Will highschool students after the pandemic want a system of education to be a hybrid of remote learning and in person learning?

As the pandemic persists over a year after the initial outbreak, it is imperative to keep an open mind on the innovations schools have adopted to continue teaching as it may benefit schools when permanently implemented in the correct manner. This study was conducted to open up discussion for the possible adaptation of a blended learning model permanently with a higher ratio of in-person learning or suggest alternative implementations of remote tools to in-person learning. Data was collected through surveying high school students and their opinions on such systems with the idea that experiments with  different learning models would be dangerous in the midst of the pandemic and that students should be included in this discussion as they are the ones impacted by this potential change the most. Results indicate that students are in favor of this blended learning model of four days of in-person instruction and one day of remote instruction as the drawbacks of the blended and e-learning model during the pandemic would be solved by such an implementation with the added benefits of more time for students to focus on healthy-activities. Additionally, the study indicates that many students are willing to try various implementations of remote tools to the school system. However, due to a small number of responses (n=66), this study is not extremely significant and may not apply to how a majority of students feel. Instead, this study should be taken as an introduction to the idea of implementing blended learning after the pandemic to attempt reaping the benefits of both e-learning and in-person learning.
