In a megalopolis like New York, the City Hall is clear: the most effective way to deal with the pandemic is to give classes in the open air as far as possible and as provided for in the municipal plan. The plan, which affects both public and private schools in the city, continues to collect requests from the centres. In case of need, the City Hall approves the closure of the streets of the school center for their education. The priority is the neighborhoods that have suffered the most pandemics.
Tents and cushions
Tents to protect themselves from the sun and rain or cushions to sit on the ground are preparing a very special course start in the U.S. capital. The first school day, moreover, has been postponed until 21 September in order to prepare everything in the most appropriate way. In the Brooklyn neighborhood, however, an essay has already been conducted showing the photo posted by NY Daily News.
“To know that something works, you have to test it and to be able to use the streets and parks for education is a unique opportunity, both pedagogical and to face the pandemic with greater security,” explains one of the teachers who participated in the essay.
In fact, we are told that in many parts of the world they are preparing to give outdoor classes, and in Euskal Herria, more and more people are betting on it.
