"The end is near...are you prepared for 12th grade? How has the coronavirus quarantine hurt or helped you?"

"The end is near...are you prepared for 12th grade? How has the coronavirus quarantine hurt or helped you?" was a prompt on a school assignment I had in high school. It features a commentary about how during Covid-19 there was many accomadations made for people to be able to carry on their lives, while disabled people who could have used the same accomadations all along were denied them before now.



I think I am prepared for 12th grade.

The coronavirus has hurt me in the sense that I'm getting cabin fever...

However it has helped me in a way that it proves people can work from home. People can study and do school from home.

In the ways that it helped me though it also makes a lot of people look like hypocrites.

For example, when I wasn't participating in gym class since I was on home instruction, they were making me write essays. Essays. For gym.

When I complained about it Some People literally said that if there was a way to prove I was exercising from home instead we could do that but there wasn't.

Fast forward to Covid-19, the school's shut down, everyone's 'oh no whatever shall I do's.

Suddenly, everyone is being asked to fill out a form per day about an exercise that they did from home.

This, frankly, makes me very angry and frustrated. When I needed the adaptions they weren't there but now everyone's "stuck" at home and suddenly these allowances can be made.

There are other, similar examples... Ones that also make me annoyed, but this one bothers me the most.
