my thoughts on schools reopening is a mix. yes i believe that school will help with students mental health but it will not help the fact that we are still in a global pandemic and that should be our priority first.

i think that it will make things worse; sure we can see everyone now that some are coming in, its nice and al but if you really care about others health why open the school when covid is still around. sure you can finally see your friends and your teachers- how lovely, but opening school is risky and with covid getting more bigger and the world not only here in mcfarland, opening schools will only make things worse.

I think it is a little to early to open up schools because there is not even vaccine to cure the virus and it is being rushed. There are still people getting the virus even though they got the vaccine and we are in a middle of a global pandemic and that is apparently okay to open schools. For safety it would be great to be virtual until a real working vaccine is released. I will wear a mask like what everyone says

I believe that while there is a pandemic going on, our school district has proven that it is capable of opening schools safely and allowing normal activities to continue. Things such as sports, clubs, and classes already have shown that they can work in person under the circumstances shown. And even though that the pandemic is still going on, vaccines and updated safety measures will also decrease the risk of getting the virus. Not to mention that students our age are one of the least likely groups to get covid. While our staff is at risk, there are safe alternatives that can still allow open schools to have teachers in them. I myself have gone inside the school and attended classes, and I can say that our school district has taken the utmost caution necessary to make in-person learning work and be safe. I also believe that the continuation of online schools would be detrimental to everyone's, including students, health. The pandemic has hit us all hard, yes, but it will hit us harder if we choose not to change.

I think the the opening up of schools is not bad. With the strict protocols and the school work that people are getting done i think its okay for people to start coming back into the building. There are definitely people that are going to want people to stay virtual but you always have the option to do that as well.

I believe that we should open up school as there is a vaccine in the making although we will be the last to receive it, with strict protocols i believe that we can open schools back and i like the though of splitting up classes to limit people in the building and the social distance protocols i think it will be safe. I also understand and a fine with knowing that if one person get covid the in person part of school will have to stop

I think that schools opening up is for sure a step in the right direction. It seems safe enough and the correct precautions are being taken so I think that it's good as long as people continue to stay safe as best as they can.

I think that opening schools can be done safely, but as long as people keep being safe and wearing a mask I think people will be able to go in.

Reopening schools can be safe if we are doing it right. We need to sanitize a lot, wear our masks right the whole time and social distancing. I will be safe when going back to school by doing the things I said.

Honestly, I don't know. I know a lot of my friends have been meeting up, but I've been self-isolated the entire pandemic. It causes me some emotional struggle to know that my friends are meeting up, and I know I wouldn't be able to go. But it still feels nice to be invited. Maybe that's stupid... anyway, when it comes to school stuff; It's looking more and more like vaccines will be ready for people like us towards the summer which bodes well for being in person next school year. But I think that for this school year, it's more trouble than it's worth.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that this is a big deal and people aren't taking it as serious as the should. Some people are taking it serious, but some are trying to go back to normal life pr-covid as much as possible. But this isn't normal so people shouldn't be going back to "normal" as much as it's needed for mental health, we need to worry bout getting the virus under control. I personally think we need a shut down again, so we can get as many cases gone as possible so there's less chance of spread.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it's good that schools are reopening because we need to be able to do things again, yes COVID is happening but also we've been in isolation for almost a year and that shouldn't be the new normal for us. When things do open back up we still need to take safety measures to stop the spread which includes wearing masks, washing our hands, and using hand sanitizer after touching things in public spaces. If we do this ourselves and others can stay safe while also stopping the spread.

# data[].attributes.body
My thoughts are mixed but are more on the happy side mainly because I get to ACTUALLY be IN school again almost like before, but I also will feel the need to be cautions almost all the time because of maintaining the distance rule and being sanitized. But if keeping my distance around 6 feet and sanitizing myself a lot will lower the spread, than I will make that sacrifice to be able to come back to in-person school.

I do not think schools should open again. There is a good chance that at least one person in the building will get the coronavirus after going to school. It would be much safer staying home. Students can learn the same way by paying attention in virtual lessons and doing their schoolwork. I am sure it is very hard for some people to stay home from school but I still believe safety is first. If students and faculty could be getting a deadly virus at any time when being in school, opening schools is not worth the risk.

That I like the idea of the hybrid and letting some kids go to school on specific days. Also, I just want to go back to school, I'm tired of being stuck in my house it is boring trust me. Obviously when we do go to school we have to wear masks. When there is more than 1 person in a room. Social distance and wash hands and be safe.

I like the idea of hybrid and letting kids go back to school on certain days. I want to go back to school, I'm tired of being stuck in my house all the time and it is so boring. Also, if some people aren't comfortable going back in person, they have the choice to stay at home. It's not like anybody is forcing you to go back. Then obviously, we would have to wear a mask at school and social distance from each other and wash our hands to be safe.

I think that it will be good for school to reopen as long as people wear their masks and follow the other safety measures.

I really don't think schools should be reopening at this point, not until more people are vaccinated, and I feel as if there is a risk with hybrid that virtual students won't get as much out of their education as their peers who are going in person. I also think the hybrid schedule is frankly very chaotic, and schools should wait to reopen until it is completely safe to do so.
