Miloslav Janeček, director of the Jarov Secondary Vocational School in Prague 9, has extensive experience with the quarantine of his pupils. However, only pupils who have not been vaccinated or have not been sent to the ordered quarantine. In the case of most classes, it was the case that a third of the pupils had to go to our school’s quarantine and the other two thirds went on to school, “Janeček described to Pražský deník. His school has not yet started online teaching due to pupils this school year. “It was because most of the students in each class went on to school.”

Zdeňka Hamhalterová, director of the Arabská Grammar School in Prague 4, has experience with six quarantined classes. “In one of these classes, the quarantine was twice in a row. Due to the fact that out of 600 students, 375 are vaccinated, some classes were quarantined, “said the principal. Quarantine was ordered for the teacher. “I asked him to take advantage of hybrid teaching. We bought several visualizers, we use microphones, students connect from home. I teach a differential calculation seminar myself. Of the 24 students, four were in quarantine, they joined from home to solve problems, so students participate in the discussion both at school and outside it, “described the director Hamhalter.

According to her, this type of teaching is more demanding not only for students but also for teachers. “A presentation must be prepared in advance, a screen in the Google classroom. But the main thing is for the student to feel that 90 minutes of teaching have not been wasted,” says the principal, adding: to interesting questions from students when it is necessary to improvise or draw several pictures. “

Respirators even during classes

Currently, two students have received positive results this week in antigen testing at the Czechoslovak Academy of Business Dr. Edvard Beneš. “We sent these two students from the same class to the verification result of a PCR test, but we do not know the results yet. As a precaution, we also wear respirators to students of the given class during class, but quarantine measures have not been announced yet, as we are waiting for the PCR test result, “said Renata Dvořáčková, Deputy Director of the Czechoslovak Academy of Commerce. Edvard Beneš.

So far, they have had three positive students at the Secondary Vocational School of Gastronomy in Prague 10. “In our school, most classes have teaching alternately in practice and then in theory at school. Individuals have always been quarantined. So far, we haven’t had to go online. However, teachers have been preparing for this variant of teaching since the preparatory week in August, “Kateřina Mrvová, the school’s director, described to the Prague daily.

The quarantine of part of the classes also affected the Nad Alejí Grammar School in Prague 4. “However, the whole classes were not quarantined, but only 60 students from a total of six classes according to the instructions of the hygienic station. There was no online teaching yet, we sent materials to the quarantined students, “said Jiří Benda, director of Gymnázium Nad Alejí. Monday’s testing at the school did not reveal any positive students.

So far, the quarantine is also avoided by the class of Štěpánka Prokopiusová from Gymnázium Arabská. “Our class I. D is still holding, but in the secondary I. E some students were already in quarantine. And it’s half that if the classes were quarantined, then everyone would go to it, “the 15-year-old student described.

Testing of students at this school has been going on in recent weeks. Unvaccinated, but also those vaccinated. “I make sense to me. The fact that someone has vaccinations does not guarantee that they will be negative, “says Štěpánka Prokopiusová.

According to her, online teaching is demanding for self-study. Much of the ninth grade spent last year at the distance school at home. “I am afraid of any testing so that we do not end up in quarantine. Fortunately, Monday’s testing turned out well. “

Two positive students were captured this week at the Arabská Grammar School, where Štěpánka Prokopiusová attends. “However, because the testing was right after coming to school, no one is quarantined,” the director Zdeňka Hamhalterová told the Prague daily.
