If you answered mostly A’s: It’s a dream come true! Schools being forced to run online was one of the best things that has happened to you yet. No more trudging across campus and having forced conversations.
If you answered mostly B’s: This is the worst nightmare possible. For you, distance learning is the absolute worst. You barely know your classmates, and every day your eyes feel like they’re melting out of your head.
If you answered mostly C’s: You can’t tell the difference between home and school anymore. You’re not a bad student, and you try to do your best, but your school and home life are bleeding together.
If you answered mostly D’s: I mean…is this really considered school? You’re the type of person who joins class, says “here” for attendance and sleeps through the rest of the lesson.
