When they first announced that we were getting two weeks off of school everyone was actually excited for a break! But no one really understood at the time how long the pandemic would last and what was really coming. Once we began to realize that school was shutting down and virtual learning began, the sense of school community disappeared and I began to feel a sense of loneliness…
One of the challenges at my school is that guidance is overworked. It seems like they are always swamped, so when students need an appointment, they usually have to wait until its too late. Or we’ll make an appointment like we’re supposed to, but have it cancelled so we have wait another week to talk to someone when we really need to talk to them that day.
