Table 4.

Students

Support for frequent testing
I would want to get tested every single day, just because it’s the most responsible thing to do. I would want them to test every student every day to make sure no positive student gets in.
Maybe three times a week just due to the fact that testing can be expensive and very difficult and time consuming.
I’d rather have to be tested every day, than stay at home for another five months.
Physical discomfort
Some people say it hurts. Since it would be my first time and I’ve never taken it before, I would definitely be a little bit nervous.
Having the ones that go all the way up [the nose], I don’t know if that could be a solution for everyday kind of testing. But I am totally okay with any of the swab ones, because I think that’s something people can just get used to.
I think the better one to do would be a throat swab or the spit ones, because I think, because those would be a lot easier for the students to manage comfortably.
Online vs. in-person school
I like distance learning because I think it’s easier. The teachers do a lot of open book tests which is easy. Distance learning just gives you a bit of independence, to be able to control what you have to do.
You wake up and sit in front of your computer for six hours. When you actually went to school each day was a little different and more exciting or surprising.
I don’t personally like distance learning just because it’s so mentally exhausting having to sit at a desk for eight hours all day. And you don’t have any motivation. If we were in physical school, we would have the teachers telling us to do our work and we would have our friends, but now it’s just like you become so distant from people, because all you do is sit at a desk all day and do work.
