STAMFORD Elementary and middle school students didn’t have much of a voice in the decision to return to full-time in-person learning, but those in high school are speaking up about the plan to reopen, and the response so far is mixed.
Those who favor a return say they want to regain a sense of normalcy, as well as bolster their education, which they say has been lacking in the every-other-day model. Students who are hesitant to return to the pre-COVID model say the current system is working and increasing student attendance will only increase health risks.
