According to the Chamber, in a publication on its Facebook page, it is “a joyful 1.20m” propeller that works with a friendly suggestion of removal “.
“The kit consists of 7 pieces in colored polypropylene and can be assembled by the children themselves, resulting in an element of great originality and pedagogical nature”, adds the publication.
However, the idea is not consensual. On the Facebook page of the municipality of Arcos de Valdevez, many users criticize the “propellers”.
“Ridiculous, unacceptable, shameful. Poor interpretation of the guidelines of the DGS and Ministry of Education ”, says one user.
“I think that this tool (hat, propeller, toy or whatever we want to call it) can work as a way to help children understand the concept of social distance that they certainly see in the public space and even in their extended family contexts ”, Considers another user.
Second O Observer, the idea is not original, it was already used in April in some Chinese schools, when classes started again. And there was also a variant in Germany, in which people put the reels used in swimming lessons on their heads.
