Trade unions and associations of families were worried and there were parents who said they were not going to send their children to school, which made it especially hard. We were talking to the counselors and healing saw that in the countries that had opened in August had gone well and that the 'bubbles' had worked. Keeping the schools closed was more harmful to students, but not all seen him equal. I was happy because we reached a joint agreement. "
