![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.”](https://www.thedowneylegend.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/image1-1-1-900x675.jpg)

![Teachers and faculty were pleasantly surprised with this treat. Kelsey Simpson, assistant principal at DHS, expressed how talking to AJ was even better than the treat itself! “AJ is so smart, caring, and kind,” Simpson said. “What he is doing for teachers during this time is really awesome and selfless. He’s a great kid and I hope he comes to DHS next year!”](https://www.thedowneylegend.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Maya-2-.jpg)

![Managing the current chain of events with school dismissal, Mr. Navarro, Integrated Math and AP Calculus teacher, is taking it one day at a time. “The first week was difficult reaching my students because of technical issues with Khan Academy, where I assign work to my students. I would try to reach my students that I could not see that they completed the assignment and they would not reach back.” Mr. Narravo stated. “I am feeling better now, I am finding more time to be available to my children. I am spending more time playing with them and chasing them around because they lost all their playtime with their friends from school.”](https://www.thedowneylegend.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/t3.jpg)
