The deadly coronavirus COVID-19 has spread to at least 69 countries, affecting all aspects of life. As part of its disastrous influence, Vietnamese schools at all levels have been closed for more than a month. There is a common argument that children should be allowed to go back to school for the sake of themselves, their family and the whole society. How far do you agree with this opinion?

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a catastrophic effect on all aspects of life , particularly the education system as

schools

at all levels have been shut down for more than a month in Vietnam. Some people believe that educational institutes should be opened up as it will benefit not only the

students

and their families but

also

society as a whole. In my opinion, I strongly disagree with

this

opinion as it will compromise

students

safety

and there are alternative teaching methods available that can be used until the health concerns are reduced. The main reason why I believe the re-opening of

schools

will be disadvantageous is that it will compromise

students

they will have a higher chance of being exposed to the virus and possibly fall sick or even becoming carriers of the disease and passing it on to their families and communities.

For example

, one infected student can easily infect all of his or her classmates as they share many common places in the school. Due to

this

reason, academic institutions can become hotspots of viral transmission which may

further

lead to community spread. Another reason why I think it is too early to send pupils back to their places of study is that there are alternative teaching methods that can be implemented so that the

schools

can still keep teaching their

students

without them needing to physically be there.

This

can be implemented by using a distance learning format with the help of the internet. Online tools

such

as video conferencing and academic portals could be effectively used to conduct classes and tests.

This

will be beneficial as it would ensure that children's academic growth is not stopped as well as

safety

is maintained. In conclusion, I completely disagree that

students

should be sent back to

schools

at

this

stage of the pandemic as it will be a major

safety

concern and other alternatives of teaching can be implemented in today's day and age. Given

this

situation,
