If there is no confinement I think it will be a normal year. You will only have to wear a mask, but I think there will be no interference due to the coronavirus, I think it will be easier than last year."On the mask: "It's good, it doesn't matter. It's a simple thing and you will avoid a lot of problems if everyone uses it."- Sofia, mother of a 6-year-old girl:"I think it will be a little easier but it will not be everything as before yet. There are many things that can happen, some variant that comes ... You never know."Mask: "Here in Portugal it is only compulsory from the age of 10. My daughter is 6 and still wears a mask because last year she was in the United States, the students always wore a mask during the school year and there was no interruption or no case in her class. And she managed to do the entire school year. Therefore I think that it should not only be highly recommended, as the DGS says but also mandatory for all children from 6 years of age "."He always wore it last year and he did not complain, all the students took it, it is just a matter of habit and that the parents do not say" poor children ". They get used to it."

A federal judge has ruled 114,000 homeless students in New York City are to have their day in court. Business Insider reports a judge has allowed a class-action lawsuit to advance to expedite the roll-out of WiFi to homeless shelters across the city. The suit was filed when homeless students were unable to access the internet in homeless shelters during periods of remote learning this year. Business Insider reports the city provided students with iPads with unlimited cellular data, but many have had trouble getting proper cell service. US District Judge Alison Nathan wrote in her opinion that homeless students are deprived of their right to education without internet connectivity. For as long as that deprivation exists, the City bears a duty...to furnish them with the means necessary for them to attend school. US District Judge Alison Nathan
