During COVID-19 people are wondering whether to take their kids to school or to home school them. Going back to school means kids get to see their friends and have something to look forward to when going to school. Having friends with you as you learn gives you a sort of motivation. When you are at school, you know that after the day is over, you get to hang out with your friends.
Due to COVID-19, kids have started to miss their friends, and surprisingly started missing school. With home schooling, kids will be lonely and have nothing to look forward to during the day, but will probably end up focusing more than if they were in class with their friends.
Going to school is fun and gives you more opportunities to be creative, while home schooling may have more restrictions when it comes to being creative, and using the right side of your brain more than the left side. The right side of the brain is responsible for creativity, while the left side is responsible for science and mathematics.
School during the pandemic will be very different than school was before, especially considering we now have to social distance. Every day kids in grade five and up will have to wear masks while they are in school until it is time for them to go home. In some schools, some kids were able to buy lunches like: pizza, chicken fingers, or even salads. But now because of COVID-19 kids will not be able to buy lunches at school but their lunches will have to be packed at home.
All in all, this school year will be very different than last year.
