Kochi Prefecture's response also included measures for the Omicron strain, which was compiled by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology to "refrain from choruses and recorder performances." From the educational field, there were voices that were worried about dealing with Omicron strains and worried about the impact on children. It is Asakura Elementary School in Kochi City. As of the morning of the 7th, I had not received any notification about the new response to Omicron stock, but the school had already taken measures in class. In the music class on the 7th ... The first thing the children went to was clapping. Due to the spread of the sixth wave of infection at school, we do not perform choruses or recorder performances in music classes. Principal Matsui says that some teachers are having a hard time teaching in the face of restrictions. "I think most teachers feel a dilemma that they can't do what they want to do. I can't help thinking about infection prevention, but I wonder if I can manage to do school education activities for my children." (Asakura Elementary School) Seiichi Matsui, Principal) Even in winter, classes are held with the windows open. At the end of the lesson, when it came to playing percussion instruments, the children had a lively look. After class, it's time for the children to have fun lunch. It seems to be a lively time, but the children quietly prepare for lunch. Even when they start eating, they don't say a word. To prevent droplet infections, schools have long been working on "silent eating" to eat silently. Only the sound of tableware echoed in the classroom. Korona-ka that lasts for a long time. Schools are worried not only about infection control classes, but also about the impact on children's own minds. "I definitely think that the mental and stress of children is very big. I just hope that they will end early and become a school full of normal children's laughter and smiles of children who seem to have fun. (Principal of Asakura Elementary School Seiichi Matsui)
