In all honesty i have mixed emotions about the decisions many are deciding to make wether going back to school or staying in online school. I mean i would like the idea of going back to school yet i dont want to risk my chances of getting covid and bringing covid home with me to spread. Despite that i would like to go also because online school its to much at this point. Its extra work and harder to learn due to many distractions. In conclusion id like to go back to school yet im afraid i might get covid and spread it to loved ones.

In my opinion ,schools shouldnt be allowed to return in person . only because corona is still around and theres a high risk someone will pass it around . This news will affect us locke community by having us think were allowed back , but we arent because we are not lausd district .

My thoughts about that are mixed. I do want t o go back because I prefer to be in school physically but I don't want to go back because I like being home.Well I feel like some lock student families would not like for their children to go back, but some need their children to go back because they have to work and nobody to take care of them.I just think it's a very hard decision and mixed answers.

To be honest in my opinion I think we should not go back to school because even though everyone is supposed to return to school with the shot so we don't get it there is still a chance for us since corona does spread and someone in that school could possibly have it and not know. Going back to school in person would honestly make things a lot easier for everyone who struggles to do school online because doing school at home online I feel like honestly makes you get more lazy and also because we don't learn much at home on a screen, so at the same time I think they should wait on allowing us to return to school in person.

I feel like the reopening of schools is too soon. There are still high numbers of the corona virus infections in California. Personally, I don't feel safe going back to school knowing that many kids have not taken the virus and quarantine seriously. Overall, I think this news is going to be very controversial. To the kids that have been struggling to learn during distance learning, this news will be positive and a relief. To those whose families have been affected by the virus, this news will be scary.

Personally I am happy on the thought of going back to school and learning in person and playing sports. Yes, my family agrees that I should go back to school in person. i feel like this news will be good for some family's of Locke and others won't be so happy, because there is still a virus but I think most people will take it for good news.

I would be relieved if we could finally go to school once again. However, I do know that it still a danger to do that, but vaccines are around the corner... It is the true middle point. It would be good so students finally can have a normal education, going to school in person with the teachers being there and not behind a screen saying "Do the PDF" and muting themselves for the rest of the class. But also it is a danger to do because it is not secure yet, and things like creating another spread is not a good idea. Personally, I'm fine with both scenarios. Is fun to play here in my house when I finish the work early and the class hasn't finished. But if we go back also is fine. The only thing is, "Is it secure?".

I think its a bad decision just because I feel like its too risky. I don't want to go and get sick, I don't even want to risk it. Although I do want to go back so that I can play football I still feel like we should wait until we are safer because I don't want the virus to spread any further. I think most other students feel the same way I do.

my thoughts on this are a bit concerned about opening this early. My family does want me to return, but not I'm not convinced as they are. I honestly don't believe Locke high school can even provide to bring the material to use for safety to the students. This will effect the community if we open because like I said Locke may not have the material to help the students and if it doesn't go well students and staff members can get sick

I want to come back to school to play football and run track however for me i don't think a year of sports is worth giving my family covid because my dad and grandmother has a lot of health issues. this puts me at a crossroads because i dont want to put my life on hold nor do i want to be the cause of my family members getting sick.

I have mixed feelings about going back to in-person learning. While I prefer in-person learning to online learning because I get more work done and have less distractions, I don´t think that I´ll be able to handle anything other than the online schedule for the classes. I just prefer the online schedule. There´s also my worry of getting COVID. There is no insurance that COVID won´t be spread despite precautions.

Personally, I been wanting to go back because its easy to get distracted while at home and through these computers you really cant get the help you need while however at school the teacher will come right to you explaining it in person rather then giving short replies in the chat. My family also agrees on this you get more things done while at school since you dont have a way to be distracted due to the teacher redirecting your focus from whatever it is that you are doing.

I agree with you because this way is the only way how we don't attract COVID19 into our respiratory system and get sick or probably even worse pass on. We have to stay safe during this time, so that we can get focus on school. Even though, we will have a less interactive classroom, we still have to abide by the rules of the government.

In my opinion, we need to come back to school because distance learning is affecting at us as students. Distance learning have advantages but it is causing more depression and bad vibes on students. Personally, I want to come back at school because is difficult to get focus during classes at home. On the other hand, I think this news will impact students in a good way because they need go to school and socialize like before.

In my opinion I don't think schools should reopen because we still have covid cases going around and I feel like we're putting students and their families at risk of getting covid. I feel like it's best to return when we know the cases have gone down and it's a bit more safe. My family and I believe it is not safe for me to return but then there are parents that prefer their children to go back because they have jobs and it's easier for them. I think this news will bring many mixed emotions and have parents think in what's best for their kids

In my opinion, I think we should not go back to school because there is still a virus going around it's just starting to go away because of the vaccines. Everyone does not have the chance to get the vaccine so why risk students lives because others want to return back to school. I don't like doing school from home either but I'd rather be safe then sorry because I don't want to get sick and end up getting my family members sick. My family thinks we should return back to school until the next school year because we want to give time for the vaccines to do it's job and for everyone to get the vaccine to keep all of us safe. If LAUSD schools return back to school then it's most likely that our school Locke with return back also.

I'm glad that schools in LAUSD are finally going to reopen and if only it wasn't for the fact that my parents don't want me to return then i'd be more excited. My mother has underlying conditions and my father is a smoker so untill they're both fully vaccinated i'll respect their worries and be hestitant to go back. I believe that other students in a position similar to mine are probably facing the same conflictions but i'm happy for those who will finally be able to bask in the full benefits of in person learning.

I personally wouldn't want to go back to school because of the nervousness ill be caring around. Being in high school I know for a fact that if we go back and have to wear mask, not everyone is going to follow those rules. Some students are still not responsible enough to have on masks or stay within 6 feet from others during school. So If I go back I will definitely be scared I will get Covid.

Well my thoughts about going back to school and having it re-open is that we really shouldn't but if the district wants to open then students shouldn't be force to go back. Well I don't want myself to return and my family is the same way we all say no. Well how will this impact me is by still saying no and not wanting to go back but for the locke community I believe that will try to get kids to come back.

In all honesty, I would love to go back to a classroom setting and to be back on a campus. I think it'll be so much better than this virtual learning. But the reality is that I'm also kinda of scared because Covid-19 is still around and just the idea of going back to school and being around people again is frightening. My mom is all for the students being able to go back on campus, because she says the students really aren't learning through the distance learning program.

We shouldn't go back because the virus is still spreading and it isn't 100% save. Also I don't see the point in going for a couple of weeks when we are already used to zoom.

I think it's a good thing that's happening but I still believe that it's still risky for us to back to school. I always hear from a friend that is going to in-person learning and she says there's either 5 to 7 cases reported each day. They have safely precautions and still get cases. So I think it's still to soon to go back to school.

I'm in between about us returning back to school but I'm still on the 'no' side. Corona is still around so its too risky for us to go back since we'll be putting ourselves (the students), the staff and our family in danger once we go back home and i don't want that :(

Note, most teachers have not been vaccinated, students as well. I think it would be best if students go back when school hallways are 100% safe and when staff are vaccinated. People interested in sports can participate at games, however, I think being inside a classroom is not yet safe. Although classrooms may have better ventilation, keeping away from another tier would be a lot stressful. I do think the plan may carry out successful as well, if taken seriously. I hope all goes well for students attending in-person learning.

Going back to school safely would be a hopeful plan and especially starting sports back up once again. I also think every student is joyful to hear these things. However, I think it wouldn't be fair for the 9th graders to start going to school first because they still have 3 years left of school and on the other hand Seniors only have this last year left.

In my opinion the news about schools reopening shouldnt be a good idea just because of how many cases are still happening. If cases get high meanwhile we are at school theres a chance cases will increase even more. To me i believe that any school around the city shouldnt open up yet until the cases become so low that its safe enough to the point where we dont need masks no more. Once we can manage to that point then i believe the news of schools reopening will be a good idea. Yes there are students that say they learn better in person than online but it would be safer trying to adapt at online learning at home then in person.

in my opinion we would and wouldnt like to go back to school, the first reason on wanting to go back is because distance learning isnt for everyone and even though it may be online it is still stressfull and it gets to you, its also a good way to socialize. The reason we wouldnt go back would be theres still a chance that someone might get the virus and spread it all around. This news may confuse some as covid is still spreading with no signs of stopping, going back to school is a risk in my fulll honest opinion
