A mother from Bavaria bursts the collar in a letter to Söder: Despite Corona easing, her children are still not in school.
Their opening still depends on the incidence.
Mühldorf am Inn - Andrea Langstein no longer wants to “silently accept the current situation in the care of our children”.
The mother of two from the Mühldorf am Inn district has enough.
She has therefore written a letter to Prime Minister Markus Söder.
It's an angry letter.
For a year now, the Corona * pandemic has been schooling for her children, two boys in the third and sixth grades, almost all of the time at home.
She is employed.
And now, after the big Corona summit * on Wednesday and the far-reaching easing that has been decided, it doesn't look like anything will change anytime soon.
Corona: Mühldorf am Inn district simply does not fall below the 100 incidence
Langstein's problem is that she and her family live in a district that simply doesn't go below the 100 incidence.
As a district close to the border, Mühldorf am Inn has been struggling with high case numbers for months.
The current incidence value is 106.
Too much to take with you the simplifications decided on Wednesday at the federal-state summit, such as face-to-face or at least alternate classes at schools.
But apparently not too much to close hairdressers again or to not even open flower shops and bookshops next Monday.
Corona lockdown with an incidence of over 100: schools closed, hairdressers open
That is exactly what stinks Andrea Langstein so much.
"It is hard to believe that I can go to the hairdresser's with my children or paint my toenails, but my two sons have not been allowed to attend compulsory schooling for months," she wrote in her open letter to Prime Minister Markus Söder.

In fact, according to the new regulations, if there are more than 100 schools there will be distance teaching or, as in the case of the Mühldorf am Inn district, stay in this system.
Nationwide, however, hairdressers, for example, were opened on March 1, hardware stores and bookshops are to follow on Monday, March 8.
There is no dependence on the 7-day incidence.
After the Corona summit: Nothing will change for some regions
"Unfortunately nothing has changed in our district," Langstein wrote to
Merkur.de * in
frustration after the decisions
.
Again she will not be able to work properly.
And further in her letter to Söder: "We parents have been juggling between home office and homeschooling for months without any perspective or reliability of childcare."
According to Langstein, the problem is that children in Germany have no lobby.
Obviously, the needs of the “future of the country” do not come first, as stated after the first Corona lockdown in 2020.
"This can hardly be borne in the long term and it is absolutely disastrous for everyone involved - children, parents and employers."
Markus Söder's press office has not yet heard whether the letter has reached the Prime Minister personally.
The Ministry of Culture cannot say on what scientific basis the incidence limits are adhered to in schools.
The Ministry of Health is responsible for this.
There is no answer here.
The Ministry of Culture announced that the letter was available and that Andrea Langstein would be answered.
Little consolation.
