Schools should not close because of the H1N1 Virus

Some people think that schools should close because of the H1N1 Virus.However, I believe that if the government closes the schools, it will cause a lot of problems.

Although I am a student, I do not agree with this measure. Firstly, the schedule of the school curriculum is very tight. If the schools close because of the virus, it will suspend classes. This will seriously influence teaching progress. Also, the school students have to reduce the summer vacation. May and July are the test months, if the schools close, the students could not see and ask their teacher something that they don't understand.I think it is unfair to the students.

Secondly,.If the schools close, the F.5 students may have problem joining the HKCEE. They may not be able to take the exam. As a result, the HKCEE results may not be available. So, if only the school the results are counted, it can cause a very unfair situation.I think it not just unfair of the F5 students, it is also unfair of all students in Hong Kong.

In conclusion, I believe that school should not close because of the H1N1 Virus. This will put off the summer holidays and it is unfair to the F5 students who could not join the HKCEE exam.Therefore, I think that suspending classes is not a good way to fight against the H1N1 virus. However if the epidemic situation gets worsening, suspending classes may be the most effective arrangement for a short term.
