Concerning the decisions taken by the Minister of Education which authorise students to go back to school, I guess that if I were a parent, I wouldn’t send my children there. Indeed we are facing a critical situation that has to be taken seriously. Two months ago, the government asked the whole population to stay home to be safe, only to go outside in case of need and to follow basic preventative measures. Sending voluntary students in class with masks and gloves is a bad idea. Plus, the social distancing can’t be respected at school because of the number of students who will probably go there. Permitting the half of a class to go to school isn’t possible indeed in some classes, there are sometimes more than 30 students. Scientists and professionals explain that even if we put gloves on, everything we touch can possibly be touched by someone else and be a way of transmission of the virus. Before allowing people to go outside, use public transport, meet other people, we have to check with tests if everyone is safe and isn’t positive for coronavirus. We still have to prevent the spread of the virus and to be patient for the remaining time. It’s very dangerous to send children to school because they can transmit the virus around them. To my mind, the government made this decision for the family with economic problems indeed the parents have to work to give their children enough to live. For instance, in suburbs people often live in poorer conditions and school is the only way for them not to spend too much money: children eat at the cafeteria for nearly nothing. In another case, for families with small kids it is a good news that schools open soon because the children will be taken care by education staff while parents will go to work. Finally this decision is a controversial issue but we all have to keep in mind that we have to stay home and be careful in the next weeks and months.
Hello everyone, If I were a parent, sending my children back to school would depend on a couple of things. Firstly, it would depend on the state of health of the people living in our household. If everyone is healthy then I would probably allow my kids to go back. Secondly, it would depend on the means our household has for homeschooling. If we didn't own a computer, or only had one for the whole family making it very difficult to share between school for the kids and work for the parents then I would send them back to school so that they can get the education they deserve. I wouldn't want our financial situation to incapacitate their education. I would also take in account how they feel about going back to school if they were old enough to fully understand what is going on. I would want to take in account their feelings especially if they were scared to go back ! It would also depend on my availability and my partner's. If we were both going back to work and no one was available to watch our kids, I would prefer them to go back to school. And finally, it would depend on my partner's opinion as well. I would want to make sure that they are also on board with the children going back to school. Thank you for reading. Hannah SWAN [TS5]
We have been on quarantine for almost 40 days now, and it begins to be long. I think that if I were a parent, I would send my child back school, because I think it's better for them to study at school than home, and thanks to that, he can see his friends again, and return to a "normal" life. In my opinion staying at home all the time, and always studying by himself at home is not the best thing for kids. Moreover, kids need to play, run, see their friends and meet new people, but especially let off steam. Even though you hang out with your child/children one hour per day, I think that it's not enough. So yes, I think that if my children were in good health, I would send them back to school, but with some conditions: to be well protected (wearing a mask for example and know how to use it) and in good health. Of course, if they had a respiratory illness, or something that increases the risks to catch the virus, I'm not sure to let him go. If he was in good health and protected, I don't knowing why I shouldn't let him to go back to school. Finally, I am optimistic, and I hope that we will go back to school one day, even if it's not on the same conditions as before.
If I were a parent, there would be lots of points to consider before making up my mind and sending my children back to school. First and foremost, there would have to be a lot of safety measures at school and willing teachers because it wouldn’t be fair to force teachers to go back to school if it’s risky. Then, it would depend on my children’s desire to go back or not. If I am available to help them do their work at home, there would be no pressure to send them back to school especially at the end of the year. Finally, I would need to be sure that there is no one at risk at home because it would be too stressful for them to have this responsibility. I believe there would be no rush for me.
Hello everyone, If I was a parent, I don't know if I will send my children back to class. I think my opinion will depend on the class where they are, if they were in kindergarten or elementary, I could not send them back. On the other hand if they were in a class like the final or the third one I will probably send them back because for my part I think that it is a year of validation of skills which is essential for the following studies. Unfortunately, schools are places where the virus spreads widely and even if children do not necessarily develop it, they can transmit it to their families and to their grandparents who can develop it in more serious forms. It is very difficult for very young people to comply with barrier measures or to wash their hands regularly. According to the scientific council, schools could reopen if the pupils (for middle and high school students) wore masks, did not meet in the corridors, were at 15 in maximum class, stayed only in the same room and had to eat in a classroom to avoid contact with other students. These instructions are very difficult to follow and create a sad atmosphere. At the moment we are still isolated, so stay at home !! Juliette Brinon TS2

If I were a parent I don't know if I would send my chil back to school now. Indeed, if my child is in school I think it’is important that he goes back to school for his education, but I think he would be too small to understand that he does not have the right to play with his friends and that he must make barrier gestures. On the other hand, if my child is in middle school or high school I think I could send him to class because he is taller and more mature to understand the gestures and situations to have in this exceptional period. However, I would only send my child back if no one in the family is sick. But also my availability if I have to go back to work and that I cannot leave my child alone. It’s really difficult to make this decision because the instructions are difficult and the lessons would not be as before. DUCROQUET Margaux TS4
The current health situation is particular. It’s why the government decided to take exceptional measures, such as closing schools on March 17, for example. The school’s reopening on Monday the 11th of May only based on voluntary, raises many questions, like if children can go back to school or not. As a parent, I find it’s difficult to accept that my children must return in the scholastic system if the goods precautions are not taken before the reopening. In France, the government takes the decision to send children back to school voluntarily without wearing masks and gloves to protect them. So, I think that I can’t send my children back to school if they don't have the opportunity to protect themselves a minimum from the epidemic. Moreover, I think that sending the children back to school after two months of confinement would be as if all our efforts since the beginning of the crisis have been for nothing. So if my personal situation allows me, I would keep my children with me and don’t put them back on the scholastic system at this time.
re-opening of schools / if children school go back / as a parent I would find it difficult / should return to school / if the right / I wouldn't / if They didn't
It would depend on several things. First of all, if I have to go back to work and no one can keep my child, I would have no choice but to send him at school. However even if I can keep it, if I feel that the conditions at home for him to learn are not good enough. I would tell him to go to school because it is essential to be educated when you are young. Neverthelesst still going to school would represent a risk of spreading the virus so if my child can stay at home and is able to study well he will not have to go to school. Amélie TS2
To my mind, if I were a parent I would first think of the health of my child, I think this is the most important think. Therefore, if my child were very young it would be probably impossible for me to choose to quit his education for the rest of this year. Although it is very important for young children to continue their education properly, it is more dangerous because they are not aware of the situation. They aren't able to protect themselves with the hygiene rules. Indeed, teenagers are more likely to protect themselves because they know how to behave in such a situation. So if I were a mother, I would think a lot before sending my child to school, because there are a lot of advantages as well as drawbacks.
Hi! First of all, coronavirus disease is a very sensitive topic. The fact is that we don't know anything about it, even doctors are not sure about how we should react. Because of this ignorance, it's very difficult to make a decision, especially for our children. It has been said that we have to respect control measures, but how young children can respect those preventive measures ? I think it depends on the age of your children, but it also depends on your job. Reopening of schools' main goal is to relaunch the economy, as the government wants people to go back to work. But it can be dangerous for the health of persons at risk. My children may catch this virus, and contaminate persons at risk. It's also a difficult decision because due to the covid 19, I may not be able to work and we may run out of money. I don't think I'm able to make a choice. Thaïs GENOUX TS4
For me, if I had a child, whether I would let them go to school now or not would depend on several factors.
First of all, it would depend on my child's age, whether they are responsible and mature enough to respect the rules of hygiene (washing their hands regularly, wearing a mask), safety, and social distancing.
Secondly, I would act according to the class my child is in, as well as their level. Indeed, if they do well in school and if they are in a class without exams or without an important transition to the following year, I don’t think I would let them go back to school.
Thirdly, I would look at the hygiene measures taken by the school, and whether all the necessary measures would be respected.
Also, I would look at the information to find out how far the virus has spread. If the virus would have reached a little less than 5% of the population, I think I could let them go back (of course only if the previous conditions are met). Especially since Nice is located in a department where the rate of infection is less than 1%. Then, I would be reassured and I could let them resume their studies.
Finally, one of the arguments in favour of school in this situation is that I would probably have a job, perhaps with big responsibilities, and school would be a good way to stop babysitting and go back to work.
I think if I were a parent, I'd refuse to put my child back in school anytime soon. Indeed, the measures taken by the Ministry of National Education are certainly legitimate and strict but seem to me to be unsuitable for a child's education. Returning now would not make the pupil comfortable in such special conditions, and it would not be a good experience. All the more so since the home working system has proved its worth in recent weeks. Finally, sending my child back to school so early would expose him to significant health risks, and expose his family and schoolmates to the same dangers. So, I would prefer my child to stay at home longer, even if it means that I have to take care of him all the time and take care of his lessons. Thank you for reading Sacha Kuhn TS4
