REFLECTION WRITING TIME: Let's talk about Covid!

1) How was the lockdown for you (positive and negative sides). According to you, was it a good idea? 

The first month of lockdown was very difficult and hard to manage because it was the first time we were experiencing something like this. At the beginning, working online doing video calls with our teachers and classmates was strange but we finally got used to it.

Apart from that, we didn’t do the full six hours as we used to do before quarantine and we did a video call once or twice a week (depending on the teacher). Also, we did some exams online but we could check our notes or books while doing them if the teacher was not keeping an eye on us. 

2) What do you think of the measures being applied in the school? What do you think of the anti-maskers? 

I personally think the applied measures in the school are the right and the most logical ones to save us from Coronavirus, so it is very necessary to respect them to avoid a new lockdown.

Talking about the anti-maskers, I think they can believe in whatever they want and I respect them, even though I absolutely disagree with them because the Coronavirus is causing a lot of damage in the world. So the anti-maskers should realise the real danger of that virus and stop playing with human’s health.

3) What do you think of the role of the media in all this situation? 

I think they are doing a great job informing us of any news related to Covid-19. Although there are other important things to talk about that maybe we don’t know because the journalists are just explaining the same all the time. So apart from Coronavirus, it would be necessary to inform us of other problems in the world.

4) How well do you think our leaders have responded to the coronavirus crisis? If you were in a leadership position, what would you do differently?

In my opinion, they were in a hard situation with a lot of pressure where they had to decide the measures that most of the people are following now. Also they had to decide and organize what to do with the lockdown and how it would be in our daily life. So I think they have done a good job, although they could have been more strict with the people who didn’t respect the measures then and right now.
