Back to school for 160 thousand students, but it’s chaos in the masks

Countdown to 160 thousand students from Brescia elementary, middle and high schools. After three months of vacation, but mostly spent a second semester between blocking and online lessons, tomorrow the doors of the school will open again. Not for everyone as distance learning will not go to the attic. In fact, in some high schools it will stay at 50%: half of the students in class, half in lessons from home, in rotation.

An appointment prepared with a bit of haste by directors and mayors, between photofinishing work to adapt the spaces, teachers who are not and masks have not arrived yet (at least to an adequate extent) to all institutions. The doubts of school principals and parents focus especially on this last aspect. The use of a mask is mandatory in common areas. Students may remove it only sitting in the classroom, if the distance meter is guaranteed. Will the devices from the Ministry be enough? Will they be provided to all students every day? Uncertainty is leading many schools to suggest that children bring a mask from home.
