Not good, I overslept on Monday, because my alarm wasn’t loud enough, and now I literally have 13 different alarms in the morning. Otherwise it’s all good.

Remote learning has been pretty good so far because I get to do what I want when I want it without teachers saying no. in addition I get to eat when I want and do what I want when I do the work. Lastly, I get out of school 1:30 hours earlier as I dont have to commute. even with all of these benefits, I wish we were still in school.

At first, everything was really confusing and I think we were all freaking out yesterday because some of the instructions weren’t clear for some classes. But it was the first day and now I think everyone got the hang of what’s going on.

Remote learning is not too bad in my opinion. I had to make sure that I was kept on task and made sure to plan out what I had to get done. I think that it might take some time to get adjusted to, but eventually, it won't be too bad.

Remote learning so far is okay, I went to every class on time but it was kinda stressful since the teacher can’t physically help you in person. It was a bit challenging but I’ll get use to it.

Honestly, it's not as good as normal learning. When you're actually able to converse with your classmates and teachers face-to-face, it makes the learning a lot more engaging. Another problem I'm afraid of is if the internet service just suddenly shuts down. Furthermore, it is much more difficult to ask your teachers questions because of the internet. I also can't ignore the fact that sitting in front of a computer for 5 hrs a day is going to have severe consequences for our eyesight.

The remote learning is harder to get a hang of the going to regular school. It also doesn't seem like a very sustainable way to learn. Also, for some of our classes we aren't getting enough work. I have found that for most of my classes I finish early with about half the period left over.

I actually prefer this to regular school. Which I believe is an unpopular opinion. But I find the day shorter. I get free time after I complete the work. Every class period is just about perfectly timed for work to get 100% complete. In addition, I think it teaches students time management. Since it is now really up to us to keep up the work and finish at the right time. And really if you do all your work the day ends so much earlier. However, I do think the first day was a bit confusing. Therefore, some students didn't like it.

Starting a new way to learn during the "school day" has been a little confusing. However, from what happened on day 1, this is a time where many people help each other out. Remote learning also allowed me to finish outside projects during break time or when I have leftover time after I finish the assignments for the class period. There are many good and bad things about remote learning but it balances out our time doing things.

I was very confused at first with remote learning but I got the hang of it in a few minutes. It is also easier to do work quicker since there are no distractions but if I need help, it is hard to just ask people for help because they might not answer.

I actually didn't mind the new style of learning. Without it, there would be nothing to do in the day, and video chats are nice because I get to see my classmates, which is nice. Work gives me something new to think about other than watching videos all day. It's weird, but now I almost look forward to school to be able to see and talk with everyone.

I somewhat enjoy remote learning. It gives me the ability to do whatever I want, whenever I want.

I believe remote learning is a better educational tool, but the communication problem remains.

It’s been a struggle since the WiFi went out last week and we won’t be able to get it back by next week. There are lots of things I feel like I’m missing because every teacher uses different methods to teach students online and it’s hard to keep track. It’s also very easy and I don’t feel like I’m learning anything.

So far I'm enjoying remote learning, and actually prefer this over regular school. Its pretty chill, but I feel like there too much work being posted at once some of the days, and some of the emails aren't fully understood by every student because there's either errors, or the assignment just wasn't explained well enough. I think the only other downside is that your looking at a computer screen for a while and sometimes your eyes start to hurt.

Remote learning is definitely different from school. This is new to everyone and learning online isn't the same compared to school. For example, I don't have to wake up @ 6:45 to get to school on time. Instead, I can wake up @ 8:55 boot up my computer and I'm not considered late. Remote learning also gives more time to complete assignments compared to learning in school. Overall, remote learning isn't the same as going to school.

Students from a teacher's perspective--remote learning is not how I prefer to teach. I think the interaction among peers/adults are essential for one's social/emotional development. In addition, to avoid less confusion and instead of answering 100 questions via emails (in 40 minutes) I enjoy taking on questions in the classroom. Lastly, the computer monitor can't become our "best friend," for many young adults this has already become all too common. At the same time, considering the current circumstances, remote learning has kept us safe and is giving all of us some level of structure----that I do enjoy!

I like remote learning because I'm more productive and I get a lot of work done. Remote learning is teaching us time management and problem solving skills which are essential in life. Although we don't get much time with the teacher, we can ask each other for help through text or FaceTime. This has made us work better together as a class already, so in a way we are socializing and getting to talk to our friends. I personally like remote learning and it will be interesting to see how it unfolds for the next few weeks/months.

Personally, I am enjoying remote learning way better at this moment. I don't have to see people that I do not like and I could just interact with people I do like such as my friends. Also I am a lot more productive and I feel that it's great because we don't have to wake up as early. The only sad part is that I sort of miss my friends. The reason I said sort of because I do not see them psychically but I see them virtually. Thus, I wouldn't mind staying at home for the rest of the year.

Remote learning is actually pretty fun so far. I can do a lot of things while working such as, listening to music. It’s just hard to keep track of everything to do since everyone is updating assignments at the same time. It’s nice that we start at 9 and get a break so I have more time to prepare and get ready. It’s not as easy to learn since it’s harder to ask questions and talk with teachers/ other classmates. I’m starting to get used to finding other alternatives to learn and communicate with others now.

To be totally honest a lot of teachers are giving us more homework and classwork now that we are at home, which is understandable.

It's very complicating and confusing but I'm trying to keep track of everything.

While we have remote learning from home the workload has been heavier and it's a little harder to keep track of our due dates and work. Something I miss about school that remote learning can't replace is all the socializing. In addition it's easy to lose track of time during class or get distracted. However while in school things are more manageable. Furthermore, I think that the whole thing is going to have to take some time to adjust to, because this week has been a little hectic to get use to.

Yes i understand you can add a class comment on google classroom, however it’s hard to explain what you’re trying to say through typing if that makes sense. I just think it’s easier to speak to a teacher face to face rather than a screen.
