Returning to in-person classes after a period of online learning can be a mix of emotions for students

and teachers, including excitement to see classmates and teachers in person, and also some
nervousness or anxiety about adjusting to a new environment. The experience will vary depending on
individual circumstances and perspectives. Returning to face to face classes is an uncertain experience
during this pandemic, as safety concerns are a legitimate worry. Whether it be students, parents, or
teachers, they all feel the added stress over having to be in a physical classroom environment again.
Fear of a potential exposure to the virus is a reality that we must face when transitioning back to face to
face classes, yet there are ways to approach it that lessen our anxieties. In this essay, I will discuss how it
feels to go back to face to face classes after completing a year of virtual learning.

The impact of returning to in-person learning after the pandemic has been widely discussed, but the
exact implications have yet to be determined.
It is important to consider the physical and psychological impact of the transition back to in-person
learning, as well as the potential for a rise in student absenteeism, which can lead to learning gaps. The
popularity of virtual learning has allowed students to adapt to the new normal of remote learning.
However, the transition back to in-person classes brings with it a certain level of anxiety. This could be
attributed to the increased contact with classmates (di ko maword pero dito na papasok yung sa
schrodinger na di mo malalaman if it will be a good experience unless you try/experience it again)

On one hand, there are those who argue that face-to-face classes are the best experience and that
students should be allowed to return to the classroom. On the other hand, there are those who argue
that the risks of returning to face-to-face classes are too great (covid precautions and shit) and that
students should continue to learn remotely.

Just like the cat in Schrödinger's thought experiment, the decision to go back to face-to-face classes is in
a state of quantum superposition. Until you experience it first hand, the thought of returning to face-to-
face classes is both a good experience and a bad one at the same time. The thought F2f is both a good
experience and a bad one unless you experience it again, and when you do, the state of the decision will
be observed and the debate will be settled.
