The Christmas holidays are now starting earlier than expected.

Parents in the Würmtal see it ambiguously.

Würmtal

- The schoolchildren are cheering, the Christmas holidays start earlier this year than usual. The parents in the Würmtal cannot be completely happy about it.

Stefan Welker has children in the second and third grades of the Lochham elementary school and sees the extension of the holidays as positive.

This makes it easier for families to have a Christmas party together.

"Grandparents don't have to be alone on this day."

Anette Lippert, chairwoman of the parents' council of the Kurt-Huber-Gymnasium in Graefelfing, conducted a quick survey of parents yesterday and came to the conclusion: “Most parents see it as a rather positive thing to enable a Christmas party in the family.

We don't seem to have any support problems. "

Annegret Abele, mother of two children in the seventh and tenth grades of the Planegger Feodor-Lynen-Gymnasium, also says that she personally finds the extension of the vacation in order and justifiable.

“I also see this as a relief for the children.” As the chairwoman of the parents' council, however, she knows that the extension will be different.

She says, "two days are not an issue, if there are five, there could be more resistance".

There are already critical voices.

Nilüfer Sagdilek, mother of two sons at the elementary and middle school in Lochham, has two objections: “On the one hand, the children are already struggling with the material, and every day of class is important in this regard.” The days before Christmas would be in the She says.

"On the other hand, the parents do not have unlimited vacation days and must now see how they can organize it."

Karin Taschner has two children in the sixth and fourth grade of the same school and is split.

"Of course it is better for the infection and Christmas in the family, but the curricula are not adapted to the situation." No matter how many lessons are canceled, the children are required to know the material.

Manuela Czogalla also suggests adapting the curriculum.

She has two children who are in the second and sixth grades at Lochham School and says: “I see no point in extending the holidays to reduce the number of new infections.

You should also take into account that most parents have already used up their vacation during the lockdown. "

Andreas Staszewski, chairman of the parents' council of the Neuried elementary school, says that the majority of parents at his school deal well with corona-related restrictions.

"But there are people who say that it will end at some point."
