Thank you to my friend on facebook for posting this article:

Liam Printer is a teacher in Switzerland where schools reopened safely in May. There was no rise in case numbers and schools have remained open.

   "I teach in a secondary school in Switzerland and here, all schools have been back teaching in our real classrooms since 11 May. Yes, with real, live people around who exist as more than just avatars or thumbnails.

....

We need to continue to put the focus on happiness, inclusion and relationships.

....

This unprecedented situation provides us with an opportunity to be brave, explore new approaches and do whatever we can to get our students smiling and fully engaged again."

Good news amongst all the bad.
