Command back: the schools and daycare centers are not opening.

The Weilheim-Schongau district office revised Friday's announcement at the weekend.

Parents are very frustrated.

District - The schools in the Weilheim-Schongau district will not open to all students on Monday, April 12th.

Nothing will be done with the face-to-face classes announced by the District Office last Friday, including compulsory tests.

From Monday, distance lessons will apply at the district schools.

The district office announced this on the weekend.

Schools and daycare centers will be closed again from Monday - due to the high incidence

The only exceptions are the fourth grades at elementary schools, the eleventh grades at grammar schools and technical colleges, and the final classes.

Classroom or alternation classes can take place for them if they have been tested and the minimum distance of one and a half meters can be maintained.

In addition, the daycare centers are not allowed to open.

They can only offer emergency care.

The district office announced the new regulations on Saturday.

The reason is that the seven-day incidence is over 100 for three consecutive days.

However, it was already foreseeable last Friday.

On that day, the district office had announced that alternating classes could take place in schools again from Monday.

The prerequisite for opening was that the students take a corona test.

Anger

Frustration?

Mother expresses criticism for changing decisions based on the incidence

Schools, teachers and children quickly adapted to this.

But one day later that was no longer the case.

Now parents have to see how they can reconcile work, home schooling and childcare in no time at all.

Tanja Kögl from Schwabbruck, for example, has no composure about the "changing, contradicting resolutions within three days".

She doesn't know what this message triggers in her: Anger?

Frustration?

Incomprehension?

Resignation?

The mother reports how she explained to her two daughters, ten and eight years old, what classroom instruction with compulsory tests means.

She watched an information film about the self-test recommended by the school with them, encouraged them and tried to take away their fear of possible exclusion at school as a result of a positive test.

Children suffer: "Can you imagine the confusion that is now in their minds?"

And now one daughter is allowed to go to school with tests because she is fourth grader, and the other daughter has to stay at home.

"Can you imagine what kind of mess there is now in their heads?", She writes to the editorial team.

Tanja Kögl also says that she is flexible in terms of time herself.

But she knows from other mothers how much stress and restlessness the decision to take distance learning brings to their families.

She also reminds of the teachers who have to adapt to decisions overnight.

"They are also slowly running out of strength and motivation is falling," says the Schwabbrucker.

Father criticizes: District Office could have foreseen development

Ralph Kennig from Weilheim does not find the procedure of the district office comprehensible.

In a letter to the editors, he criticized the fact that on Friday the decision to open the schools from Monday was made based on the RKI value from Thursday (below 100), although it was foreseeable that it would increase.

District Office spokesman Rehbehn confirmed this procedure on Sunday.

The reason he calls the regulation for the announcements.

On Monday they will discuss, so Rehbehn, how this can be handled more pragmatically in the future.

Retail: From Tuesday, “Click & Meet” applies in the district with compulsory testing

From Tuesday, April 13th, the new “Click & Meet” rule with test will apply in the Weilheim Schongau district.

The district office spokesman Hans Rehbehn confirmed this on Sunday when asked.

According to the Ministry of Health and Economic Affairs, customers of shops must book an appointment in the shop beforehand and then present a negative corona test result: either a PCR test (maximum 48 hours old), a rapid antigen test (maximum 24 hours old) or a self-test under the supervision of the shop owner.

All essential stores such as grocery stores are still open normally.

The district office wants to publish a list on its website today, Monday, which stores are affected.
