Erin Schoolsky, in-person junior: “I think there’s pros and cons because obviously we need to start getting back to normal and this is a step in the right direction, but at the same time the student body is already under a lot of stress and the timing with everything is not great, especially for students who take AP Exams because they have a heavier workload with the end of the year approaching. This year’s been a lot for everyone and especially since we only have a month left, it’s going to be challenging, especially for those at home. It feels like the students’ opinions are disregarded. Also, the pressure of school and summer coming is not a good combination because it’s harder for students to focus on their schoolwork.”
