Both students and teachers are struggling with burnout as they try to adjust to the new normal of online school and some are expressing their frustrations online, calling on the education system for help.
"There are some days where I can sit and complete my work and other days where nothing seems to click in my brain, and I just can't find the motivation to complete the work," she said."It was like every day I became less and less motivated." For 23-year-old Lauren Camarillo, who's in her first year of grad school in Missouri, she hopes teachers know that not every student's home is a safe haven or the best environment for them to stay focused in.
Trudyann Hyde, an 18-year-old first-year college student in Florida, said the actual workload has been hard to keep up with on its own. But it's the extra work to try to get in touch with her professors, or reach out for extra support, that's been the most tedious part. "Some professors have not been great with communicating [while] others tried to work with me and I truly appreciate that."Jones raised a similar point. She said many of her professors are doing their best and have been"very supportive in light of this huge adjustment." However, some are expecting every student to rise to the occasion without providing any additional resources on their end.
