For most of the past school-year in Berlin (the city), it's been a home-school deal....meaning the parents got stuck with the kids, and most of the lessons were via a laptop/computer.
Peeved-off nature of parents? Well....this past week, it reached the level where lawyers are involved and the parents want to force the teachers to come back into the classrooms with the kids.
Seriously, at this point....next week being the first of June?
This Berlin imitative is getting plenty of chatter around the internet, and RBB (public TV in Berlin) talked about the subject.
I watched two news pieces this week where Berlin parents talked about the school-year, and they regarded as marginally successful. No one is really sure if their kids progressed, or just studied enough to be where they were a full year ago.
The Constitutional Court? Well....I'm guessing they are gazing at the calendar and just shaking their head. The school year would end on 24 June (restarting on 6 August). It makes no sense to shuffle in some review and force some face-to-face deal with the teachers/students.
Will the school system go face-to-face on 6 August? Probably. Will a new wave of Covid-19 arrive by October and force home-study once again? If I were a betting person....I'd give it 75-percent odds. Even if you vaccinated every single kid, and every single teacher (would be miracle results).....there's no guarantee of 'safety'.
