write a letter to your teacher stating your feelings how do you miss the school the class and their beloved teachers since April during pandemic
Answers
Dear teacher,
Its been a sad year for us because we need to stay at home just to be safe from this virus. The frontliners are working hard for us to prevent and stop this pandemic. And because of this virus we have to study at home like online and modular learning.
I'm very sad because I cannot go to school and I miss my daily habit before. Online school is really hard for me because I have to learn by my own. I want to go back to the mode of learning I am used to. I also miss my teachers, classmates and my best friends and I really want to hang out and have more memories with them.
It may be a hard year for us but I know we can overcome the struggles life gave us. And I hope this pandemic will end this 2021 so that everything will be back to normal.

I Can’t Believe I Am Going to Say This, but I Would Rather Be at School’
We asked students, from kindergarten to 12th grade, what it’s like to learn from home. Here’s what they had to say, in their own words — and drawings.

Kids are getting more bored by the day. We wish we could go back to school to see our friends. But some of us are also really scared about getting the coronavirus, and we don’t want our friends and family to get it either.
That’s what kids across the country told The New York Times (where my dad works) when they were asked about learning from home during the coronavirus outbreak.
Some are having fun with their parents and their brothers and sisters, but most are missing their teachers, their friends and their normal lives. (As Dahlia Stringer, who is 11 like me, said in her letter, “Everyone knows little sisters are annoying” — little brothers sometimes are, too.) And a lot are frustrated about missing out on things like spring break, field trips and graduation.
“I’m hoping that things will be back to normal someday,” wrote Sasha Udovich, 9, from Los Angeles.
Same. Home-school is definitely boring, but I really hope we can make it through this safely and return to how things used to be. I miss my friends.

Let’s start with the positives: Family time, freedom and snacks.
I like that I can stay with my parents the whole day because I really, really love them. I like that we can have our own P.E. with our dad. The only thing I don’t like is math. But I still would have been doing that in school, so I guess it’s better to do it at home at least.

Alice: I like being home because you can eat and drink while you are doing your schoolwork. And you get to do your homework with your sister. You can ask mom or dad to help you, because they are both at home now. You don’t even have to raise your hand.

It gives me time to work and complete assignments on my time throughout the day. Rather than sit in school for six hours, I can break up the work throughout the day and use the extra time to work around the house or go outside.

The positive thing about being home during the coronavirus pandemic is that I get to spend time with my family and share with them what I’m learning. I get to involve my parents in activities that I have only done with my friends. I also get to see what my siblings are learning and help them.

I enjoy staying home as long as I don’t think too much about why I’m not at school. I actually have more time on my hands than I know what to do with. I’ve been trying to use that extra time for productive things, like learning how to cook.
— Charlie, 17, Kirkland, Wash. amount of work to be assigning is 40 minutes (about a class period) plus half an hour plus of homework. This is from EVERY teacher, so it adds up real fast. Over the last few days, I’ve had more work than I would usually have if schools weren’t closed — and I have to do it all sitting in the same spot for hours.

Because the work is optional, and the homework is not for a grade, I know many friends who choose not to work on it. Along with that, the assignments do not go along with what I’m currently learning at school. The homework is assigned t
