The highly anticipated year of 2020, where we all thought it was going to be a year full of dreams being fulfilled and to just enjoy life better. However, it seems that we have jinxed it. Unfortunately, our school year has been terminated due to an outbreak of a new virus called COVID-19, otherwise known as Coronavirus. During the first phase of the spread of the virus, school remained in session and students were complaining about their safety going to school being in large groups for seven hours everyday, being at risk of contracting the virus.
Each day teachers were notified on how to explain how to prevent being in contact of COVID-19 to the students. As the number cases went up, schools were finally set to close down until further notice. Teachers were to prepare a two week packet to keep the students learning and busy during their absence of school. This was a big adjustment to not only students, but to teachers as well because it happened so quick and teachers began rushing to get information and to be prepared for the next phase which is working home. Last day of school, teachers handed out packets and workbooks that should be completed at the two week mark. Two weeks have passed and students think that people are taking this virus too seriously and quarantine is not necessary.
“I think this is the most exaggerated strand of the flu, small businesses losing their jobs and that’s a bad factor,” said Carson high senior Darrius lewis.
Carson high senior Nehemiah Woodard said, “Honestly the school should make it up to us somehow after all this over, because we deserve it. We worked so hard and to not be able to enjoy our activities is not fair.
Although activities such as prom, grad night and even graduation are canceled, students believe that the school should accommodate them.
