Reopening of schools, we leave but not in attendance

We go back to school. But not in presence. After the recovery following the holidays, the new monitoring on infections was awaited and the regions decided. No face-to-face lessons for high school. From Monday he resumes but again in Dad, the digital teaching that many students are starting to contest. Because there are too many months in which the lessons are done at home behind the PC. And in some regions even the little ones will be in Dad. But for the moment this seems to be the only solution. Because the fear is always that of a new increase in infections, of an excessive presence of students on the means of transport, of an unsustainable overcrowding. But let's see how the individual regions are organizing for the reopening of schools.

Reopening of schools, the regions on the front of the no

The only ones to open on 11 January will be Valle d'Aosta, Abruzzo, Tuscany, Autonomous Province of Trento and Bolzano, but at 75 percent. The sound of the bell has been postponed to January 18 Molise, Apulia, Lazio, Liguria, Piedmont. Finally on January 25 for Campania, Umbria, Emilia Romagna, Lombardy. In Dad throughout January Sicily, Sardinia, Calabria, Marche, Veneto, Friuli Venezia Giulia, Basilicata which should return in February. This is the picture, for the moment, even if the situation is constantly evolving.

Only some regions in favor of the reopening of schools

The decisions taken by the various governors therefore depend on data collected provided on infections. But the protest front is growing. Many students and even the unions are ready to take to the streets on Monday. They will ask for certainties on the reopening. They protest both for not returning to class, but also because they are worried about safety and the new rules to be respected. The Network of Middle Students disputes "the blame game between the ministry and the Regions that has been going on for months now ”. And they announce protests.

The proposal of the Order of Doctors

In recent weeks, the Order of Doctors had also launched a proposal pending the reopening of schools. They had asked to establish a red zone in order to reduce the presence of people in the cities, and to ensure that only students could use transport. The reopening of schools, according to the Medical Association, would be a risk without one red zone. Because transport would be used by everyone and infections could increase.

"If we do the red zone we can send the kids to school - the president of the National Federation of the Orders of Doctors and Dentists Filippo Anelli told Adnkronos Salute -. If really everyone is staying at home, thus reducing the pressure on transport, and if the kids cannot congregate outside, guardianship systems developed within schools can work. Otherwise we have seen that the system did not work, and that opening schools leads to an increase in the spread of the virus ". "To get the kids to go to school - reiterates - it takes a true red zone. Only in this way can dedicated transport to school be organized, without major risks ", he concludes.

Not only doctors, the doubts of the scientific world

But many still have doubts about the reopening of schools. For the mathematician of the CNR, Giovanni Sebastiani various scientific studies "show that high school students contribute significantly to the spread of the virus ”. "Reason and prudence - adds - they suggest starting again with high schools in the second half of January, once verified that the effects of the measures of the Christmas holidays-beginning of the year-Epiphany period ".
