As Staples initially was learning through a hybrid model but has recently transitioned to full remote school, students are spending a substantial amount of time on Zoom. Some feel that staring at a screen all day can be draining while others feel that they are less stressed this year because they have more time to complete work thanks to the hybrid model, where classes meet only every other day.
