The schools have been open. Our local primary has been open with the majority of staff still in there. The only difference has been that the kids have been limited to those from key workers, which is a larger number than you might think. So schools already know how to handle social distancing, the issue is one of space and utilisation of main halls etc. I think it’s daft to send them back before September, but a number of parents can’t wait to get them back in school. Cummings is not even part of the discussion never mind the issue.....

But Pete the issue is if you up the intake 3,4,5 x over it obviously poses different questions doesnt it? A classroom with 5 or 6 kids in is vastly different to one with 30 kids in. Parents will understandably be worried about about happens in such situations.

I spoke to my mum (a teacher and a union rep) and she put forward the suggestion weeks ago about just bringing the summer holidays forward. I have no idea why something like that wasnt seriously considered. Have a 10 week summer holidays, teachers on a rotation basis and work for a mid July return. Surely that makes more sense?

I read that earlier. It’s very funny.

Especially the Tiger Woods comparison!

The issue is people have to go back to work.

No chance.

Surely if it were true they wouldn’t be so stupid.

Cummings is finished in this government. Dont know why he doesn't just quit and get another job somewhere else. Hes not even a member of the tory party and he seems to hate everyone he works with. Theres something wrong with him.

Which is fine, so why not make the workplaces safe by working with, not against teachers?
