    Opening of schools from classes 1 to 8 by the Odisha Govt. is all very good, but who will take the responsibility in the event of some student or teacher contracting COVID-19, will the school be responsible,no I don’t think so because they have had to open on the advise of the government and the government will wash their hands off.
    Children are going to be put to a very high risk which we parents can’t afford to take, therefore the government should rethink on this issue instead of putting our children to risk.
    Since we parents have waited for almost one year,let us wait a little longer till the situation is much better.

      Class 1 to 8 should reopen with a new session with promoting all children to their next class.

    See…Kids are meeting their friends after a year.Won’t they touch each other and do a handshake???Nobody is going to be responsible if the kids get the virus..If any teacher or the parents of the kids had contracted with corona it is still not safe….A bad idea.If anything happens to the kuds it is all the goverment’s and school’s fault…..
