Politz Day School - Lev: 7th Grade Covid Reflection
-
It was a Friday which we would soon find out to be the last day of school for the rest of the year. My two oldest brothers came home from yeshiva in Connecticut and for the first couple days we thought it was awesome to be on Zoom. Our school days were much shorter and we never were able to pay full attention to class. Very quickly we realized that this was not going to be fun. It was harder for me to learn properly and we weren’t having a good daily schedule. The teachers had a much harder time controlling what we did. Most kids enjoyed being at home and doing what they wanted. We always tried to spend a lot of time outside so our brain wouldn’t fry from looking at a screen all day. When the school was over, we all hoped next year would be back to normal.
After a summer that was fun, but a bit different, we were getting ready to prepare for school. I personally wasn’t able to decipher wearing a mask all day. When school started, it was very different and strange. In the beginning of school was very strict with COVID and we even had to quarantine for two weeks because someone came in contact with COVID. Slowly but surely more stuff was allowed like eating snacks during class if socially distanced. So overall there were good things and bad things. The main bad stuff were all the very annoying restrictions, Zoom school, and the worst was wearing masks. The main good stuff was we got to spend much more time as a family, and we went on very memorable trips together. So far, my COVID experience has had its ups and downs, and I hope it ends soon.
