy PJs!

Here are three random student opinions from the survey, which are all anonymous.

“No risk of being exposed to Covid, I can work at my own pace, don’t have to deal with overwhelming nastiness and loudness of other teenagers.”

“Can technically get the work done at your own pace, you don’t have to work in a stressful environment, and you can be comfortable while you do your work.”

“I feel safer, more focused, and I’m able to have my own schedule without the stress.”

My Personal Opinion: I strongly believe that we should be virtual because there’s less spread of Covid, teachers and students can have time to get well from being sick with Covid, and I have free time to do the things I need to do.
