- Schools reopen with a "mandatory presence" on June 22.
- We asked our readers how their families experienced this recovery.
- Overall, you are more anxious than relieved
"Presence of students compulsory in class from June 22. These words, spoken by Emmanuel Macron during his address on Sunday, resonated in the heads of all parents across France. After weeks of home schooling and a drop in since May 11, it's time to head back to school. A recovery for two weeks, with a reduced physical distancing despite a coronavirus still present.
Monday, we asked you if this return to school calms you, if it was a relief for you. The least we can say is that this premise was ultimately light years away from your feelings. Between anger, anxiety and misunderstanding, this announcement was a real blow for many parents, and for many students.
"Misunderstanding, anger"
"This sudden compulsory resumption of school, I did not expect it at all! I had finally found a balance with my child for several weeks, ”explains Isabelle. “All of these efforts are being swept aside by a compulsory takeover which seems to me to be very hasty. And all this for 15 days of school! A CP child who has finally found her bearings at school at home will have to find other markers in her class with all the new health rules imposed, ”she analyzes.
Annoyances shared by Julie, mother of two children, aged 4 and 7: “From misunderstanding, from anger, these are the feelings that are currently mixed in my head. I give myself thoroughly every day for teaching, cleaning, cooking and the rest. Today I am told that my children are forced to go to school next week? My children are as unhappy as I am, they are afraid, know that the virus is still present. I am outraged by this obligation. I especially hope that we will be allowed to keep our children at home if we wish. "Rémy, him, will do without any authorization and will not put his children in class until September:" I will not play the lives of my daughters and those of people in contact with them for two weeks of "daycare" ". Among your testimonies, many have made the same choice, whatever happens.
"My son started to cry! "
For children, this return to school can be a source of apprehension, but also of fear. "My 9-year-old daughter had an anxiety attack with stomach aches when I told her that parents had an obligation to put their children back in school," says Laurence. Isabelle's son, too, is very worried: “My son is 10 years old and had a very bad experience with the Covid-19… Being already very afraid of death, this did not help anything, it even got worse. I don't know what to do, put it back in school or not? He takes it very badly. "Aged 14, Virginie's son couldn't believe it:" When the announcement of compulsory takeover made by President [Emmanuel Macron], he started to cry! He is not at all in agreement, nor impatient to return there, on the contrary! He even thought it was "fake news"! "
A measured relief, for some
If, on the whole, among our readers, the return to school worries more than it relieves. For some families, this recovery is still good news. "This announcement was like a breath of fresh air, my son is happy," says Carine. But I remain on the reserve of a bad surprise. I took two months of schooling for my 5 year old son. He no longer has the motivation and becomes insolent and disobedient. There is a lack of an external framework for the home! "This supervision of children which she shares with us, other parents have realized how precious it was:" We certainly do not consider school as a daycare but are aware of all the benefits it provides in development of a child (and especially of the patience of the teaching staff). Our daughter would be delighted to go back to school because she understands that we are not the ideal teachers, ”admits Armance.
Our file on the coronavirus
Ultimately, it is the schoolchildren who will be confronted with these new arrangements and Julie, mother of three, does not fail to emphasize: “All this organization is a real stress and no anticipation is possible. By asking, ultimately, our children to adapt to all these changes. Bravo to them, they deserve to be applauded. "
