extend holidays (89 %)
conduct lessons via Internet (7 %)
students return to schools as scheduled (3 %)

Good afternoon dear viewers.
as shown above, most people have voted for an extension in the holidays, due to the recent outbreak of the H1N1 influenza.
in my personal opinion, i feel that schools should reopen.
a holiday is meant for students and teachers to rest and have " a break" from their hectic lifestyle of mugging and teaching .
on the other hand, school closure is meant to prevent infected students or school staff members from spread the disease.
by extending the holiday, would only mean that students would have lesser time to prepare for their national examinations.
in my opinion , all three of the suggestions can be considered extreme.
i propose that schools do not close , and instead reopen , or conduct block periods so that students in their graduating year would be given a chance to study with the guidiance of their teachers.
on that same note , i would also agree with the suggestion to conduct lessons online, for the students whom have unfortunately fallen ill due to the influenza A
.though it is a known fact that online learning is that much harder ,without the care and concern of a teacher.i feel this is the Best compromise.
this virus , is a test of will power.
i feel that those of us whom want very badly to do well during their national examinations should do all that they can to do well
whatever is worth doing is most certainly worth doing well .
we MUST perservere, we must stand united.
no!. schools should not be closed , and we should not let the world pass us by just because of a virus!
