Rotation may work in prime ministerial agreements, but it is not suitable for children who have just entered the education system • Interpretation
Tens of thousands of parents grabbed their heads tonight (Sunday) at 9:30 p.m.
The cabinet decided: their children will learn in rotation.
Those little ones who are already sleeping in beds who have only gone up to first grade this year or have just started learning the multiplication table - will return to schools only three days a week.
But they have not come to understand that rotation may work well in prime ministerial agreements, but it may not suit children who have just entered the education system.

The Ministry of Health insisted and did not give up, the Ministry of Finance did not release the money and the Ministry of Education said: "We will do whatever it takes to open the educational institutions in an outline approved by the Ministry of Health and budgeted by the Ministry of Finance" and then disappeared.
The decision makers made a detached decision yesterday, it has no logic, it has a lot of mental fixation.
And here's an idea, switch between third and fourth grades, to first and second grades.
The capsules in third and fourth grades have been budgeted since the beginning of the year, teachers and education assistants have been recruited and the program is working.
With all the pain (and there is a lot of that) someone had to get up and suggest - do a "scream", transfer the budgets, teachers, resources to first and second grades so that they learn a full learning week in capsules.
The rule in the education system is simple - first of all take care of the youngest, youngest, softest students.
This is what we did with the kindergarten students, this is what needs to be done with the first and second students.
There is no point in teaching the third-fourth grades as if everything is normal and leaving about 350,000 first-second students at home.
The Ministry of Education said yesterday that professional sources who investigated the matter claim that it is impossible that the mix of teachers in grades 1-2 is another mix that is difficult to find as a substitute for capsules, that the number of students in these two layers is greater than the number of students in grades 3-4. You will need to recruit more manpower.
For many parents, those who range from hope to despair, who see their children languishing academically and socially is nothing more than "the dog ate my notebook."
The current situation creates an absurdity.
Take for example a family where a child is in first grade and a child is in fourth grade.
If until this week they could stay home alone - even for a few hours, in such a way that the older child takes care of his little brother.
Next week the older brother will go to school every morning and his little brother will stay home for at least half a week.
What is the result?
Disabling their parents from going to work so that even if we wanted to - the economy would not be able to recover.
Both the education system and the government need to sign a "new new contract" with the parents, come and tell them, we will invest the money, we will change the education system fundamentally, we will build your children, because they are the future generation of this country.
