Opinion: School is Just Not the Same

School has changed because of Covid-19. For example, school is also now online. Some schools have opened, but not many students go because that is not safe.

Those who actually go to school at East Rock School used to go two days a week and now they go four days a week. When we go in person, we all have to wear masks and use hand sanitizer.

Some schools have opened, but not many students go because that is not safe.

There used to be 100 kids coming out of school buses in the morning, but now there are not very many. Probably about 48. And some of them are coming to school from car rides. Inside, the desks are spaced apart and you have to bring your own water bottle. This is why I think schools have changed a lot since Covid-19 started. There are probably more reasons but these are the ones I noticed.
