well for more now we're joined by sara blakeslee she's the chairwoman of berlin kids international a private school association here in berlin thanks for being with us what do you make of germany's germany reopening schools at this point is that the right decision it's a difficult thing because of course on one hand we have the numbers of cases that are no going back up so it does seem like on the one hand we have the kids who are stuck at home with parents and need this social interaction you need to schooling and on the other hand we do want to really watch out for the safety of our children well speaking of the safety of the children are you worried about the risk that this poses not only to the children's health but to the health of their families. i think there is concern there because of course not every family deals with the shutdown in the same exact way and have different ways of dealing with the social interactions and who they're interacting with and of course when you're sending your children to a school with other children you can no longer keep track of who they're meet
