The majority of Morton East students find remote learning more difficult than in school learning.

According to the article ‘” What students are saying about remote learning.” By the learning Network, students are divided between loving and hating remote learning. Although the vast majority of students claim to learn better in an educational setting than at home, some students really love learning at their own pace. Interestingly, the divided feelings on virtual learning are making it difficult to discuss “back to school plan” in the near future. One thing that is clear would be the hope of distress taking the correct measures to keep students and staff safe. In a quick survey of 8 Morton East students, 5 students reported remote learning is more difficult than in school learning.

“It’s hard to build strong relationships with students and those strong relationships help to foster better opportunities for learning and growth,”  assistant principal Randall Borgardt said.

Many students feeling the same as administrators.

“Remote learning is hard because it’s more difficult to ask for help when you’re stuck due to the fact that you don’t really know your classmates or teachers,” senior Emily Velazquez said.

But, through tough times there’s always a side to look forward to.

“I just can’t wait for school to be back in session to have those peanut butter and jelly sandwiches,” senior Fernando Gomez said.
