        No, schools should remain closed, continue with HBL lessons at home.

        If they want to let the older ones attending Junior Colleges to prepare their National \"A\" level exam go school or Polytechnic students go poly, because these students being older, are more mature, more sensible, we will see. But for the younger ones, especially the primary school kids and kindergarteners, should continue with HBL.

        If they want to let SMEs business to open after 4 May, there is a separate issue, because that concern business survival.

        now with 1426 cases, Singapore has become like the \"Italy, in Asia\"


        there are fw, NOT staying inside the dorm.

        Some fw are staying OUTSIDE the dorm, making it harder to control.
        This can form a second wave, if Singapore let her guard down this time

        because

        there are still migrant workers of other nationalities, NOT tested and not staying in dorm.
        This group, not easy to control

                this morn heard class95 , dunno interview which person also says maybe 2 weeks

                I think v likely, trying to give early notice and conditioning of people's mind not to over panic

                MOM sent notices to Corp org to cut down people traveling to office n make more work fr home

                i have NAtional exam kids lei ... but of course think to be safe students cannot go to sch first
                How to social dist in sch - so difficult la, But dunno exam how lei

                mrs ks no exam - no need Kiasu this yr, this yr ca rest ,shake leg, watch Netflix 😉

                  Even schs reopen, they will keep the recent measures of min. Interaction among diff classes.


                  The only question now is how many ppl working with the migrant workers who may work with those living in dorms, have kids and families and goes to schs here. They are the only link to them now, if local transmission reduce further.

                    Even with schs remain close, no use if their families members still go out everyday and bring them to markets etc. The kids are still exposed.

                      From what I see, our govt is not favouring a harsh lockdown, else that would have been done right from the start. Their approach is rather progressive and reactive, though Im not saying that is good or bad. But they need to weigh it with our very interlinked and fragile economy. Another month of lockdown means pushing us all back further into a more negative recession. We have not really felt the full effects of the recession yet with all the huge govt stimulus supporting almost everyone. There are many different camps now, some want safety, some really need money to support their families. Govt has to have a macro view approach. And yes, work and schools go hand in hand. But personally, I feel as long as local cases are down, it is ok for schools to reopen, as long as everyone wears mask and still practice safe distancing (which they do sit 1m apart in class).

I m not so sure..dsa dunno have or not ... they may be some good thing coming out from bad situations, hopefully..
