I think schools shouldn't go back now. The virus is only hitting our shores now and by schools going back. Its going to get alot worse. Kids cant social distance themselves.Christine Horn (Port Elizabeth, 2020-04-30)

I cannot let my children be a stastitic of this killer disease. Our government failed to consult us as parents and follow informed decision on this issue. I would have felt at ease if we were in level 1. This uncalculated move will result in a dire circumstance and will definitely have a psychological effect on our children!Wongama Mduma (Port Elizabeth, 2020-04-30)

I don't feel safe sending my 9year old son out in the open. I don't think kids will be able to adjust to COVID-19 rules and regulations currently implemented. Our adults is a living proof of all of this, as they can't live by rules and regulations.A healthy child learning from home is better then a dead / Sick child.

SA is NOT ready to open schools and my kids safety comes first.Ek het net een vraag vir al die ouers wat so graag die skole weer wil oop hê. Hoe gaan dit moontlik wees vir ñ onderwyser en kind om nie die Virus kiem van ñ skrif, vraestel of tafels op te doen nie. Hulle moet nou wel maskers dra selfs handskoene as julle wil, maar die res van hulle liggaam kan nogsteeds die virus versprei? Gaan julle met ñ geruste hart jou kind kan skool toe stuur, jy as ouer wat God gekies het om jou kind te beskerm teen alle kwaad moontlik sonder enige twyfel dat jy jou kind se lewe in gevaar stel ? Jammer maar ek persoonlik dink hierdie voorsorg reëling gaan nie jou kind se veiligheid 100% waarborg nie.

My little boy is in Grade 1.How does a little one of 6 years or 7 years understand not to give his best friend a hug or touch him.
Or how do they play at break time?
The kiddies are 30 or more in a class. How do you keep them a meter apart in class?
I also state that they can close schools later in December and open earlier in January. Then they can also make up for these lost terms and work.

High risk of infecting kids noting that there's a steady increase in infections. There's no sign of flattening the curve hence kids should only attend school once the risk is absolute ZERO!Rajesh Bharat (Stanger, 2020-04-30)

Its risky to open the schools, why would any child know what to do, especially the lower grades, brake time and classrooms are to small for the number of children in one class, no please don'tLouise Rautenbach (Pretoria, 2020-04-30)

As a single father of a 7year old son, and I feel it's unsafe too soon to send kids back to school. Especially in the Western Cape where we have one of the highest numbers of infections, and the death toll just rose by over 100 in the last week.Nicholas Leonard (Cape Town, 2020-04-30)
