What WMS Students want to see in 2021
January 14, 2021
2020 was a long and unpredictable year but now that 2021 is here, people have new standards.
I took a survey of 166 kids and 130 kids said they want to go back to in-person school and 36 did not want to go back. I also asked what WMS students wanted to see in 2021 and 138 people said they wanted to see covid-19 go away and for things to go back to normal.
I interviewed WMS 7th grader, Alex Wassel, he stated “In 2021 I want to see a vaccine for coronavirus, go back to school, and for everything to go back to normal. I don’t want to go to in-person learning right now but once it gets safer, yes.”
I asked 7th Grader Jake Witt and he said “I hope to see sports with no masks and covid to get better so we can see each other again. I want to go back to in-person learning, I have a lot of people in my house and it can be distracting.”
Let’s hope for a better year!
You interviewed 166 kids and only 138 said they wanted covid19 to go away. What did the other 28 kids say?
Hi, my name is Emerson and I have an opinion. Students should not get held back this year or scolded for their grades. The kids are the only ones who know how hard this was and still is for us. Not only have we done this grade once we have suffered through it and shouldn’t have to go through it again. Besides, how do you think the kids will react when they find out they have to do this again. It will wreak them mentally had physically. Say an 8th grader is going to Canton and they are so excited to go to highschool. When they get an email saying they must repeat the year that is horrible. Or a 6th grader who is ready to be done with the year and move on to seventh grade. But then a week later they get an email saying they must repeat. They will be known as the failure or the loser. That is NOT what West is about.
Thank you for listening to my opinion.
