"I think it has been difficult because we have asked ourselves if we did the right thing by sending our children to school. But the authorities have thought about it a lot, so we agree."2. "I am satisfied with the measures adopted by the school, although we cannot see how they are implementing them. What they have told us seems to be well thought out and put into practice. Furthermore, I trust the teachers and the system."3. "It is true that there has been a bit of confusion. The Health Minister first said that if the children had relatives at home with coronavirus, they could not come. Then he said they could if they isolated themselves, there was also confusion with the social distancing... In the end, they sent a clear message and apologised. Now we are convinced that it is safe to send our children."
