[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So back to European schools....

many countries have closed schools this time around.  A notable holdout has been France.  They have been determined to keep schools open.  When many other schools closed over Christmas break, France did not.

However, they are currently discussing whether they should extend the February holidays.  Schools in France often get a February break.

French President Emmanuel Macron and his government are considering extending the upcoming school holidays in an effort to slow down the spiralling spread of Covid-19, the government spokesperson said on Thursday.[/quote]

[quote]Schools in France go on holidays at different times in February depending on where in the country they are located. Zone A schools break up on February 6th, zone B on February 20th and zone C on February 13th (see the official calendar HERE).

One of the options to halt the spread of the virus mentioned by Attal would be to move February school holidays "one way or the other" in order to keep everyone at home together at the same time.[/quote]

I believe they will make this move very soon, and start everyone's holidays on Feb 6th.   Give everyone three weeks vacation instead of one.  It is a face saving measure, to say they aren't closing schools, they are just extending vacation.[/quote]

Whelp.  It took them two months, but France finally went back into lockdown.
