Even American politicians who overcome strong blockades now know the importance of opening schools. The issue is at the center of the debate Corona, unlike Austria.
It happened as feared: In light of the growing number of infections, hospitalizations and deaths, California Governor Gavin Newsom again promised a tough shutdown Friday night. As soon as the intensive care beds were 85 percent occupied, the shutdown would begin. Most of the shops, restaurants and sports facilities will probably close again on weekends. You should only leave your own four walls for essential activities.
But, and now comes, there is a major exception: schools that have resumed operations since the last closure will remain open. In fact, even far-left Democrats like Newsom, who by no means shy away from drastic measures, have recognized that open schools should be a priority.
Also in New York City, Bill de Blasio recently backed down. The mayor was again harshly criticized for the closure of his school. The parents’ representatives launched a storm against De Blasio, arguing that the harm to the children was too great. Starting next week, schools in America’s largest city will at least partially reopen.
School vacancies are the number one topic at every crown closing press conference in the U.S. Perhaps it is because, after the months of closure in New York City, more and more psychologists are pointing to the dramatic consequences in the development of children and adolescents. The American Association of Pediatricians has been pushing for schools to open since June. No politician can avoid the problem.
And in Austria? You care about skiers.
