Like students throughout California (USA), students in the West Contra Costa Unified school district, in Richmond, have coped with distance learning instituted this year in response to the coronavirus pandemic. Today, we are bringing you these students! reflections on their current experiences with distance learning and being out of school - what worked and what didn't. Students' remarks have been edited in some instances for clarity.

 

Nayeli Mercado, 15, sophomore, Richmond High

Before distance learning, my mental health was never great, but it was controllable. However, once quarantine
started, I have felt way more mentally exhausted because I can't go out. Also, I've been really emotional. I get really sad over little things or angry at things I shouldn't get angry about. I used to complain about school a lot but I kind of miss it now. I miss my friends, teachers, attending class. I miss school in general.

 

I Alizei De Leon, 15, sophomore, Middle College High I have about the same amount of homework, or maybe a little less in this second year since some teachers are trying to make this easier. Additionally, I don't have to study as much for tests anymore since some teachers have cancelled tests for the rest of the year... I spend about three to four hours on homework per day unless l've - already finished all my work that week. I'm getting through my classes, but I know that I will forget most of this information throughout the summer.

 

Ricardo Castillo, 17, senior, Richmond High At first, when this distance learning started, I thought the work was going to be easier. But then, as time passed, everything just fell apart. I'm behind in all of my classes and it's nearly impossible to catch up. I can't do the work on my own. I want to learn with my classmates. Distance learning changed a lot of things for me. I wasn't able to spend time with my friends and my last year of high school hasn't been what I expected at all.

 

Yashika Joshi, 17, senior, Aspire College Prep Academy Distance learning has been difficult. Its been hard to manage, teaching yourself through assignments... I try to do my work when everybody is asleep at night. If I was at school, I would've learned much more due to a teacher paying more attention. Teachers are assigning work on a daily basis, with 45 minutes to hour-long assignments for each class, all due at the end of the week. The workload has increased a lot. Some teachers have reached out (checked in) but not often.

 

Dana Reyes, 18, senior, Middle College High

My classes are all being taught virtually, through email, or through Google Classroom. I have pushed my self- determination to the max and I'm experiencing somethingvery strange. I am still receiving the content  but now I have to work twice as hard to understand the material. Sometimes, it is discouraging, and I get unmotivated, but I still try my best to finish early even though teachers and staff have been very flexible and understanding with due dates.

 

Mekayla Saechao, 16, junior, Richmond High

Distance learning for me so far has been difficult but manageable. Most of my classes consist of completing work that is posted on Google Classroom with a Zoom meeting every other week. I don't believe I'm learning as much as I would have in school because I'm not getting a lesson from my teachers every day. My teachers have helped a lot by answering questions about assignments quickly... To tell you the truth, it is a lot to manage since Im not physically at school, working with my classmates andteachers. But being at home in my comfort zone has
helped me become more organized with my works.

 

Monishila Maharaj, 18, senior, Richmond High

Although I have assignments from almost all of my classes every day, almost back-to-back, I always feel like I can do the work whenever I want to... It's like fighting with my brain daily to do the work or not to do the work. As much as I wouldn't want to do online learning, I know it benefits everyone by preventing them from getting sick from the virus.

 

Sarahi Yupit, 16, sophomore, Richmond High

tis hard to concentrate at home during distance learning because I don't feel motivated to do the work since there is nobody my age whereas at school, I feel motivated. It seems like its easier to do the tasks and stay on task. There are teachers who teach the actual material. They also motivate you to do your best.

Texto introdutório para a questão.

A banda Queen foi uma banda britânica de rock, fundada em 1970 e recentemente teve parte de sua trajetória de sucesso dramatizada no cinema com a obra “Bohemian Rhapsody”.
No encerramento do filme, durante os créditos finais, há a exibição do clipe de uma das mais famosas músicas da banda: “Don't Stop Me Now”.

 

O neurocientista Jacob Jolij (Universidade de Groningen, Holanda) concluiu, em sua pesquisa de 2016, que essa “é a música mais feliz da história”.
Um trecho da música traduzida, ao lado da letra original de Freddie Mercury, é reproduzido abaixo:

 

Don't Stop Me Now

Tonight Im gonna have myself a real good time

I feel alive

And the world, [ll turn it inside out, yeah!

I'm floating around in ecstasy

So don't stop me now

Don't stop me

 

Cause I'm having a good time, having a good

time / I'm a shooting star leaping through the sky

Like a tiger defying the laws of gravity

I'm a racing car passing by,

like Lady Godiva

I'm gonna go, go, go

There's no stopping me

I'm burning through the sky, yeah!

Two hundred degrees / That's why they call me

Mister Fahrenheit

I'm travelling at the speed of light

I'm wanna make a supersonic man out of you

Não Me Pare Agora
Esta noite eu vou me divertir de verdade
Eu me sinto vivo
E o mundo, eu vou virá-lo do avesso, yeah!
Estou flutuando por aí em êxtase
Então não me pare agora
Não me pare

 

Porque eu estou me divertindo, me divertindo
Eu sou uma estrela cadente saltando pelo céu
Como um tigre desafiando as leis da gravidade
Eu sou um carro de corrida passando por aí,
como Lady Godiva
Eu vou, vou, Vou, vou
E nada vai me deter
Eu estou queimando pelo céu, yeah!
Duzentos graus / E por isso que me chamam de
Senhor Fahrenheit
Estou viajando na velocidade da luz
Eu quero transformá-lo num homem supersônico

    Freddie Mercury está rápido demais nessa canção! Para expressar toda a sua euforia, o autor afirma querer “transformá-lo num homem supersônico”.
    Um supersônico é aquele que se move acima da velocidade do som, que mede cerca de 340 m/s no ar.

    Considerando que um homem de massa 80 kg pudesse ser acelerado do repouso até começar a mover-se à velocidade do som, qual seria aproximadamente a quantidade de energia cinética desse homem?
