"They kind of saw it as a spring break," Majeed said. "They were excited until we started to realize kind of what was going on." After those three weeks, Majeed said, all his classes would come to be held virtually. His teachers set up what he called a "makeshift online school" that was "definitely unstructured." Majeed said students weren't prepared for it. "Going to school online is something completely new to us. It's not what we signed up for," he explained. "We definitely prefer in-person activities [and] in-person learning."
