Topic: “Europe Reopens Schools”
Sources: https://learningenglish.voanews.com/a/europe-reopens-schools/5565077.html
Summary: In Paris, a mother and her three children recently went to a supermarket to look for school supplies. They bought writing instruments, notebooks and plenty of face masks. Parents and children across Europe have been making similar purchases at the start of a new school year. European officials have decided to put children back into school classrooms for the new term. Facing an increase in coronavirus cases, officials in France, Britain, Spain and other countries are making rules about masks, building new classrooms and adding teachers. European leaders from the political left, right and center are sending a similar message to students and their parents: British Prime Minister Boris Johnson called reopening schools a “moral duty.” His government even threatened to fine parents who keep children at home. And Italy’s health minister forced discos to close this month with one goal in mind: “to reopen schools in September in complete safety.”
As both a parent and a teacher, Mathieu Maillard has a lot to worry about when French schools reopen. Over the past month, the number of virus infections has increased in France. Maillard thinks it is time for students to go back. School “has to start up again at some point,” he said. “The health risk exists, but the risk of not putting children in school is even bigger.”
