15 minutes After communicating with the school principal, he assured that distance learning would be maintained if necessary.
Information is missing
On Monday, the parents of the Vilnius Duke Gediminas Progymnasium beginners received the application form.
Parents that as of February 22. want to allow your child to study at progymnasium by contact, please complete the form before Wednesday evening.
And along with it, also send authorizations for COVID-19 testing to the family farm and for testing later every few days.
But it is not clear to parents, “what if we disagree?”
Although the application form states that parents can choose to send their children to school on a voluntary basis, they feel anxious. It’s unclear if your kids will have the opportunity to learn remotely if they don’t fill out the application and start the live lessons.
Drop the paper, sign and be silent. If you ask questions, you will be the enemy who wants to be quarantined until May.
Parents fear having to quit their jobs and sit alone to teach their children.
“Parents are upset because normally nobody explains. And for the first time he did not explain, and now he does not explain. Drop the paper, sign and be silent. If you ask questions, it will be the enemy who wants to remain in quarantine until May. ” 15 minutes Eglė, the mother of the elementary school students (name changed, known to the editorial board), resented.
The pilot project was first announced on February 5. Parents also complained that the information was insufficientThe decision was called for to allow the children to return to school for face-to-face lessons in just a few days.

“It’s very strange then to call from the committee and say no, no, without pressure,” he continued.
The children’s mother wonders why the school administration cannot inform the parents and answer their questions. Different information is said to come from different sources.
Director: Distance education will be
After contacting the school principal, Rimantas Remeika, he assured that distance lessons would continue to be organized for children whose parents refuse to allow them to attend school for contact education.
“I don’t know if it is mixed or not (education is 15 minutes), but those children will organize remotely, ”he said.

He argued that distance learning is not that effective, so the goal is to move to contact learning as soon as possible.
“Distance education, especially for younger children, is less effective and causes a lot of problems for the children themselves. We also try to solve the social problems of families to protect education as much as possible with such tests in every way. <...> If parents are scared and don’t want to try what they will do, they will need that distance (training – 15 minutes) they continue to organize in one way or another ”, he commented.
When asked if she thought that many parents might refuse to let their children go to school, Remeika said she noted that “the emotion is more positive, but it will become clear when we collect accurate data.”
300 families should participate
As BNS wrote previously, the pilot project was approved by the government on Friday – The Municipality of Vilnius was allowed to carry out preventive examinations of the main families and employees of the Progymnasium Duke Gediminas of Vilnius for two selected weeks in February-March.
Povilas Poderskis, the director of the Vilnius city municipality administration, has previously said that about 300 families are currently scheduled to participate in the experiment.
“Around 300 households will be surveyed. Of course, the investigation is voluntary, so there may be fewer. But we will be able to do the tests starting today if the decisions are made in the Government.
What we won’t be able to do next week, but won’t have to do, is contact education. For that, the government’s resolution will have to be changed next week, ”said P. Poderskis.
