Fifteen days after a devastating fire destroyed parts of Pacific Palisades and affected Palisades Charter High School, students returned to Zoom classes. Many, like senior Jonathan Fuhrman, faced anxiety over the shift to online learning, reminiscent of their experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic. The high school remains largely unusable, prompting the need for virtual education, which was met with mixed emotions among students—some welcomed a schedule, while others struggled with feelings of uncertainty and grief over the fire's impact on their community and peers, especially those who lost their homes.
Fuhrman expressed, "I wonder if people will be on camera," highlighting students' anxieties about returning to online classes amid another educational disruption.
The transition back to virtual learning was met with mixed feelings, from relief for a structured schedule to anxiety about teachers struggling with technology.
