With the first semester of school coming to an end and the holiday season around the corner, FPYC wanted to take this time to reflect on how Covid-19 is impacting the lives of high school students around the United States. It often seems like governors and representatives are talking on behalf of students everywhere when deciding their school plans instead of listening to them and how they feel. So this week we wanted to do things a little differently. We wanted to give high school students a place where they could feel heard when expressing their struggles with distance or hybrid learning. The podcast team, along with special guest Zoya, spent this week compelling anecdotes from high school students around the country.
