Since Covid started, Virtual learning has made a jurassic change in schools all around the world. There are many different opinions about this new way of learning from teachers and students everywhere. Doing class over Google Meets and Zoom is something no one ever expected to happen.

Melia Paras, another sophomore at Lake Shore High school, explains; “Online school makes it difficult to learn and to maintain good grades.  I do see us using these new ways of learning in the coming future if Covid is still spreading but I really hope school goes back to the way it used to be.”
