This is for the parents kicking strongly against tge reopening of schools. what exactly is their point? Is it to prevent the children from being exposed to the dreaded pandemic? Now, other sectors have been opened and fully operational (even though not round the week) but mind you, this same parents kicking against the reopening of schools expose themselves to crowded markets, offices (especially bank ATM points) and still come back home to the same wards they are trying to protect. What sense is there in all that. It only takes one exposed person to infect thousands of contacts if we are to go by the epileptic policy (of opening some sectors and not reopening some) and if this disease is still really that "widespread" according to popular beliefs. Take the case of a father who infected his entire family some months ago. Did the children go to any school?

Please let the educational sector also be reopened. Covid 19 has reduced to the bearest minimum and with the right precautionary measures in place, (like in 2014 Ebola crises) there won't be any rebound of the pandemic.

The teachers are the worst hit of this lockdown with no form of support or relief from the govt. If we all decide tomorrow to change career and quit teaching for good, then will people understand our importance and the need to always put us into consideration first before any other profession/als. Because we have been relegated to the shadows so much that some can no longer hold their heads high and proudly say they "i am a Teacher". I am a teacher and a proud one at that.

Without " Us" many of our parents won't attain the level of education they did today.
Without "Us" the parents and society at large will not be able to travel to the abroad independently and be able to get good jobs or even put in for further studies abroad.
They won't be here expressing their thoughts and feelings in black and white.


We are the medium to civilization. Without us, the world's future will be bleak and Ignorance will be the order of the day.
Caveman loading... Marginalization of this countrys citizens by the white man imminent.

Keep underrating the teachers. A time is coming.... Nuf said.

Unfortunately, you cannot compare offices or banks to schools, because adults can comply with physical distancing rules. It is only the people that do not value their lives or know the implications that mingle in crowded markets or public places. That is why online sales of of everything including foodstuff is booming now.

How can you prevent children-to-children or children-to-teachers contact in a nursery/primary school? How will you take care of an infected child in an isolation ward without parents?

I do not think the argument of teachers being affected most is right because entertainment industry is worse off. Most private schools are organisizing online classes , and parents are paying for it. So how are parents selfish? I think that is what you should advise your school owner to do, if they are not doing so already. Also, how many companies can operate at even half capacity with the current curfews and economic condition? Hence whether we like it or not, there is going to be reduced income and economic hardship for most people - parents and teachers alike.

Even if you open schools today, attendance will be very low, and teachers will still be laid off. It is only schools for children who are old enough to fully observe social distancing rules that can be opened, but it is not safe for nursery/primary schools for now.

Moreover, nobody has a right to criticize parents for protecting their children as it is their duty to do so. Government can go ahead and open the schools, but teachers will still not earn any income if students don't turn up.

Saintinoo:

Well said, i still don't understand why we should open markets, offices, banks, worship centres and close schools.

I don't just get it.

Saintinoo:

The point is this, after the day's work, you go back home and meet your kids.
What if you are infected, are they not at risk also?

dalass:
I don't know if kids are not mixing freely with everyone already. Some parents who are kicking against reopening schools are probably government teachers whose salaries continue to roll in even when they are not in school.

They don't understand all the economic activities of mullions grounded e.g transporters, food and drink sellers, stationery sellers, snack sellers, private school teachers and many non teaching staff of private schools, market people selling other necessities, even tailors to mention but a few

Eulalia:


Exactly.
As long as they are comfortable and the salaries keep rolling in, every other person can rot in the lockdown.

My take still stands. Schools must be reopened.

dalass:


Correct... From primary all the way to tertiary schools...
