Students in Denmark were some of the first in the world to head back to school after COVID-19 lockdowns. Countries around the world, including Canada, have looked at the Danish model in designing their own school plans.
That is so crazy! I wish we could get to that point in the US, but it feels so unlikely that we will anytime soon. It will be interesting to see what happens as time goes on and if Denmark's cases start to go back up.

Testing for the Coronavirus is not for all students, says the CDC. It "should focus on those with symptoms of the virus and those who may have had exposure to infected individuals." The CDC says testing plans should coincide after consultation with local health professionals. There is no data to support "additional reduction in person-to-person transmission of the virus beyond what would be expected with the implementation of other infection preventive measures," such as face masks and hand washing.

The consequences of the pandemic should provide an opportunity for school and community leaders to rethink their loyalty to exam-focused learning and consider innovating their programmes to put students at the centre.
"He called this finding “the butterfly effect.” In a complex model, where each day’s weather influences the next day’s, a tweak in initial conditions can have wild downstream consequences. The butterfly effect became central to the emerging field of chaos theory, which has since been applied to economics, sociology, and many other subjects, in attempts to deconstruct complex phenomena. That field is now helping predict the future of the pandemic—in particular, how it ends.
Chaos theory applies neatly to the spread of the coronavirus, in that seemingly tiny decisions or differences in reaction speed can have inordinate consequences. Effects can seem random when, in fact, they trace to discrete decisions made long prior."
In light of recent events, I thought that is very important to speak about this matter. Schools have been closed since end of March. As the new school year is around the corner, many are worried about how, when and if students should return to school. This article goes into great detail about the statistics of Covid-19 related to children. This article stresses on the fact that children are exposed to the virus but don't spread the virus at the same effect adults do. I believe that students should not go to school. The reopening of the country has caused a new outbreak of the virus just as the curve was flattening. What are your thoughts about schools reopening?
