Acting fast
I am seven years old ("Schools in UAE will open on August 31 despite postponement pleas", Gulf News, August 5). My mother says that I would have to fast this year. I think I may not be able to because of the heat and high humidity, which would lead to dehydration. I ask the authorities to please reopen schools only after Ramadan.

Might faint
I am a grade six student. If the schools start on August 31, which also coincides with Ramadan, most of my Muslim classmates, who will be fasting, will faint because of the heat and high humidity. Please consider reopening schools after Ramadan.
