Deputy Prime Minister Sanan Kachornprasart personally believed it was now time to temporarily close all schools so as to control the spread of influenza A(H1N1).
Sanan, who chairs a committee on dealing with the disease, Monday suggested that all schools should suspend their classes now to prevent the spread of the disease.
"The suspension should last two to four weeks during which major cleanup operation would be conducted," Sanan said, "After that, the schools can resume the class and arrange makeup classes later".

Added a poll to get the general idea/opinion of everyone. I suppose, if they close all the schools/colleges nationwide for 2-4 weeks then it would be an interesting kind of chaos that would decend upon everywhere. If they don't want so many to gather at educational instituations then they will simply gather at malls and elsewhere. Then again, many would simply go home to the villages, so maybe OK. They are thinking of at least closing some 450 schools etc in Bangkok though.
Feel free to say why you voted for which answer. Will any of it make a difference? Starting to see students and teachers with surgical mask on now.
I voted not sure as it might not do any good. If they do close schools then I get an unplanned holiday.
