‘This Will Push Many People Over the Edge,’ Parents Warn as Hong Kong Closes Schools Until April Over Coronavirus Fears
“This will push many people over the edge” to seek overseas schools, Benny said.
“We are working double the hours than we usually do,” said Divya Hira, a teacher at the Korean International School. “The fact that students now can contact us throughout the day makes it even more tough on us to be present and help answer their queries.” But younger students in particular need help navigating the online systems. Yang’s daughter, a first-grader at an American school, needs help to access the internet, complete her lessons, and print out documents.
It’s all far from ideal, though refunds aren’t warranted, said Anne Murphy, a consultant at ITS Educational Services Ltd., which works with international schools. “If the government closes schools until April or May,” Murphy said, “I feel there will be a huge exodus of families.”
