To the Editor:

I am writing about the experience of home school. I am a third grader at Hawley school and I very much miss being at school with my friends and teacher. I have had a lot of trouble with home school, let me tell you a little about it. Almost everyday when I log into my Google classroom, I have internet problems.

The website will not load and the Chromebook I have is older and slow. I have used advice from grown ups, but it only helps sometimes. Another thing I need to tell you is that when I am on the computer all day I get headaches. The times that I can not get into the Google classroom or I get knocked off I’m missing learning and when I return, I’m not sure what they are doing. I do not want to interrupt my teacher, so I get frustrated. All of this is causing me to not like school anymore.

It is upsetting because when were in school I was having fun and learning so much. We did everything in school to try and be safe and none of us got sick. I do not want to learn from a computer screen anymore. I want to learn from my teacher, do fun things and see my friends.
