After this long, crazy, and tiring pandemic most students are finally back in school. All coming back with the experience of doing online school. Many students have different opinions about online school. Some thought it was bad, and others enjoyed it. I created a survey and asked a handful of juniors and seniors about their experience of online school, if they enjoyed it, whether it was a challenge or not, etc. Asking junior and seniors was the most logical approach because, in my eyes, they had the most pressure on them. In junior year, it is very crucial to perform your best because it’s the year colleges are more focused on, and it is also widely accepted to be the hardest year of highschool. Seniors have to work hard as well to perform well to leave the school with good grades to look good on their transcript, and it is the “stepping-stone” to college.
