Alternatively, should we succumb to a different draconian threat of the Covid-19 coronavirus and refuse that the schools should be reopened – until I am not sure when?They say “we will peak either in August, September or October this year”, whatever that means.
Unfortunately, this means the “monied” countries, the so-called developed nations, are likely to have the first bite of the cherry then eventually us the “emerging markets” will get our turn.Now here is my question, should we not reopen the schools as proposed by Motshekga with all the long list of objections by the teacher unions?
It doesn’t matter that there are various SABC channels trying to help pupils at home with catch-up tuition or not as Motshekga hinted, the strength of teaching in a primary and high school pupil is in a classroom. As has already been argued by the minister when the Grade 7s and Grade 12s arrive at a school, they are the easier to take instructions.They arrive and the whole school is available to them, which means social distancing should not be a problem.
They will receive masks, which they may or may not get while at home; they will receive meals, their daily ration of a school feeding scheme.
Rubbish, three sage members have warned against loosening the virus too early. Johnson ignored hem, this is all about politics not health.
Phala is blowing hot air, utter ignorance. So they must come from outside infected and endanger other kids who could be safely learning at home. This government failed to step up and at least focus on hotspots by enabling learners to learn from home (tablets or national TV etc.)
Couldn't agree more.
The writer is one eyed. Writer should have written one paragraph only and said schools should reopen...
This statement does not make sense, obviously the infected teacher or pupil will come from outside the school yard & because we're from different places, hotspots & those who are not, when put together, they will all be infected!!! like putting a rotten potato with fresh ones
Prevention is better than cure
