NBC Connecticut spoke with returning students and parents at Hillhouse High School on Monday.
“I’m done sitting on my butt at home just to do school because I do better in a learning environment compared to working at home,” said Zamya Adams, a junior at Hillhouse High School.
The district brought high school students back on a hybrid model for two days a week of in-person learning. The other three days, students will continue learning from home.
“A lot of people I know are very skeptical about us going back to school and that’s why I kind of hope there’s not a lot of students compared to the people that are staying home. That’s good because it would keep the risk lower in my opinion,” said Adams.
