"in the past year Covid-19 has stopped us from seeing our fellow classmates at school, but this year is different! We can finally go back to school, And this is what the 6th graders and 8th graders of OSA think about school so far!"--Poppy ZAiger, 6th grade
In the past week I interviewed 2 people, a returning student and a new student. The person I first interviewed was a sixth grader Amelia, Lets see what she has to say.
“My emphasis is digital media and I chose it because I was interested in animating and it has been fun! I kind of gave up on it but I could not change my emphasis but it has been fun and I don’t regret choosing digital media!”
“My teachers are nice! They are strict but they are also fun. I am happy with the teachers that I have.”“Going back to school is WAY better than online school. online school was horrible and I feel going back to school makes me learn more than an online class.”
“My goals are to get better at fractions, get good grades, get better at the times tables, and to do all of my homework.”
“How I go to school is that one of the parents in my neighborhood picks all of the kids going to OSA up and drives us to school.”
“Some of my favorite things at OSA are that we can go to the park to eat lunch, I also like the lockers, and the fact that there are arts you choose and it is so fun.”
Thank you Amelia! Now onto an 8th grader named Olu and he gave me some information about what it was like when he was in online school. I liked talking to him because we both had a big struggle with online school.
“ Online class was hard. I have ADHD so online class was very hard for me. It was very hard to stay active in class and I got a bit lazy.”
“I feel like my time management is better after going back to school and I failed at online school and I learned what is right and what is wrong after that experience.” Thomas said.“I think that online learning is better for the students because it makes kids better people but in person you learn more.”
“I think for me at least I have social anxiety and it was very hard to socialize in online school. It is still hard but it is better for me in person.”
“I have a few friends I saw before the pandemic and they go to school with me.”
“I am definitely happier that I can see my friends more. A plus for quarantine is that I got more of my personality back and I can see who my friends are and who are not my friends.”
“I made so many new hobbies over quarantine because I was really bored.” ( Like solving rubix cubes.)
Thanks Olu!! Today we saw what it is like for returning students and new students! Quarantine was VERY stressful and we hope everyone is less stressed now that the school year has slightly started and we can put last year behind us. It was a giant mess and I think this is better for everyone! Have fun and stay safe!
