I think that this is a really important thing to discuss. Mental health wasn’t built into the structure of modern day schools. I think that extra day simply dedicated to doing school work and getting help has really helped my stress levels as well as many others. However, in a non-online school format, do you think that one day would be plausible? Would it still be online even after COVID?

Nice post! You mainly discussed the effects of the early stages of the pandemic; Now that we are mostly a year into it, how do you think mental health has changed for college students? Many universities have released statements about returning to in-person learning next term(Check this out: https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2021/03/12/why-colleges-are-racing-tell-students-they%E2%80%99ll-be-open-person-fall), how are college students reacting to that news?

This was an interesting post. You mentioned that it cost roughly S10,000 to manufacture iBreastExam, would the device be sold to hospital in developing countries and how would the hospital operate and maintain such an elaborate device? Overall, I was intrigued by this post. However, I think it could be stronger if you included some of the common causes to breast cancer, and maybe compared the rates of breast cancer affecting women in developing countries vs. women in developed countries.

It is so crazy how fast we had to change the way we went to school. When the pandemic first hit teachers did not have much time at all to plan how they were going to handle being online. I agree that there is a big difference between being in elementary school or high school and doing online. In elementary you are being taught or figuring out right from wrong. In high school hopefully, you have that most of the way figured out. What do you think about the Salt Lake City school district going all online for the first little while? What do you think of Judge’s Plan compared to Sterling elementary? Do you think they made up for the difference between having elementary students and high school students?

Ceci, this is really the topic that a lot of people should focus on right now. But I think high school students are also pretty risky to do in-person classes like elementary school students because high school students will be also asymptomatic and they will more careless about those little signs of their body system. And the parents will less care about high school students than elementary school students since they are young adults who mostly think that they can take care of themselves most of the time. But it is hard decisions to make since both elementary and high school students need social interactions to build communication skills. The most important thing right now is to find the best solution for educations that could provide a safe environment and social interactions. Hybrid education could be the answer but I found an interesting article. Check it out!
