P-EBT returns for Tempe Public Schools
One unexpected surprise during the pandemic was that everyone enrolled at my daughter's school received the pandemic-electronic benefit transfer. Essentially, because kids were at home learning online, they did not receive breakfast or lunch at school. There were pickup options, but we didn't really use that service. So, instead, the state mailed us a card that can be used to buy groceries. It was really unexpected, and we just found out that we get another allowance this week. It's a really nice boost to the grocery budget and it recognizes the importance of nutritious, consistent meals for kids. -

School During Covid
During Covid-19 our school shut down. We had to stay home, and just worry about how bad this virus could really be. They extended our classes to 90 minutes. This could benefit the teachers by giving them enough time to complete a section we were currently learning. Most students disliked this however since now they have to give their full attention for 90 minutes.Instead of the regular 30-40 minutes, Not having to wear uniform or starting class somewhat later was a benefit for me and others, but it came at a cost. -

Virtual learning
During the crazy year of 2020, we weren't allowed to have school in person. Instead, we had to learn remotely. There was both benifits and obstacles in this time. Some of the benifits were that we didn't have to wake up early, or go to different periods, because everything was one click away. Although there were some benifits, there were also difficulties. Some of them included no socializing, technology could sometimes fail, and we didn't have the same tools that we had in the classroom. Overall, this year has been a great change, and I think that we haver to start getting used to a different life. -

Remote Learning
Remote learning was very hard. I had to sit in front of a computer for 6 hours straight on zoom. The learning was hard and turning things in online was hard and also not seeing anyone. The few benefits were that I didn't have to get changed for school or wake up super early but other than that it was really hard. -

Remote Learning
School started in August 2020. It took place at home. During the spring, I already had experience in learning at home, so it was not too hard to adjust to the beginning of the 2020-2021 school year. I cannot believe that I have been learning virtually for almost half of the school year already. My morning routine starts at 7:30 AM. Sometimes, I would wake up at 7:55 and skip breakfast to attend my first-period class at 8:00. Then, I would go through my class schedule. We separate A days from B days. Each day would have different classes. We still had our required core classes and our electives. At the end of the day, I would finish all my homework and then rest. The benefit of doing remote learning is safety. However, it causes eye pain, burning, and discomfort because of screentime. I had no obstacles or challenges while doing remote learning. Especially this year, I have learned to adapt to changes. -

Virtual Learning During Covid
Virtual learning was definitely an experience that came with a lot of challenges, but also a lot of added benefits. Some challenges were not being able to ask questions in person, because some questions are too detailed to get a good answer to without seeing what the other person is talking about. I also seemed to zone out more online than I would in class because we were on zoom so long. I definitely feel I was on my computer more in the last year-ish than my entire life. Some benefits were my sleep schedule was actually way better when we were online than it has been in a while or when we were in person. My stress also seemed to go down incredibly when online because the teachers seemed to be way more understanding on zoom, and wanted to help you. Overall I like being back in school, but being online wasn't as bad for me as it must have been for others. -

“People have described it as these times are unprecedented."
“People have described it as these times are unprecedented. Nobody has had to endure or deal with or live through something like this of this magnitude in the past. I know that there's always been previous flus or outbreaks or epidemics here and there you know the black plague obviously was a big one the Spanish Flu the flu of 1918 was pretty bad and you know a lot of those were pretty treacherous for how many lives that they took and how much it affected communities that way so thankfully we haven't had to deal with that a whole lot with this one as of right now.” -

I secretly love Covid-19
Top 20 Good Things about Covid-19: 1. Peace and quiet 2. Much less traffic 3. Pollution is way down 4. Gas companies are upset 5. Spoiled children are depressed 6. Republican suicide-by-liberation is a thing 7. The vast majority of jobs are inessential 8. No professional sports, AKA stupid distractions 9. Familial bond forging 10. My alcoholic neighbors don't warm up their two cars - a giant, rumbling Ford F150 and a two door Mini Cooper with a modified (AKA much louder) muffler - right outside my bedroom window for 20 minutes at 6:30AM every weekday morning 11. Mother Nature won't go down without a fight 12. Rich people forced to pay poor people 13. The airline industry, a wasteful and destructive industry that pollutes like crazy, is suffering 14. Cruise ships, modern monstrosities of disgusting opulence that helped the virus spread, are also hurting 15. Real leaders have distinguished themselves 16. The quality of art is directly proportional to the suffering of the artist 17. No mass shootings 18. Sales of bidets way up 19. "light and heat" might kill the virus. Or maybe injections of bleach? Trump wants to look into those ideas, as they come from a mind whose uncle taught at MIT. So, y'know, he just innately understands complex doctor knowledge. Comforting! 20. No need to make up excuses for not visiting grandparents -
