Corona Reflection
February 14, 2020 We’ve been getting a few emails about staying safe and taking precautions due to the coronavirus. Nothing too concerning. It’ll probably just blow over. It’s just as bad as the flu, right? I’m sure it won’t become this big pandemic everyone’s freaked out about.

Cheating In Schools: What Can Be Done?
In last year’s college admissions scandal, Rick Singer was accused of receiving twenty-five million dollars from rich parents to bribe coaches, create false athletic records, and doctor SAT scores (Westfall). The story underscores the win-at-all-costs measures taken by parents and students to get into highly competitive colleges at the expense of academic integrity regardless of the students’ qualifications. In recent years, there have been increasing numbers of cheating scandals. Approximately 75% of college students surveyed each year have admitted to having cheated at some point during their academic careers (Frank). This supports the notion that academic success is more important to students than learning the material. The question is why? Ideally, academic success is aligned to mastery of the material. However, when the pressure is on, students prioritize performing well even to the point of cheating over learning the material. This issue can be resolved if the education system changed to focus more on teaching for the sake of learning instead of teaching to the test.

Graduating Class of 2020
As a mom of a senior, I am struggling with the fact that this year's seniors may not get to walk across that stage and get a diploma on their graduation day. These kids have worked so hard to get to this place. Graduation signifies that you have completed your academic responsibilities, and now it is a time for celebration. It is an exceptional occasion and is something that they should celebrate with their classmates, friends, and families.

The Perspective of a Quaranteen...
To anyone who, upon reading the title alone, is about to criticise us for being selfish and missing the bigger picture of global health and well-being, let me premise this article with this: I completely understand the mass loss of life and suffering that is being experienced world-wide as a result of Corona Virus. I acknowledge the importance of school closures and just as everyone else is and should be doing, we are partaking in social distancing and self-isolation in the interest of flattening the curve and protecting the vulnerable. However, as a sixth year student in Scotland at the time of this outbreak, I feel that I am among a huge group of people in a particularly unique situation. I am among a group who had plans of prom, passing exams and progressing to University, in the same way that we watched hundreds of students from previous years do. Among a group of people who stuck out a final year in education, preparing for the day of their final paper, aiming to get their last qualifications needed to get to their dream course. Among a group excited to experience their graduation, last day and final farewell to their school experience and therefore, I am a small part of a huge global narrative that has yet to be provided: that of the graduating class of 2020.

Class of 2020 - your lost generation.
Crossing a stage, for less than 30 seconds, receiving a fake piece of rolled up paper that represents the last most significant portion of your life – spanning years, not just months – may seem trivial and unnecessary to some. But for others, this was a dream, a long awaited and well worked for goal – a fragile reality, that as it turns out was susceptible to breaking.
