Award winning drama department teacher, Christopher Nelson, tells The Downey Legend that inside of class A215, the general student attitude towards work is greatly improving. Since too many students have their cameras off during zoom, hybrid is better but still not as good as fully returning to school, which is why Nelson enjoys the 2021-2022 school schedule and is adjusting very well. As someone who enjoys watching his students perform, and as someone who loves to perform, it was hard to see the lack of energy coming from his classes last year, “There was this worry that kids wouldn’t know how to come back to school and there would be so much anxiety,” Nelson stated. “Which I think that exists, but I think mostly people have been really happy to be around other people.”
