Pedro Nunes High School, Maria Amália High School and the Spanish Institute of Lisbon. There are three cases, in the capital of the country, where the return to school has resulted in daily crowds, sometimes by parents, sometimes by students, at the door of educational establishments or in the surroundings. I’m already on it Secondary father António Vieira, In Alvalade, the first day of school was also marked this Thursday by gatherings outside the school, according to the team of reporters of Radio Observador, although the guardians hope that the situation will not be repeated.

Returning to school at Padre António Vieira High School, it was not possible to avoid the meetings
“It has been chaos every day, but this Thursday with the rain, the confusion was even worse,” a father with three children who studies at the Observer told the Observer. Giner de los Rios institute, Dafundo’s Spanish school, and that he has been photographing the landscape there every day.
In the few schools where the school year has already begun (eg: Spanish Instance), the expected happened. It is impossible to respect the rules of social distance, with large groups of parents and students in the small entrance spaces.

The problem, in the opinion of this parent who requests anonymity, is that the school chose create different times for the entry of the different classes, forcing anyone with more than one child to stand on the sidewalk waiting for everyone to enter. “For those who have only one child, there is no problem,” she says, remembering that in her case there are three minors who have to go to school.
The confusion outside of school is much worse than last year. My kids come in in 10 minutes, which means that I (like many others) spend half an hour walking with the kids by my side. And I’m lucky that, at least, everyone walks through the same door, ”he says.
For avoid clusters at the entrance of the Spanish institute, the international school has chosen to have different student drop-off zones. The problem with this solution, says the same father, is that there are families that have children who enter through different doors at the same time or, as is the case, widely spaced entrances. Instead of arriving, leaving all three and moving on, I hope. Instead of two minutes, it’s 30 “.
Children only enter school when the adult in charge of this group of students, usually a teacher, comes to pick them up.
On Thursday morning, in Rua Direita do Dafundo, near the Spanish Institute, the agglomeration of students and parents was already visible
In the Estrela area, also in Lisbon, a similar situation has been experienced at the door of Pedro Nunes Institute, but with a difference. There are no delays in entry times and one of the mothers, mentioned by the Lusa agency, asks this school for the solution that will have created problems in the Spanish institute.
“If instead of everyone being here at 8:15 a.m., some would enter at 8:00 a.m., others at 8:30 a.m. and others at 9:00 a.m., there would be no such concentration,” he said, asking anonymity. The approximately 1,200 high school students have only two separate entry times, separated by 15 minutes: 8:15 am and 8:30 am. One of the main problems, parents say, was created by the entrance, which was too narrow to accommodate so many students; Despite being double, only one of the doors was open.

According to the news agency, at the time of entry more than a thousand students were crowding outside the school. “I did not let him come by public transport because of the risk of contamination, and then everyone is here on the ground. It’s a shame, ”criticized another mother. The parents’ discontent is compounded by the fact that the school has more entrances: the main door of the building, an access similar to the one used and an entrance that gives access to the parking lot.
Faced with criticism, Rosário Andorinha, director of the school, assumes the error and guaranteed that on Friday there will be a new entry to work. Using the side door says it is out of the question as it is used by cars. But she left a message for parents and students: Following the rules outside of school is not your responsibility.

A kilometer and a half, closer to the city center, Fátima Lopes, director of the Maria Amália Vaz de Carvalho school, uses the same argument. “The extracurricular part that we cannot control. Inside the school, the students are impeccable ”, He argues, in statements to SIC Notícias, highlighting that students gather outside of high school.
Within the educational establishment, Fátima Lopes guarantees, the contingency plan is being fulfilled, which respects all the indications of the General Health Directorate.
