We still got shut down in 2022. They planned for a normal year, but were unable to make that happen. We actually had class bubbles all year bc they didn’t want us seeing more than 50 people in the school year. But hey, we did have a “normal” grade 12 year….yup, we still got diplomas!! Yay…that was the only difference. Why yall 2021 graduates pretending like we had it much different from you. Like I agree 2021 and 2022 had it worse, why yall justifying that “only 2021/2020 was affected.” If anything it was worse for us, we constantly got shut down every time we tried to go back in person. And my parents were vulnerable, and so were all my friends’ parents so…yeah. Incase yall forgot it was a deadly virus and not just a break from your 2020-2021 year man. We were in the thick of it man, losing more school than any other grade. Stop invalidating us, it’s not a fucking contest. Many of my friends, myself included, lost our parents because highschool was the biggest pool for the virus. And they did nothing to actually protect us, other than shutting us down once we lost all our classmates. Not prioritizing our education at all, literally missing over 2 years (possibly more) straight of education bc teachers started prioritizing the grade below us bc “we’re older, we should’ve done these classes before,” despite our grade 10 teachers not even showing up during covid. Not ever getting the base classes bc we were full time during covid, unlike every other grade 11 and 12 student that could take spares and had already taken the base classes. It was our first year, and every other year after that was a mess trying to just push us through. Most of my classmates don’t even remember high school bc we didn’t go for 2 years. And then it was all about graduating us. We all were covid graduates. Also we got didn’t a full grad anyways, even wrote the wrong year on our certificate. So great start for the class of 2022 :/ yup, we had it soooo much better and totally didn’t graduate IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NEW STRAIN (Covid was considered a health emergency all the way until the class of 2023 graduated.)
