Politz Day School - Yisrael: 7th Grade Covid Reflection
-
Covid-19 started in March. My friends and I thought it was great to be on Zoom for two weeks. It turned out that we were on Zoom for the rest of the year. It was terrible, we all hated Zoom. It was annoying having to wake up and go onto an iPad. Being on Zoom for the whole day was complete torture, having to look at an iPad when you can go outside and play. We all really enjoyed being on Zoom in the beginning, until it just got annoying to attend class. Sometimes, we couldn’t even speak, because we would just get muted by our teachers. Sometimes, you would get logged off of the meetings, and then you would be marked late for not coming on time. However, one of the greatest things about Corona was that we didn’t have to take finals and Terra Novas.
The next school year began and the administration tried to make it a safe environment. We had to start wearing masks and stay in the same classroom all day. One of the worst parts during this time is that for some classes, we come in person to be on Zoom. We also don’t get to have field trips or have speakers come in. However, I am still thankful to have school in person as opposed to being home, on Zoom. It’s great everyday coming in to see my friends as opposed to seeing them on Zoom. My friends and I agree that we probably have the best classroom to be in during this time. We have a big room, with a ping pong table, and have shelves filled with books to read. During Corona there are ups and downs but we are all getting through it together.
