While much of the debate around schools reopening is situated between politicians and educators, students also have something to contribute to the conversation. Humour seems to be the way that some are choosing to approach the current situation, approaching potential illness and death with a devil may care attitude.
This item was added TAGS v6.1.9.1. I originally searched under the hashtag #ifschoolsreopennow. Within that search, I have chosen to add the following tweet because it highlights the approach that some students/comedians are taking in light of the current debate that is centered around in-person education.

Use one-word hashtags (separated by commas) to describe your story. For example: Where did it originate? How does this object make you feel? How does this object relate to the pandemic?
