It’s 8 a.m. Wednesday, and 16-year-old Lacey Boozer is getting ready for school. The high school junior brushes her teeth and heads out the door \u2013 her bedroom door, that is. Because of COVID-19, Boozer now completes her schoolwork online, sitting in her home office or living room.<\/p>\n
Her daily workload includes several Advanced Placement classes at Hillcrest High School and one English course at Greenville Technical College. Her teachers post assignments online throughout the day, which sometimes makes her time spent working unpredictable.<\/p>\n
\u201cI stayed up until 11:40 p.m. last night answering one of my teacher\u2019s questions that he posted at 7 p.m.,\u201d Boozer said. \u201cThey feel like we have more time but we don\u2019t. We do, technically, but it\u2019s really hard to work at home.\u201d<\/p>\n
Adjusting to completing work without face-to-face lecturing has been a challenge for Boozer and her friends. Boozer said teachers sometime assume that students have more time in a typical day to finish assignments, when that\u2019s not always the case.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think everyone was OK when they heard that we had two weeks, but everyone\u2019s freaking out now that we have a whole month,\u201d Boozer said. \u201cWe\u2019re not getting the lecturing time that we usually get, but our workload is staying pretty much the same.\u201d<\/p>\n
Boozer and her friends have been able to lean on each other for help completing assignments and for limited social interaction. Although some of her more introverted friends love online school, Boozer and her classmates acknowledge the learning curve that accompanied the switch to e-learning.<\/p>\n
\u201cMost classes have changed drastically,\u201d Boozer said. \u201cAP physics is mostly hands-on learning and a lot of experiments, and we can\u2019t really do that when we don\u2019t have the resources at home.\u201d<\/p>\n
Boozer\u2019s AP exams will now be online, only consist of free response questions and have a time limit of 45 minutes. She\u2019s concerned that online testing will make cheating easier, resulting in inflated scores.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey\u2019re trying to make it so that you can\u2019t cheat, but I doubt they\u2019ll be able to do that,\u201d Boozer said. \u201cI think that within 10 minutes of having the test out, someone will have gotten the answers and copied it to the internet.\u201d<\/p>\n
COVID-19 has also affected Boozer\u2019s participation in sports and extracurricular activities. She\u2019s still hopeful that her May 31 prom will be unaffected, but as a track and field athlete, she is currently missing the peak of her season.<\/p>\n
Her team has been conditioning since September 2019, but their meets are now canceled through the end of April. Boozer is worried that she won\u2019t get another chance to display her months of hard work.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m pretty sure the entire season\u2019s canceled at this point,\u201d Boozer said. \u201cThe end of April going into May would be our state championship, and they can\u2019t just jump into a championship randomly. So, it really stinks.\u201d<\/p>\n
10-year-old Baileigh Vaughn had a rough start to fifth grade e-learning.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe first day was a whole mess,\u201d Vaughn said. \u201cI started at 8 a.m. or 9 a.m. and got done at 7 p.m. or something. The computers weren\u2019t working; they were shutting down, and I was having to start all over again.\u201d<\/p>\n
Since then, she\u2019s settled into a new routine and has enjoyed completing assignments online. One way Vaughn demonstrates her knowledge of a subject is through Flipgrid, where she videos herself talking about a topic and posts it for her classmates to watch.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou can add stickers, and you can explain the notes you took,\u201d Vaughn said. \u201cThen you get to take a selfie, and you can do the selfie however you want. You can watch your friends\u2019 videos, and you can compare notes.\u201d<\/p>\n
Although Vaughn said it\u2019s hard to not be able to ask her teacher at Bell’s Crossing Elementary School questions face-to-face, she\u2019s enjoyed spending more time with her mom as her home teacher.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy mom\u2019s a good teacher; she does a good job helping me with stuff,\u201d Vaughn said. \u201cIt\u2019s not very stressful.\u201d<\/p>\n
Vaughn wakes up every day to start her work at 8 a.m. or 9 a.m. so that she can finish early in the afternoon. She also looks forward to playing with her new kitten, Pixie, at the end of her school days, which motivates her to get her schoolwork done.<\/p>\n
As her final year in elementary school concludes, Vaughn is missing her friends, but still enjoys meeting them every day online through Google Meet. Her teacher also checks in with the students, performing a mental health check and asking them what they\u2019re feeling as e-learning continues.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think it\u2019ll turn out good,\u201d Vaughn said. \u201cI just hate the fact that I don\u2019t get to go to school. I love school.\u201d<\/p>\n
Twelve-year-old Thomas Culbertson and his 10-year-old brother, Josiah, haven\u2019t experienced very much change to their everyday life due to COVID-19.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s been the same, basically,\u201d Thomas Culbertson, a seventh-grade student, said. \u201cThere\u2019s not much difference for us.\u201d<\/p>\n
Before stricter social distancing guidelines were enforced, the Culbertsons were able to see some of their public school friends more often because of the shift to e-learning. One of their friends spent two days with their family, completing his school work alongside the homeschoolers.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think they have as much school to do,\u201d Thomas Culbertson said. \u201cHe came over the first week of all this for two days. He had a little less schoolwork, but he\u2019s doing school at home too.\u201d<\/p>\n
The brothers usually start school each morning at 9 a.m. after eating breakfast. Before coronavirus, they would spend Tuesdays attending their Classical Conversations meeting, a homeschool group. Now, this work is done online for a few hours, and it likely will remain that way until the end of the semester.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe don\u2019t get to see our friends,\u201d Thomas Culbertson said. \u201cWell, we kind of do because we go on WebEx so we can see everybody, but we don\u2019t get to see them that much.\u201d<\/p>\n
A typical day for high school sophomore Judy Benner starts when she wakes up around 8 a.m. and grabs breakfast. Although Benner is homeschooled, she normally attends Upstate Homeschool Co-op on Mondays and Wednesdays, which is now canceled for the rest of the semester because of the coronavirus.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s why after she eats breakfast, Benner heads back to her room and works quickly to complete her morning schoolwork.<\/p>\n
\u201cMost teachers are on in the morning, and then in the afternoon they\u2019re kind of off,\u201d Benner said. \u201cThey don\u2019t usually check their emails, so I try to get teacher communications done in the morning, and then the afternoon I save for the things I ask them about.\u201d<\/p>\n
Three of Benner\u2019s five classes are honors, and she\u2019s been self-teaching for almost three weeks. Almost all of her teachers have shifted to scheduling live video classes or have recorded themselves giving lectures.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe don\u2019t realize how much we rely on our teachers until now,\u201d Benner said. \u201cThere\u2019s certain things I just don\u2019t understand that I can\u2019t put into words on paper and sometimes that\u2019s harder.\u201d<\/p>\n
Benner said her main adjustment has been not being able to leave the house. In addition, her cheerleading team had to cancel its spring tryouts, and the co-op combined all sports lettering ceremonies into one online event. However, Benner says she isn\u2019t very stressed and is looking forward to future semesters.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not my junior year and I don\u2019t have any college classes to worry about,\u201d Benner said. \u201cI know that this will be over by the time next school year starts, and I can go back. I\u2019m feeling pretty chill about it.\u201d<\/p>\n
In her free time, she\u2019s been making TikToks and spending time with her parents and two sisters. Before quarantine, they used to disperse to their separate rooms after dinner at night.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve played a game almost every night now,\u201d Benner said. \u201cWe\u2019ve all kind of come together.\u201d<\/p>\n
