Below is a video showing a school in the UK and how they plan to handle those children that will be attending school (because it seems that not all will) as the lockdown is 'eased' into the 'new normal'. It's similar to the photos of the children in the playground confined to the circles on the ground.
Overview of what the teacher says: Children are situated the required 'social distance' away from each other (meaning they have a classroom of about 6 children?); must walk along a designated line to travel around the classroom; no soft furnishings and all equipment to be sterilized after use; teachers must maintain social distancing towards children.
One can imagine that this as part of the new normal is the dream of some of the mentally deranged in power. But even just thinking about it practically, economically, there's no way that under the current circumstances schools have the resources to implement this, however the more insidious agenda is that the public would accept this as a reasonable response, and a possible 'new normal'.
A few others have mentioned how these smaller classes cannot work due to the lack of schools, classrooms in schools and trained teachers.
There is clearly no way the current education system in the UK can work with classes of 6-15 children. Will these measures not actually come to pass, or be removed quickly? I am not convinced.
Looking to the US, Cuomo has made a number of statements addressing the future of education there and I can only imagine that these ideas will be looked at across the western world.
Obviously he has been promoting these ideas under the banner of more equality and better standards in education, but it appears to me that there could be a push towards part on line education and part class room – possibly having different children in schools on different days or some other method.
The first 3mins or so of this BBC video is an interview with a primary school teacher in the UK, showing just how impractical measures will be in many schools. It also shows that there is still fear from teachers and parents over Covid1984.
The teacher also talks about the sanitisation of the classrooms. Obviously there is the social distancing aspect, but also now the disinfecting of rooms once kids have been in there, the removal of soft surfaces and toys. If all this came to pass, our schools will look like something out of any number of dystopian movies...
Thinking of all the natural immunities we pick up as children, playing together, getting dirty and yes, getting ill on occasion – all strengthening our immune systems. What would schooling in these sterile environments do to a generation of people?
I am not sure how much of this can really happen, though no doubt some will. There are so many aspects to schooling that cannot work in this system: cooking, sports, drama, textiles, even books are 'soft' (and not everyone can have their own copy of every book required), meetings with teachers, parent/teacher meetings... the list goes on... It is, quite simply, not possible to not go near other people and actually function in society at all when we think about it.
Thinking positively (maybe wishfully...) a lot of these measures would start to go away over months/years as it becomes more obvious that education and childrens' health is suffering. Thinking more negatively (or realistically...) this is probably why there is such a drive for vaccines, to get us 'back to normal' quickly before the population realises just what levels of damage have been done and the true social impact rather than the economic.
My suspicion is that we will move toward more computer and on-line based learning (as it seems we have been for many years). In some countries this may involve part-time classroom schooling with on-line learning from home. I would imagine a lot of the anti-social distancing would die down as the hysteria does, but this may well be after a vaccine is introduced and used in schools for a few years.
I wonder who could benefit from such an outcome? Providers of on-line education programs, drugs, vaccines, social tracking... Nope can't think of anyone...
