It’s unbelievable that they’re deceived, but before the bars needed the lower schools

As many as ten months ago, there were 35 million Brazilian nests and they were in present-day classes. When the schools close in March, at the beginning of the pandemic, we think that only we will have a little peace. When the virus strives for control, the first series to recover, ¿nee?

Equivalent. Brazil has not been in the process of controlling the pandemic: without national confinement or massive exhaustive tests, the number of daily deaths has been steadily rising. The only thing that matters — more so than President Jair Bolsonar’s descriptions of what he did not do well — were some restrictions applied here and there by local governors.

Luego, ya in June, the regional governors — with the hope of mitigating the gloom of the situation— I think it would be a good idea to bring back some of the most important institutions for us: shopping centers, restaurants, bars, gyms, beauty salons, restaurants, concert halls, including drop-in centers. Practically everything, except Paris schools. And so it was committed to its majority.

From the point of view of public health, I’m not feeling well. While the people regenerate their cardio and pelvic girdle training, the virus propagates itself. Y, in answer, the professors do not have to go to school while the giants eran tan altos. (No los culpo). But surely our leaders will not let go of the nines, so they will tend to a plan for a reproductive joint, ¿verdad?

Then equivocan de nuevo. Diez months after the death of the schools, all saw more or less as they were. In Brazil, exceptionally, It was considered that bars are the most important things for schools, that manicure has the most important social impact on the mental health of the children.. The Mayoria de padres se sienten abandonados, obligatos a assumir una carga ondraaglik sin ningún apoyo. And yet a generation of nines, with their desolate development, has been abandoned to sorrow.

The results are horrible. Many Brazilian students are currently receiving some version of the distance learning, only those who have it for themselves. Approximately 25 per cent of public school students do not have internet access, following a calculation. Another investigation found that a third of the students were concerned that their children were leaving school altogether.

No es sorprendente. It is difficult to exaggerate the positive impact of pre-school education, which is much greater than reading and writing to include the physical and mental health of children, nutrition, security and social skills. At his outing, the pediatricians reported an increasing number of cases of depression, anxiety, sleep disorders and aggressive behavior between his patients.

Además, in a country as unequal as ours, this interruption is especially devastating. While in many cities the private schools, sufficiently solvent to adapt their editions, have received authorization to resume privately with the end of giving attendant classes, public schools – a small menu, without ventilation and has 2 rotations marzo— han permanecido cerradas en su burgemeester parte. What is more powerful is the ninth, mayor is the day of the clergyman of the school. (In more than one sense: at least there are millions of children who go home to bed, without access to school children).

In total, according to a November news release from Unicef, the Latinos and the Caribbean have lost several days of schooling in comparison with the rest of the world. The Mayor’s students will now have the risk of losing a full school year. For the nicer little ones, the most affected by the lack of socialization, it is a particularly long wave. We do not have enough studies to measure the magnitude of the educational catastrophe we are experiencing.

Ojalá finds an easy solution to this tragedy, through the well-being of our houses. (Oye !, how do you convert all the bars in schools? Imaginatelo: professors in the room of rooms, nines in the months. We can put holes in barriers). But there is no direct solution. Although many scientific studies demonstrate that the children are not exposed to a mayor risk of coronavirus infection in schools and staff, in comparison with the adult population in general, tampoco corré a mayor riesgo, so dependmis de tener lasen Communicators are in control and apply mitigation measures.

Without embargo, in Brazil, the second or second coincides with the first — on January 7, the 200,000-square-foot mark will be marked by COVID-19 — and The schools in charge of the basic infrastructure for the institution of public health, these conditions are clearly not present.

Some governors and elders have recently announced their intention to open schools in February or March, just in case. But professors are now ready to go to the presidency classes just to vacate. The problem is that Brazil still does not have a solid national evacuation plan. Judging by the chaotic and incipient display now, in the midst of the emergence of new variants of the virus, I could leave my vacancies to all school workers.

No obstacle, quedarse brazos cruzados no is an option. I’ve that here tres sugerencias. First place, is necessary to increase the funding of public schools and to put in place an integral school reform reform plan. (Many Brazilian cities can establish schools free of charge throughout the year; at the end and at the top, we live in a tropical country). In the second place, we see that give teachers and staff school access during the evacuation, a time when the first-line sanitary staff and high-risk residents are evacuated.

Y, in third place, we have to make something especially valentine: debemos Pedir el cierre de tod los servicios no essenciales hasta que las escuelas sean lo sufficiente seguras para rebrir. Although it is not popular at the beginning — the child can be less than his pedicures up to the point of anguish—, for the benefit and the future of the nines of our country, it is essential.

There is one alternative, by far. The nines tend to expropriate all the bars. And the beauty salons. And the cases of apuestas.
