It could hardly be formulated more appropriately than the headmistress from the Rhein-Main area.
“Another strange school year is behind us,” she writes to the parents.
Many summer vacation letters from school principals in Hesse and Rhineland-Palatinate, where Friday was also the last day of school, are likely to read similarly.
The school communities have experienced, suffered and achieved a lot.

The corona numbers soared in the autumn, and the second lockdown soon came.
And when spring 2021 came, hundreds of thousands of Hessian young people were still not allowed to go back to school.
In the meantime, the others got used to testing and wore their masks without complaint during school hours.
In the weeks leading up to the holidays everything got back to normal, and children and adults are now anxiously hoping that this will continue after the holidays.
In order for this to work, the 1800 Hessian schools are once again obliged to wear a mask in class, and tests are carried out three times a week.
Now many feel ready for a vacation.
Some families went on a trip on Friday or went to the pizzeria in the evening.
To celebrate the testimony or just that this strange school year is over.
