El retorn a l’escola

School resumed in person here on September 14. Although the photos don't reflect this, both kids seem very happy to be attending school in person. I felt very apprehensive about it, in great part because the positivity rate in Barcelona seemed too high to warrant it. But the case rate here has stayed level and even decreased slightly since school started, in contrast to Madrid. We'll see if it holds. The department of education has consistent protocols in place for all schools, and we're doing our best to minimize exposure in other ways.

This NYT article about Italian schools captures an attitude which I think the Spaniards share.
