LATELY, PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD HAVE HAD TO GET USED TO OUR “NEW NORMAL.”
PEOPLE LOST THEIR JOBS, KIDS LOST THEIR FRIENDS AND THE EXPERIENCE OF A FIRST DAY AT SCHOOL. 2020 THROUGH 2021 HAS NOT BEEN FUN, IT HAS BEEN AN INTERESTING ROLLERCOASTER THAT WE WANT TO END. SCHOOLS AROUND THE WORLD WANT THE KIDS BACK ON CAMPUS, BUT WE ALL HAVE TO FOLLOW RULES. LIKE FOR EXAMPLE WEAR A MASK, ANY KIND OF FACE COVERING, AND STAY 6 FEET APART. SCHOOLS CAME UP WITH “HYBRID’’ WHICH IS A WAY FOR STUDENTS TO BE ON CAMPUS YET STILL BE SAFE.
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL STUDENTS ATTEND SCHOOL IN PERSON FOUR DAYS A WEEK AND MIDDLE AN HIGH SCHOOL DO THE SAME, STUDENTS ATTEND SCHOOL IN PERSON FOUR DAYS. IN BOTH CASES, STUDENTS ARE SPLIT BY THEIR LAST NAMES, WITH EACH ONE HAVING THEIR DISTANCE LEARNING ON A DIFFERENT DAY OF THE WEEK. THEN THE KIDS WHO CHOOSE TO STAY DISTANCE LEARNING ARE ALWAYS HOME AND HAVE THE SAME SCHEDULE AS THE KIDS ON CAMPUS. Distance Learning is very simply learning from home. The schools will begin the year with Hybrid learning as an option. The hybrid model tries to maintain a nice balance between lowering viral transmission rates and giving students the most effective learning experience.
