  Virtual Learning

  I absolutely loathed virtual learning. I would wake up minutes before class started to get up from my bed, slap some clothes on last minute, and listen to class half asleep. I didn't really learn anything at all. The information would stay with me one day, then leave the next day. Learning Math and Chinese were excruciatingly terrible. I couldn't pay attention at all, and all of a sudden the teacher would ask a question and I would sit there not knowing the answer. While online school was the worst possible thing that school has done to me, there were a few pros to it. I could sleep in between classes, eat during class, watch tv during class. I could leave early, I didn't have to try as much. I liked online school when it was first announced in March until around May. Summer happened and we went back to online learning. I would have so many distractions that I couldn't get any homework done... The homework. The homework was one of the worst things about it if not the worst. They would give us mass amounts of work and then have the nerve to say "Have a nice weekend!", knowing good and well that I'd be doing work the whole time. It probably wasn't as much as I thought it was, but it sure seemed like a lot. The only thing I learned from online school was "Turn in assignments by 11:59 pm". So overall, the online school was terrible, nothing good came from it.
