“To stop the infection, we have to delay school” … Voices of concern among parents and experts.
After attending high school 3, morning to afternoon classes, etc. Last attempts on various options
As the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19), which started at the Itaewon Club in Yongsan-gu, Seoul, led to the spread of the community, the first third grade junior high class scheduled for 13 had an emergency. Initially, quarantine experts thought it would be better to go to school two weeks later due to concerns about the possibility of spreading during the golden holidays.
However, due to the urgency of preparing for college admission, the educational authorities brought the high school to school. As a result, group infections began during the vacation season, raising concern among students and parents. The Ministry of Education will announce whether high school attendance classes will be held as scheduled for the 11th.
○ Possibility of postponing attending school depending on risk
On October 10, the Ministry of Education announced that it will make a decision as soon as possible before the start of school classes regarding the change in the schedule for attending high school at the regular briefing of the Emergency Management Headquarters. (Main Company). An official from the Ministry of Education explained: “Secondary school 3 is preparing for school on the 13th, so it will be announced as soon as possible without any problem.”
“The combination of life and quarantine means not starting school in perfect condition, but taking some risks. There may be a variety of opinions, and the judgments may vary depending on epidemiological investigations. “If the number of patients at the Itaewon Club does not skyrocket, the possibility of holding school classes for high school students is also a glimpse.
The Ministry of Education is considering various scenarios. First, Middle School 3 does not offer school lunches as scheduled or meals are delayed. If it is divided into morning and afternoon classes instead of lunch, or if a suitable meal such as bread etc. should be provided, it can be adapted to each school situation. It is onerous because there is a problem with the provider’s livelihood, but to reduce contact. Some high schools are urgently conducting surveys to ask parents to “choose between lunch and lunch” over the weekend. We are also considering ways to delay the schedule of attending classes in other grades. For high school students, parents’ anxiety about postponing school attendance is high because of college assignments, but other grades are more concerned about student health. Adjusting the school period for other grades can further reduce density by minimizing the number of high school students per classroom.
○ Many academies are also native speakers.
The anxiety of high school students and parents cannot be explained. Father A said, “I thought I would be able to correct the collapsed learning pattern by going to school. It worries me even if I go to school.” “I am afraid that the gap with other schools will widen because I cannot prepare for the exam.”
Parents in grades 1 and 2 and kindergarten, scheduled for school on the 20th, are also concerned. Although care is also concerned, health is a priority as children with weak immunity. Father B said, “I’m glad that learning at home is also recognized as an off-campus learning experience, but I don’t know what to do after the recognition period.”
Parents are also concerned about the “English Kindergarten” (English schools for young children) with native speakers and parents. Kindergarten is still being postponed, but most English kindergartens have resumed classes. The same goes for the academy. Father C said: “Many native speakers live in Itaewon, or use Itaewon as their primary duty to buy and eat.
