"Online learning is hard on every one it's good to hear how others are feeling." -- Zoe deetz, 6th grade
Online learning is hard on everyone, but it has its upsides along with the downsides. First we will be interviewing Calliope Dean from Literary Arts to see her point of view. When asked, what are the upsides of online learning for you? Dean said, “It’s a lot easier to get through the day and you have more breaks. The teachers also cut you a little more slack.”
“You get more time to focus on one thing because when you’re in person you kinda have to rush everything,” said Tamara Scott, who is in Theater.
“There aren’t many upsides but one I can think of is getting more time with my family,” said Heera Murray from Vocal.
All three OSA students agreed that online learning has its share of downside. “You are on a screen a lot more and that can induce stress. It also gives me a headache and it’s hard to connect with people online.”
The last question is, How do you think online learning has affected your pathway? “Luckily I'm in Literary Arts and that seems like one of the easier arts. I’d imagine it’s a little harder for vocals and theater. But I wouldn’t know.”
“It’s harder to get help with work because in person you can walk up and ask but now you have to write an email not knowing if they’ll respond” said Scott. “Also at home it’s harder to focus.”
“There are so many downsides but a few are, not spending time with my friends at school and being stuck on a screen all day,” said Murray.
How has online learning affected your pathway? “It’s a little easier because I have more time to memorize my monolog and it’s easier on others because in person you can get very nervous,” Scott said.
“But then there’s always internet issues.” “Singing online is hard because it’s hard to harmonize and Zoom is constantly lagging so we can’t sing in unison,” Murray said.
It’s not just these students, other students are having the same problems. But as soon as this virus is destroyed we can get back to a somewhat normal schedule.
