현석쌤: Let me ask you a question to get this going for today. How many times does your son go to school? He is in first grade, right?
제니쌤: Yes. He started elementary. He is in grade 1 and he goes to school every day.
현석쌤: Every day?
제니쌤:Yes. In the beginning when he started school in August this year, he did have to take virtual classes.
현석쌤: Those remote learning.
제니쌤:Remote classes for about 2 ~ 3 weeks and then he started going to school.
현석쌤: But a lot of school have quota in terms of how many students can be in school to take classes these days. Those are some government guidelines and policies
제니쌤: Which have to be followed.
현석쌤: That's right
제니쌤:I believe, up to I guess, second or third graders, they go to school every day and then above that some go twice a week, maybe once a week. ### different for different grades and different age groups.
현석쌤: ### varies from regions to region, I believe.
제니쌤:Sure, of course.
현석쌤: varies from school district to school district.

[Speaking] Talk about COVID-19 Prevention Measures in Schools.
It has been almost a year and a half since COVID-19 turned our lives upside down. Many people are doing their utmost to get through this difficult time. The vaccination rate in Korea is rising steadily, and people are starting to hope for returning a return to normalcy.
In schools, too, teachers and students are adjusting to this new environment in their own ways. They are trying their best to follow COVID-19 prevention guidelines.
Remote learning is conveninet for students, but it seems many prefer to return to school. I hope that we'll soon be rid of coronavirus concerns, so that students can go back to school in high spirits.
COVID 19가 우리 삶을 크게 바꿔놓은지도 거진 1년 반이 다 되갑니다. 많은 사람들이 이려운 시간을 이겨내기 위해서 혼신의 힘을 다하고 있다. 국내 백신 접종률이 꾸준히 올라가면서 정상적인 삶으로의 복귀에 대한 희망이 생기고 있다. 일선 학교에서도 선생님과 학생들이 이런 새로운 환경에 나름대로의 방식으로 적응해가고 있다. 코로나-19 방역 지침을 잘 지키려고 최선을 다하고 있다. 학생들은 원격 수업이 편하긴 하지만 많은 학생들이 학교에 다시 다니는 것을 더 좋아하는 것 같다. 학생들이 즐겁게 학교로 돌아갈 수 있도록, 하루빨리 코로나 걱정없이 살 수 있으면 좋겠다.
