When East Lyme High School sophomore Tolby Regan is learning remotely, she finds it harder to stay motivated and focused, even though she knows how important schoolwork is to accomplish her goals in life.
She said she s very social and misses talking to people at school but worries that if she is around other people she could spread the virus to her family or people who are more at risk. I may be going through a hard time, but so is everybody else so as long as I keep up with the assignments that the teachers are assigning and doing all the work that I can right now, I ll be at the same level as everybody else, said Regan, who is following the high school s hybrid learning model.
