'I won't go': Cheers and tears as Europe's kids go back to school

Pupils toted their backpacks for the first time since March in France and the Netherlands as primary schools partially reopened, with strict measures in place to prevent a second wave of the pandemic.

"It's good for them. We've been through a unique period... they liked the free time but of course they missed their friends a lot, and the structure that schools give them," added the Dutch healthcare worker, who asked that her surname not be used.To prevent any resurgence of the virus, Dutch schools were allowing only half the normal number of children in at one time, with children either attending morning or afternoon sessions, or coming in on alternate days.

In Greece, where only students in the final year of secondary school are returning on Monday, there were similar worries. At the Ninth Athens high school in the heart of the Greek capital few students were wearing masks. Small groups of students appeared happy to see each other again after the break.

However the move sparked a heated debate as the responsibility was put on parents, while many warned that it would be impossible for children and teachers to follow social distancing regulations.

And you can't make me!

What kid ever wants to go to school. Sounds like a bunch of stunned liberals raising kids thinking a 5 year old “has valid life advice that they can learn from” 🙄. When the kid has a job and pays bills then they can bit*h.

How long until someone robs a bank with a mask on
