This is a story that I hope remains fiction. However, this is probably a newer version of what students have thought since the first lesson on the savannah.

Iets not my fault that I was not able to do the assignment.
First everyone already knows the answer. Interviewing someone who had lived through the first years of Covid to find out what they thought was the biggest change to schools. Why bother asking??????.
More ridiculous was adding that this could not be just a recording of the interview, but that we had to write are own perspective of what was said. Why take time repeating what someone else says in different words?????.
Iets also dumb to require a list of questions from preparing the interview. You already given the question to ask. What more questions when the answers are in wikis.
I asked my parents but they refused saying that Grandpa Weingarden was a school teacher then, before becoming the head of the Teachers Union and sent to prison.
I don’t like him. He never answers questions directly giving references and gets off track and is always angry when he talks about the past. He doesint like me either, always disappointed when he asks me questions. At least you didint require in person.
I asked my other grandparents, but they too said that Weiney was the best. Couldint ask his spouse who had been a teacher too, she died of Covid back then.
When we connected he didn’t answer the question, just as guessed. Instead he said school drills were the biggest change.
He went on and on that back then for attacks on schools the teachers manually locked the doors and kids laid down on the floor. So what. Everyone knows this and we have a year’s exercise of the school and cops to practice, though those can be fun unless adults get too serious.
He then went on about how fire drills have changed. It was a little interesting that back then everyone at the school went to an outside area and waited for fire response. Why would anyone think its a good idea to go where they could be shot at and where a bomb might be for a crowd and risk illness by mixing groups. He said it was good that schools now have monthly practices on fighting fires. I got my firefighter team certificate recently, though like everyone I know how to use school firefighting panels. He said that back then kids would fake fire alarms. He didint explain why and how people could think they could get away with a crime in a school.
He finally talked about outbreak drills being new. Big give. Those are just like weather days where it is too hot, cold, or stormy to safely go to school practicums. We get practice whenever someone gets sick, having to wear bubble faces until health tests, besides most modules are online. The only difference is that for outbreak drill days we use medinostics and data input. Not even sure why that is needed when there is already screening at school, many are monitored 24/7 and there are real outbreaks about once a month.
At least he did not ask me any questions.
Thanks for wasting 85 minutes of my life doing yet another useless history module of listening and then dictexting what was said.
