Go back ... as Gardel sang. After almost two years, more than 612,800 students return to their classrooms this Monday to continue the 2020-2021 school year in person.

Friends who meet, teachers who will scold, guide and review assignments, a bell that will ring again to mark schedules and a recess more than desired.

This November 8 closes one of the cycles of an idea, a battle, a science that was consolidated in injection that saves and brings smiles.
