The corona tests in schools have become routine.
But there are also some test refusers.
They sit at home and study there.
Freising
- An extraordinary school year, which is equally strenuous for students and teachers, is drawing to a close.
The weekly corona tests have become routine, and the teachers seem willing to vaccinate.
The exams also went off without major incidents.
There are currently only a few students who are in homeschooling - at their own request.
Not all students want to take the test procedure
At the Moosburg Middle School, the corona tests, which take place twice a week on Mondays and Thursdays, have become routine. "I have the impression that the tests have actually become part of everyday school life, although we are all happy when this very unpleasant procedure is no longer necessary at some point," reports headmistress Karin Schmidt when asked by FT. The good news: "To date we haven't had a single self-test that showed a positive Covid result."
But not all students want to undergo the procedure: Currently, parents of seven students have applied for a leave of absence "because they don't want their children to be tested," reports Schmidt.
“These pupils are cared for at home in distance lessons - some of them can, however, be tested for school assignments in the pharmacies or test centers so that they can at least be at the school on that day.
Teachers are not subject to this obligation. ”During the final exams there would have been no problems with testing and the like.
The teachers seem to be very willing to vaccinate
When it comes to the teachers' willingness to be vaccinated, Karin Schmidt is convinced that “the willingness to be vaccinated against Covid was very great from the start”.
At the Dom-Gymnasium in Freising, too, “everything worked well” and “everything calmed down”, explains headmaster Manfred Röder - “both in terms of organization and acceptance”.
For most students, morning testing twice a week is no problem.
There are only "a few" who refuse the test and are at home.
They would all be provided with documents and some of them would also be integrated into the lesson via a live link.
During the final exams, the classes had to stay at home for a few days anyway - the graduates would have had to write their exams in small groups, which is why a “high expenditure of space and personnel” had become necessary.
But the parents were informed in good time, which is why there were no (care) problems, said Röder.
And learning should be done during the holidays, voluntarily of course
Röder also sees the teaching staff on the right track: "The willingness to get vaccinated is great" - many would have already taken advantage of the offer.
And even with the (mostly older) students, there is “something in the flow” in this regard.
But now everyone is looking forward to six weeks of summer vacation - even though these will also be filled with voluntary study weeks, as Röder reports.
The aim is to prepare students with deficits in courses with few students for the new school year.
