Face-to-Face: Ready?!?

Our grade 5 young miss will be having face-to-face classes at her school soon. I had seen some arrows with opposite directions the last time I got her weekly modules. It seems the teachers are also preparing for it. These young kids deserve not to hibernate for a long time at home, but they need to because of this killer virus. At present, the school is being inspected for this reason. Are your kiddies start to go to school physically now?

Same thing here. But I still doubt if it is safe to do it.

I am also skeptical about this idea. The parents were oriented with the health protocols today.

Kids have been going to in-person classes for a long time now. Since the 21-22 school year started. I think it's important that kids do attend school. Keeping them locked up anywhere, carries a higher risk of illness because kids aren't being active.

It is also one of the concerns here. I am sure it will be safe because of the heath protocols that need to be practiced at schools now.

I guess that is the general direction of everything right now. Schools opening next year will have face-to-face or hybrid as they call it half online and half offline classes. I am pretty much curious how this will happen next school year especially those in the public schools where the students will mostly be in FTF classes.

I am sure some parents are still whining about this concern.

@Shavkat True after two years of being locked up at home. Most have hesitancy of going out. But I think we should start going out again since that is the normal way of doing things.

@rsa101 You have a point. I am more comfortable with my niece because she got her vaccines previously.

It is good for children to go to school to learn as the result is better. Besides, children need to have friends. Do the precautions well and the Omicron shall not be so harmful for many people.

@Shavkat Yes, it is. I don't agree to it at all. It is crazy and making situation worse only.

@youless In our case, lock down is effective here. It seems that we have a low case lately. I did sleep well last night.

I hope they will be fine while having classes online. I heard that random locked down is happening in your country now.

No. I do not agree with face to face classes. The online set-up works just fine.

@Shavkat I do not understand the logic behind this decision.

@allen0187 It seems it is more of an economic concern or trying to be living a new normal life.

Our students were back to school since the past month of September, when schools reopened.

I am glad that they were back to school last September. It is happening here now.

@LadyDuck That's a good thing to do. I think it is not the same thing here.

@Shavkat Both students and teachers are tested every week.

We have a school opposite us and regularly see the children coming and going. The parents all wear masks. Some of the children do too but not all.

Even my niece is fully vaccinated, I keep on telling her to wear face masks, especially at school now.

Indonesian students have been going to offline classes since the start of the second semester this year. Our family lives close to an elementary and high school, so every day I run into children passing by our house after school. I saw some of them had taken off their masks. It's great that they can attend in-person lessons, but I think their teachers need to be more firm about the mask mandate since most of the kids here haven't received their vaccine boosters. Better safe than sorry.

It is also the same thing here. It has been more than 2 years that they are doing online classes. We also think that it is about time for them to go to school physically.
