My youngest is not going near a sinovac vax. If it becomes mandatory for attending school, I think they'll be a lot of push back.
My oldest already has the Pfizer, but that was his choice as he wanted to be able to do school football, etc.

I stopped watching Netflix cos HK Gov is way more entertaining! I feel sorry for all HK parents, WFH and homeschooling in those noisy little apartments.
I'm curious to see the impact it will have on the kids for missing so much school. I was reading a French teacher saying last year already that the writing level went down a lot.
Speaking as a teacher... It's impossible for children to stay focused all day on Zoom. Impossible and unrealistic.
Far too easy to switch to another tab and do something else.
Teachers can't pick up on students who aren't paying attention or who haven't grasped something just by looking at their face or body language.
Being on Zoom also removes all those little in office conversations about students which are so helpful.
Parents might think being on Zoom is fine but as a teacher I can tell you it is extremely damaging to their progress.
I know I have said this repeatedly but I am not worried so much about my kids' learning. Yes they have a wonderful dad but more importantly the class plans have been completely rewritten to make the teaching online friendly.
It seems to me that in Hong Kong they have just put the face to face classes onto zoom. Here they have only one or two hours online each day. Everything is presented for online teaching and study. But the teachers know face to face classes will not start anytime soon.
Where they are missing out is the social side of school.
