Ms. Celia Gollub, Teacher: I think I’m going to go into it with an open mind. I’m just going to follow what I feel at the time. If I am going to be taking mine off, if I’m going to leave it on, I don’t think I have a definite answer as of yet. I think I’m going to wait and see. If I’m not feeling well myself, to protect myself and others, I’m going to probably put it on. If I feel okay and it’s bothering me, I might take it off. I’m really undecided as of now. I think I’m just waiting to see how it all plays out a little bit. I wish I had a more definite answer, but I’m not sure. My concern is more for the kids that want to leave it on. I want to make sure that they feel protected and nobody picks on them or makes them feel bad for choosing to leave it on. I have two children of my own and one of them is excited to take it off. The other is going to leave it on no matter what since that’s just how she feels. So, I’m on the fence about it.

Liana Farah, virtual freshman: “I’m virtual so, part of me is upset—I mean, not upset—but I would rather be in person doing six hours of school than virtual, but I’m virtual for the rest of the year. But I think that sitting in front of a computer for six hours on Zoom is going to be very frustrating.”
