The Top Ten

  1. No fights

    Don't you hate it when the hallways are blocked by people fighting over something dumb? Not a problem in virtual school!

  2. No bullies

  3. Never accidentally leaving stuff at home because you are home

    Normal school:

    "Ugh, I left my _____ at home!"

    Virtual School: All of my pencils, pens, binders, paper, and devices are here!

  4. Sleeping in

    No time spent on transportation = more time you get to sleep in!

  5. Not having to listen to people complaining in between classes

    My friends are awesome, but people at my school can be really... whiney. At home, I only have to listen to stuff that is necessary!

  6. No one sits in front of you and makes it hard to see

    My fellow short people know what I'm talking about. There needs to be a new word invented to describe distinct struggle of being stuck in a seat in the back of the room, behind someone SUPER TALL. Or, if you're really short, just someone average height. Then, you have to crane your neck and move around in all kinds of uncomfortable positions just to take notes! It's a pain. Literally. At home, on Zoom, YOU ARE FREE.

  7. Never having to loan your supplies to someone who doesn't give them back

  8. No uncomfortable chairs

    Chairs at School are "one size fits all" and have 0 cushion. They are ok for a bit, but not comfortable for an hour. At home, you can join Zoom sessions on the couch and never be uncomfortable!

  9. No fire/earthquake/intruder drills

  10. You can go to the bathroom without having to excuse yourself

    11. The Newcomers
  11. ?

    You can chew gum

  12. ?

    No jerks

    13. The Contenders

  13. No annoying couple drama

    This isn't a big problem at my school, but I would be very annoyed if it was.

  14. No one can stop you from eating in class

  15. The room you work in is the temperature you want it to be

    Every school seems to have a bunch of rooms that are always too hot or too cold. And there are kids and teachers who don't even notice, so it never gets fixed. When you aren't the right temperature, it is hard to learn. At home, you HAVE THE POWER OF THE THERMOSTAT.

  16. No backpack

  17. No gross bathrooms

  18. No need to travel to school

  19. You can see people's pets

  20. No items taken away because you are at home

  21. Sleeping during class

  22. Super easy to skip class

  23. Easier to cheat

  24. Get to wear pyjamas

  25. Get to have stuffed animals with you

  26. Getting to mess around
