Less than a month before the start of the 2012/12 school year and at the end of the big holiday, many parents are angry about the uncertainty surrounding the start of school, after the Ministry of Health reported last night (Tuesday) that it was postponing the year until The day before, according to

"If it has already closed, it is clear that it is better for it to be on holidays when there are not many school days," Chen Smet (Photo: courtesy of those photographed)
Smet also tells of her eldest son, who is in fifth grade, about whom she is particularly concerned: "Last year when they were divided into capsules, the educator distributed them randomly, not by bruises and he was really left alone. In the last year he gained a lot of weight and his circle of friends changed. "At this age they are starting to grow up and want their independence, on the other hand they are starting to isolate themselves, they are bothered by a lot of things.
"This is an age where they do not want summer camps, they do not want frames or a babysitter, there is a whole generation of children here who discover their adolescence in a lot of loneliness and it is very tough. They are a generation of screens that underestimate communication, "Emotional atoms lack social skills and are detached," Smet concludes.

Meanwhile, Education Minister Yifat Shasha Bitton, who was not present at the cabinet yesterday, was quick to issue a reassuring message: "As agreed with the Minister of Health, the school year will open as a series. 2.4 million male and female students in the country. "
However, the possibility that the school year would not open at all left the parents helpless. The self-employed are particularly worried, as their businesses could be hit again - if they have to look after the children at home instead of working in September.
Noa Winpers, a mother of two sons from Tel Aviv and owner of a digital marketing and promotion business, describes the feelings of confusion. "The uncertainty greatly affects me, even as a mother, because I do not know if my children will have frameworks and also for my clients." She explains that she will not be able to continue with the work routine if the children do not have frameworks, since her two sons still need supervision - the young man goes to pre-compulsory kindergarten, and the older one goes to primary school.

"I have a lot of meetings and calls in zoom, and nothing can be planned," Winpers adds. "A lot of employees who are parents. The employees asked, 'Will you raise a glass again in zoom? Will the children shout in the background again?'. The uncertainty really puts all the parents under stress."
Winpress adds of the economic damage: "It will also be a severe economic blow after the corona year and all the spending on August for children on the big holiday. It is not possible to constantly treat working parents as last on the list, education should be a priority."
The possibility that the school year will not open has left parents helpless.

"The Ministry of Health released an experimental balloon yesterday that says the school year should not open. It is horrible and horrible. It creates uncertainty and confusion among parents," Walla!
Merom Schiff, chairman of the national parent leadership. “If there is a closure, we will all be in a closure, including the education system.
But if there is no closure, and you want to close the children, it will not happen.
Once again do you want to teach a four-year-old child a zoom?
Do you want another child to go up to first grade in zoom? "
Schiff adds:" It is allowed to change strategy, but this is not something that should happen in the media.
Between Tuesday afternoon (Education Committee - SG) and last night (Cabinet - SG) nothing happened.
We cannot be confused.
This year will be complex anyway, so certainty must be produced.
I also do not understand what will change until the first of October. "
