Ii  strongly believe that the class four students should return to school but the correct precautions need to be taken. If they follow the guidelines they , as in the class four students, will be safe to a certain extent. The teachers should also do their best to make sure the students are doing what is right for their as well as the teacher’s health.

I personally believe that class 4's should go back to school. When students return to school they will be exposed to face to face interaction which will enable them to understand information better. Children tend to be more focused and concentrated when they are in a school-like environment rather than virtually. Students going back to school will also cancel out all distractions found in the home. Also it's best to get the Common Entrance Exam don't since completing it would bring about a sense of relief for the students.

i dont think class 4 students should go back to school because the virus could blow up again and they are way to many ups and downs and rules to follow. They mostly lightly would like to play but cant do that. Some students may not follow guidelines which is even worse.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't think class 4's should be going into school next month for many reasons.They always want to play and will most likely not abide to the social distancing,and for some children at home is a more comfortable environment because they can focus better. There are still things that are to to be figured out about the virus and it is dangerous.

 I stand with those who think that opening schools is not such a great idea. Although many children may prefer going to physical school, are we really willing to risk many lives? Children are very social humans and will be so elated to see their friends the whole social distancing thing will slip their minds. If you were at home for so long and you saw your closest friend wouldn’t you rush to greet them? At 11 years old I would.So no they should not go back to school.

No, they should not go back to school next month because they are many things unknown about the virus and we also do not know how many asymptomatic individuals there are exactly. In addition to this if children do not obey orders there is a possibility for the virus to spread through such individuals.

No, I do not believe that Class 4 students should return to the classroom because there are too many variables. Of course, we should find ways to make sure that our students are ready for this year's exam but are 4 weeks enough to do any sort of good for them?
Some schools would not have started teaching some of the subjects before school was suspended and 4 weeks is not enough to teach all new subjects

I think that the children should do the exam to get it over with because most of them would be tired after preparing since Class 3 but at the same time, they would be at risk of contracting the virus. However, we need to have faith and trust in God while still being careful of our surroundings.

I don’t think the children should return to school because they are young and they wouldn’t take the necessary precautions. Although the exam determines your future, life is more important and these children shouldn’t be put at risk.

Class 4 students should not return to the classroom . The children are not going to take the precautions seriously and will be eager to meet with their peers again , so they will want to hug and touch each other. Hugging and touching is not a part of social distancing .Although there will be safety precautions put into place there is no way every single person in the school will follow them .

No,I don't think Class 4 pupils should return to school in these conditions. It is basically sacrificing  children just for an education.What is the point of possibly infecting the whole exam student population,in the end there will be no sitters and the exam still wouldn't be completed.-Zhada♡

They should not be going back to school because there is a big risk in doing so.Although there will be safety precautions it only takes that one disobedient student who decided not to listen to the teachers to spread the virus. The student would not even know they had the virus in the first place and this can cause it to spread to the teachers and their classmates.

I disagree with the decision of the government. This is because these are young children that are returning to a normal classroom setting. The students may not take the necessary precautions needed to be taken to prevent the spread of the virus. I think the ministry should take this time to find an alternative solution that they can use in the future.

# data[].attributes.body
No, they should not be going to school next month for various reasons. One of them being that children neglect to take safety precautions seriously. Many of them don't understand the seriousness of this time. In addition most of the time many of them like to play and interact with each other. Therefore some may violate the safety measures just to do so. Then they have to back home to their families not knowing if they are carrying the virus. I say this because children can carry without even realizing. Therefore this can cause the virus to spread profusely again throughout the island.

No, Class 4 students should not return to the classrooms next month. Nor should anyone in Barbados where the virus is still to peak. Children tend to suffer badly with the virus and Barbados does not know enough as science is an ever-expanding, moving body. Physical distancing might be impossible with young students. Do teachers pick them up when they fall? Should they bring lunch boxes but not pencil cases? All of this has to be decided in little time.

In my opinion, the government should wait a little longer before letting back out the class 4 stuIn my opinion, the government should wait a little longer before letting back out the class 4 students or do the exam online because most children won't be focusing on the threats that Covid-19 poses to them Because they will be focused on the exam and seeing their friends for the first time in 2-3 months they will want to greet their friends with a fist bump of a pat on the back because they are children and personally if I was at home for 3 months I would want to go and play with my friend any chance I get.

I don’t think that the students should return to school because children like to interact with each other  and getting to see their classmates after a long period of
time the consequences of interacting with each other will slip their minds because
they are excited to see each other. Therefore this will increase the spread of the
virus during this pandemic.

I do not believe that Class 4 students should return to school because most children like to touch each other by giving each other hugs and high fives and stuff like that.I do not think that they would be able to follow the rules and precautions of social distancing in school and the virus can spread all around the school and infect everyone.

I do not think class 4 students should return to school because even tho there would be safety precautions taking place some children would likely not listen, and i feel that children like to do work in a more comfortable environment. Also most children like the fact that they get to stay home and do school work having the internet to their access.

Class 4 students should return to school next month because some children might have missed some online classes and work and if they return to school they can catch up on the work. When doing online classes anything can happen. Some of them are loss of connection, problems when submitting, glitching and many more. Some students may not even have the internet or worse yet, a device. So going back to school gives those kids a chance to get that work

Class 4 students should not return to school at this point in time.  A school setting could be a breeding ground for Covid 19. Children are not good at social distancing, especially after not seeing each other for a long time.  They will want to touch everything and each other.  Children will not hesitate to talk closely.  Several safety measures will need to be put n place before children can safely return to school.

Students should return to school because there are still some who do not have the necessary equipment to join online classes which places them at a disadvantage. Unfortunately some parents were laid off and now have no means to purchase the equipment.  Government has been seeking to source equipment which has been a challenge and also an additional expense. Re-opening the schools with strict health protocols can eliminate all this.

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that the students should return to school due to the fact that the teachers can help students in practical subjects like math and English. Usually students are confused after the teacher explains how they made their mistakes and the teacher has to explain further to ensure that they understand the concept. Henceforth for each child to have an equal chance at the exam they should return back to school.
