Return to Original LCPS Distance Learning Schedule

The Issue

The students of Loudoun County, especially the senior class of 2021, are requesting that the LCPS administration does not move forward with the newly proposed second semester schedule. Students around the county are struggling with motivation to join classes and complete assignments, and adding on class time leaves students with less time for wellness breaks. Some students use their breaks to socialize, catch up on sleep, complete extra assignments, study, or do other activities that will help improve their mental health. Also, some students are responsible for caring for younger siblings, as some have parents who are essential workers, and these breaks give older siblings the ability to do so. The senior class is struggling with senioritis like never before, and a long lunch break to go see friends is sometimes the only thing we have to look forward to. This newly proposed schedule would also place extra work responsibilities on teachers who are already stressed. We know that hybrid learning is being put in place for the students who need it most, and continuing to have learning lab in school would allow students to ask more questions and get the help they need. The students of LCPS know that our administration wants the best for us, and sticking to the original plan would give students less stress than what is already on our plates.
