Schools and students face uncertain future in Japan

This article talked about students in Japan starting their new school year, and how they have to deal with the problem of the tsunamis and the nuclear power plant. Some schools are being delayed for weeks, but for kids going back to school its a very emotional and scary time for them being away from their families. To me this would be very hard to focus on schoolwork with all of the problems in Japan going on around them. People are wondering if the schools are even safe enough for students to be going back to. To me all of this would be distractions for me as a teacher or student and would be hard to focus on the school aspect.
