MAY 6-7 2021 NEWS “I think there are some benefits for some of our students to opportunities like what we’ve had with remote learning,” Wheat said. Many of the students feel this way too, they feel that having a more flexible schedule school year for some is a good idea. “They have the online school that they’re offering for online students so it is already changing for future years already. I think that’s good because it’s good to have two options, either in-person or online, especially right now,” Kelecha said. Other than just the way students could be able to learn in the future, many anticipate a difference in the students themselves. After how difficult last year has been for many, students will most likely be permanently changed. “I think there will be some change, definitely in the people,” Lauffer said. The COVID-19 pandemic has affected almost every aspect of education for the last year and a half, and many wonder if it will continue to change it years down the road. “I do think there will be lasting effects, and there already have been,” Kelecha said.
