Parents' war on child isolation: "They have been under house arrest for two years, harming mental resilience"

In the background of the isolation outline, according to which even unverified children should stay at home, many parents have found themselves having difficulty coping with the situation, and are demanding changes to the guidelines.

"The green classroom outline must return to kindergartens and children, all children, must be allowed to return to kindergarten subject to tests."

Many parents criticize the isolation outline, according to which children who are not vaccinated against the corona virus should stay at home in isolation.

This morning it was updated that out of about 196,864 students and education staff who are in isolation, about half of them are not positive for the virus.

Guy, a resident of the center and the father of three girls, including a girl in first grade, says that after all his little daughter's preparations for the Tu Bishvat events at school, they had to inform her that she would not be able to celebrate the holiday with her classmates - but in isolation. "

Fortunately

, all these exposures have so far ended in negative test results - but they have cost us a lot of frustration and bitterness over the loss of school days, a broken life routine and severe damage to the mental resilience of my daughters who have been in and out of house arrest for two years. "Such and others and suffer from anxiety about illness and infections, and forced distance from their friends and a diary routine."

"I could understand the outline of isolation for any exposure to verification in the education system in March 2020, when the epidemic was in its infancy, there were countless question marks about its nature and the degree of its danger to society in general and children in particular," Guy explained. "Today, when we are at the beginning of 2022, the situation is completely different, of course. Over 6.6 million Israelis have been vaccinated against corona in the last year, 4.4 million of them vaccinated with booster. Beyond that, we know how to deal with the disease in terms of guidelines "Social distance when necessary, and there is a particularly high availability of vaccines and rapid corona tests, including home kits."

Guy goes on to say that in his eyes "we, all of us, as parents, have the moral duty to press from below on decision makers in government and the Ministry of Education to work to achieve a workable outline that will allow our child the childhood they deserve. "The emphasis should be on providing help and relief to those aged 60 and over and to groups at risk."

"The education system must also understand this and act accordingly. It is also our duty not only towards our children, but also towards the teaching staff, principals and teaching staff who during this period do their best to maintain a frontal and hybrid learning routine with conditions of uncertainty and frequently changing guidelines."

Ahaz Agam, chairman of the parents' kindergarten committee, said that "the requirement that entire kindergartens be isolated because of one verifier is discriminatory and shows again that despite claims that education is at the forefront of government, this is not true.

" 5, so that they can not be vaccinated one way or the other, and therefore,

to

put an entire kindergarten into isolation every time, makes things actually closed even if not officially closed, "Agam argues.

"Return to kindergarten subject to tests." He says some parents find themselves in solitary confinement for three consecutive weeks."Week after week."
