Covid was a disease that came out of nowhere and was extremely unexpected. In the beginning we would have never expected it to have the impact on education as much as it did. Students initially thought that this was the best, no in person school, what could be better? Little did students know how it would affect them and the younger generation.
Teachers began to quit, students began to lose motivation, children could not learn the basic education they need to move on in life. The older students realized they are now behind once they came back to school, younger students did not realize but have been more stagnant than ever before. How can a student learn 3rd grade when they have yet to learn 1st and 2nd.
Not only did we have specific learning affected, but students became to struggle with mental health. They were unable to be exposed to society and group work, they were alone. School is a big factor in what keeps students active and social, without that student’s mental health began to plummet.
