The children huddled together like sardines, just a few students and teachers in masks and no one to wash their hands. This is how a teacher in Britain describes the first week of school, according to The Guardian.
Protective masks are optional and teachers and students must purchase them themselves if they want to use them. The guidelines, on the other hand, demand respect for physical distance. There is no such thing, concludes the professor.
Tuesday: We are not talking about the virus.
„Today is the day of the presentation, usually an opportunity to bring all the teachers together. This year, due to COVID, we are scattered in small and socially distant groups. Even the instructions are aum to speak “with a distant social colleague.” However, I have great doubts that social distance works ”, writes the teacher.
„I notice the absence of masks. I chose to wear a mask, but I’m ashamed because I’m one of the few who wears it, so it ends up in a plastic bag in my pants pocket, ”she continues.
„I expected the day to be dominated by discussions about COVID-19, but It’s not like that. The questions seem float in the air with no response, like a bad smell. The truth is that we won’t know how stay things up the students don’t come either, ”says the teacher.
Wednesday: a shocking lack of distance
Wednesday was the first day students entered the school, but only freshmen.
„The children arrive in the hallway without having their temperature measured. They are soon huddled together like sardines, ready to hear the director’s speech. I mentally begin to play “Find the mask”, but I give up because there are so few, “writes the teacher.
„Throughout the day, adults without masks walk in groups of children without masks around the school, without keeping their distance, ”he adds.
Thursday: “Those who wear a mask will feel bad”
Thursday is the day the teacher takes her children to another school, where she sees that the rules are strictly followed.
„I heard a parent wearing a mask ask a teacher about the rules, and the answer scared me: “I doubt that many will wear a mask tomorrow, and those who wear it probably feel bad.” We should learn to be good citizens during a pandemic, but I don’t see any students cleaning their desks or washing their hands in the many sinks set up in the hallways. The vigilance that we have all been told to maintain seems to have disappeared. And in the absence of surveillance, it won’t be long before “covid” they want to organize an illegal party on our sports field, ”writes the teacher.
Friday: “People died. That was sad. That’s it.”
„The line of students of the last two days became a torrent that arrived anxiously at the gates of the school. I feel nervous when the sound of students approaching the building reaches a crescendo, ”writes the teacher.
Students do not want to talk about the coronavirus: “a became the 2020 Brexit“Writes the teacher, who nevertheless addressed the subject in class.
„A student he told me he couldn’t finish a topic, for He worked in a hospital during the summer. “How was it?”, the I am asking. “Yes, You know people died. That was sad. That’s“”, Writes the teacher.
