Students’ Anxiety Increases Due to Returning to the Virtual Learning Style
January 7, 2022
A lot of students at the MECCA of Charles Herbert Flowers High School struggle with their grades. Students may prefer different learning styles and ways of being taught. Burnouts, stress, and mental health issues contribute to many students’ falling out of school. Putting in so much effort to complete assignments and receive a grade may feel excessive and unfair.
Many peers understand how it feels when grades aren’t looking good and there’s apprehension about speaking up and confronting a teacher. Something teenagers fail to remember is that teachers are just as human as you are.
Teachers have experienced numerous learning styles in their years of adopting and teaching. They can empathize as they re-acclimate to us. Grades may feel like they have just been overlooked, but teachers have so many students to keep up with at once. These are reasons why students should get the courage to sit down and have a one-on-one conversation with them.
Make sure to be polite, understanding, and open-minded when having this conversation, or it won’t go anywhere. Be brave and strive for greatness! Do not settle for less because you are scared to speak up or because you expect things to work themselves out without putting in any effort.

I understand why some students don´t like virtual. For some reason I have more anxiety at school than at home.

I get distracted alot during virtual learning because of the ‘side quest’ I can do at home.

This should be voiced to many more news outlets therefore more people are aware.

I agree with this article because I feel like virtual learning makes students lazier or they can learn in the environment they’re in.

I don’t think I could relate to most students last year on the subject of hating online school. For me, all online meant was I got to sleep more and didn’t have to wear a uniform. After actually being in the building, however, and getting to experience in-person learning after what feels like years, I’m finding keeping up with virtual learning a lot more difficult. Learning from a screen, and not being able to see and talk to peers just makes me lose the motivation I had to do work.
