“After the last two years, getting thrown into high school really feels like we are in a shaken up soda can that’s ready to explode. Instead of focusing on harsh attendance and grading policies to force us to “catch up,” what we students need is for teachers to meet us where we are at — to understand what we’ve gone through, and help rebuild the community and the trust that we lost over the last two years.” — Ethan
