Instead of reason, rationality, open-mindedness and altruism, we are telling them to panic, be fearful, suspicious, reactionary and self-interested.                   Dr. Abdu Sharkawy We all know that Covid-19 is coming to Belgrade sooner or later. As a school, we are prepared for it. But, all the information points to the fact that the virus itself will not likely do much harm when it arrives. Most research shows that if our children become infected, it will be a milder version than adults.   So, why do we have our action plans in place at ISB?
