I'm quite sure that most will stick with July 1 as the schools would have obviously been working around that date. Pity these idiots didn't give that date from the beginning when it was obvious to most that July 1 was way too conservative. Same old sh!t.

Too short notice and still a lot unclear.

 

1 meter distancing between students and 5 meters between studnets and teacher? 

How about schooltransport, where the students are cramped into small vans? Maybe less studnets now, but who is going to pay for that?

?120 students?? 

 

There are about 550 students at the private school I currently teach at.  Before that I taught at a government school with 3,500 students!  How will they choose the lucky 120?

I know some schools will hold Saturday classes.   1/2 the students will go Mon., Wed., Friday and others Tues., Thurs. and Sat.   I believe it has been approved by the Ministry.

 

[Bender Rodriguez]

maybe only the SMART classes students?

whats the difference between private and tuition schools? 

[garygooner]

Tuition schools are cram schools for further studying usually in the evenings.

Well since it has been proven that young people aren't as affected by the corona virus. They don't catch the virus as easily as older people and when they do their immune system kills off the virus and they develop immunity to it. And those infected with the virus but showing no symptoms do not transmit the virus, what's the big deal? Are Thai officials just too stupid that they can not accept those FACTS?

They are not facts.

 

those kids go home and can indeed pass it on to elders. More, the teachers can get it and pass it on. Yes kids have died from it.

 

i guess you are ok hoping your kid is lucky.

Asymptomatic and pre-symptomatic people are infectious.   The two days preceding the onset of symptoms a person is contagious and capable of spreading the virus.   Also, as the previous poster mentioned, once children catch the virus they are infectious.   Teachers are, of course, at risk of getting much more ill than most students.
