We are asking the administrators to take into account the last two school years and cancel midterms. We have been doing remote learning for a long time now and this is our first time back fully in school. Some teachers have taken this into consideration and have given us projects but the stress alone from getting back into our normal schedules plus having to take midterms is getting to be too much. Covid as taken a bigger toll on us than people realize, most of us are still struggling to get to school in the morning let alone take a midterm test. Everything is new again this year, we’ve been out of school fully for a very long time and we’re all still trying to get back into it. It isn’t an easy thing since we’ve had the same type school regimen since we were in kindergarten. We are stressed high school kids who can’t catch a break. Not only are we stressed, teachers have the stress of having to reschedule for many students who are absent, some grades like the freshman and sophomore’s have never taken a midterm here. Yes, we can just study more and do it and not “be lazy”. But we are still in a pandemic in which everything is completely different and not back to normal yet. Nothing is normal, especially school. There are so many outside struggles beyond school that makes this so much more difficult. In addition, there have been many cases in previous years(pre covid) where students have been absent for midterms and struggled greatly to catch back up between rescheduling them and trying to learn the new material taught while studying for past things taught. This alone caused immense stress so it’s only imaginable that with the pandemic it’s become even greater. With the amount of students in quarantine currently and still getting put in, not to mention the teachers too, it’s only going to be more difficult. Give us the help we need and give us the time to let things get back to normal.
