Even More Photos of Schools Reopening



OK, I admit that seeing photos of how educators the world over are wrestling with the same problem of how to school children and youth in the wake of a pandemic–is, in a word, addictive for me. So here are more photos from Germany, Netherlands, and Japan of schools that just re-opened.
With a virus about which much remains to be figured out and with no treatment or vaccine, how to care for health and safety of children and adults is primary. So questions need to be answered now as governments open their schoolhouse doors.
1. How many students to be allowed in a classroom at any one time?
2. How will students and teachers daily be protected by washing hands and disinfecting surfaces?
3. How to maintain physical distance during the school day?
4. Feeding students?
I could go on but will stop here. Readers can easily supply more questions.
So here are the photos:
