What to do with her children for two weeks? This is the puzzle faced by the parents of the 282,000 students in Haut-Rhin, one of the two departments most affected by the coronavirus with the Oise, and who will not be able to resume school on Monday. And for good reason, all the establishments will be closed temporarily, to the grand dame of the parents who will have to find them an occupation and a solution so as not to work during all this time.

In Mulhouse, the problem has arisen for Fatia since she learned the news on Friday evening. This weekend, this mother will have to work later than usual so as not to go to the office all next week. "The people I know next door all have children, so it is blocked. Here it is the weekend, we were able to juggle a little, but here we stay at home. We do not have much choice" , she sighs. Although she is "anti-console games", she still agreed that her elder goes out to go get one, because "14 days confined it will be horrible", she deplores.
No information on correspondence courses
Faced with this case of force majeure, the parents improvise. Fanny, graphic designer, continues to work from her home, but she will have to make time for her two children: "We will pretend that it is a bit of a vacation for them but while trying to continue working . The idea is that we still go out a bit at times too. That they may go to the park with friends. If they are completely locked up all day, it will be difficult, "says she.
"Horrible", "difficult" and "we are not helped", the two mothers say above all that they have not yet had any information on possible correspondence courses for their children. It would be yet another occupation in a hastily established program.
