Wandering Star
The Living Force
Greetings and my utmost respect for you.I was listening today a video call from my 4th grade son with his class and his teacher.
The last topic was back to school new rules.
[...me taking a deep breath...]
****
School starts most probably on Thursday, because they still have organisation stuff to do.
They will divide the class in 3 groups, so each group cca. 8 Kids.
Kids have to write until Sunday, 2 friends with whom they want to be in the group. How nice of them....
Now comes the "new normal" stuff:
Each group will have a different teacher assigned and a different meeting point somewhere in/around the school.
The kids will come to that designated place and keep safe distance of 1,5m from each other.
It would be good that kids bring 1,5m stick (!!!) to school until they get a feeling how far they should be from each other.
Then the teacher will say when is the time to go to classes, walking of course on safe distance.
As kid enters the classroom, he has to wash his hands and clean his desk.
The masks are not like mandatory but they should have them. They should have them in clean boxes and keep them with them.
During learning time they won´t wear the mask, so they can easily breathe, but they should have them with them all the time.

I mean.... I don´t know what to say....
I don´t know what to do....
I don´t want that my son grows up like that.
My partner and I were talking now to ask the teacher if my kid can be home-schooled, with reasons:
- I´m sooooo scared of the corona
- here in NRW is most cases of corona in whole Germany
- my kid has history of lung issues and allergies
- in school are too many adults with whom he would get in contact and I´m afraid for his wealth-being
I´m prepared to lie my ass out for a greater purpose.... And hope I´m doing the right thing....
This 4th grade is anyway only on paper because it´s actually 3rd grade notes that counts here in Germany for going to secondary school.
So, here you go, with brave new world....
You are at a crossroads and you are not sure which one to choose.
Sometimes we have to wait ... What causes us anguish suddenly stops causing it, due to the appearance of an unexpected solution.
Other times, what seemed very bad and meaningless, when it begins to "develop" it does so in a different and unexpected way, a result of people being creative.
My stance is always not to force. See the situation first and then "react".
Do not anticipate.
I must not tell you what you can or cannot do. Everything is lessons and each of us has our own.
Will that lesson be necessary?
Will I learn something?
Will someone learn something?
I wish you the best for you and your child. May wisdom surround you and help you.
A tender greeting.
