Debate|Why we should go back to school in May
By Katherine
First I will start for the motion. I will be discussing some of the major points, some data I have collected and my own experience.
- Education
- All children have the right to an education and development
- Many Children are struggling to concentrate and achieve goals without the right environment
- Mental Health
- For many kids school is a safe and a secure place in which to share their feelings, this is severely affecting mental health
- A sense of normality is very important and school is a place many children find that
- Friendships
- For children who do not have access to phones or computers there is no way to contact friends, who are a big part of both mental health and normality
- Friends keep your self worth and confidence in yourself
- Health
- Many schools in force healthy eating policies ensuring healthy habits, whilst many homes do not enforce such policies which can leave to bad habits
- Precautions to be taken
- Schools will be split into groups of 10 at a time with getting 1/3 of the day per group
- No outside play or contact
- Wash hands regularly
- Stagger numbers of days at a time starting from 2-3 days at the start of the week to a full week ( groups of 10 could be split into differents days)
- I will now move on to the against side
- Health
- As the cases are leveling, exposing many people to each other at once could vastly increase numbers, which in turn make the hospital workers work alot harder
- All kids have the right to healthcare
- Education
- As school is from home many kids have been increasing there interests in certain topics and subjects, with more time for activities and hobbies
- Family
- Lots of families have been bonding and spending time together whilst learning new skills
- Mental Health
- Many kids sleep cycles are being affected for the better, with no waking up for school in the morning; which has been proven to increase overall health and mental health
- With less pressure to be the best in school and infront of friends self confidemce has been soaring
- As an extra point many people are grateful
- Enviroment
- With less people driving the polution levels are dropping
- And the factorys and planes have not been working so the earth is having time to recover
In Conclusion I think schools should start middle to late may with the precautions I have talked about before and any other necessary precautions but if the numbers increase the lockdown will have to begin again. Colleges should be online for a year or 2. And many children should help around the house when they can.
