“That’s it! F*ck it.” Ainsley Robinson said prior hitting send on an email, a plea to her teacher, right before joining said teacher’s online classroom. Like many of her peers, she is protesting the increased workload assigned through the public school’s online learning policy.
Ainsley is a well-adjusted student having two older brothers to influence her academic choices and routines. Her concerns, though personal, are echoed by peers.
“I can handle the work, its just the lack of communication.” She said after class, some of her peers did not do that day’s assignment. “It’ll take a week or two into June to get through everything.”
Ainsley feared the school’s semester will be “supplemented” with online courses during the summer months, something even her teachers are protesting.
“Nobody’s trying to fall behind some people just work differently,” she said referring to many students who have no issue showing up in person, “If a teacher counts attendance online...” Seemingly at the thought of attendance made her tense in anger and stop talking.
“Its all just a mess and I think they’re trying to hide that from us (the students),” she said, “I think everyone feels the same way.” Knowing her friends would back her up if their teacher raised the “problematic emails sent by students” she only worries about staying afloat.
