Does the proposed discount in sanitary guidelines for kids go within the course you anticipated?

That is an experience which we pay attention to. It’s as much as the state to arrange issues, and, since Might 11, the group has left a lot to be desired. Right now, most mother and father need their youngsters to return to highschool, to socialize, as a result of academic continuity shouldn’t be assured and particularly as a result of they’ve to return to work. We had been informed that the colleges have reopened, however not all mother and father who apply for a spot are happy.

The difficulty right here is that of carrying capability. If the purpose is to welcome all youngsters in good sanitary situations, then colleges aren’t sufficient. In France, we now have an inadequate college constructing downside. This was already the case earlier than the Covid.

Methods to resolve the scenario instantly?

It has been really useful for a number of weeks to open all public locations in order that college students are welcomed and supervised by professionals. Why ought to distance schooling, when it takes place, be performed with mother and father fairly than with an grownup whose job it’s?

However it’s out of the query that it’s the mother and father who proceed to take care of the youngsters. It’s as much as the general public authorities to offer schooling.
