    Very welcome thought to reopen schools. Children during Covid shutdown have developed a very changed behaviour and more aggression particularly children of age slightly over 4 years. Unfortunately kids of this age have not seen school even for one day and therefore have turned more irritating and aggressive despite parents paying full school fees/ dues in lakhs. Kids schools are operating on line with all assignments being dealt by their poor parents despite their own huge work load and this adds to more frustrating moments. Govt may seriously consider opening schools of all levels with instructions of maintaining strict protocol by the school administration.
