Distance learning has been a strange and new experience for everybody, and many of us are still getting used to the changes that are occurring continuously. For Freshmen, though, it has been arguably more challenging since this is their first year of high school.
While everybody during the pandemic is struggling to find a new ‘normal,’ freshman get the pleasure of struggling to figure out how to survive high school, find their courses, meet new people, and adapt to harsher grades that mean something for the first time, while also struggling to combat the hardships of the pandemic like everyone else.
On the first day of school, rather than waking up, driving to school, and meeting their teachers and peers- often for the first time- Freshmen logged into a Zoom call and were briefly introduced to their teachers before having a long conversation about how the distance learning model would work for the first few months of their high school careers.
Everyone quickly adjusted to the distance learning and hybrid models, but many new ninth-grade learners are still wondering what real high school is like, and the teachers might not offer the freshman another opportunity to get adjusted to highschool when school goes back to normal.
