Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

Just thinking about all the posturing from politicians on both sides about the importance of education and I wonder what effort has been made since the first lockdown to get children ready to move their learning online. I would guess in the vast majority of cases there's been absolutely none, which suggests to me that making sure children have access to teaching isn't really that high on their priority list after all.

In Spain, I was teaching 6 online lessons per day to my Y4 class with full attendance and engagement. It wasn't ideal but it showed something could be done. It accelerated the way aspects of learning will go over the coming years and should be embraced. Again, another opportunity missed by this appalling government.

Completely agree. I keep saying that this useless government missed the boat last March when they had the opportunity to ensure all children had access to laptops and that online learning was as quality as it could be. That's what every educator in the country wants for times like now.

They refused to do that.

It seems everyone gets their news by the 200 odd characters you are allowed in twitter these days and don't look at the whole picture. Why doesn't she know that the problem is not the kids themselves, it's the fact they could get it from mixing with anyone in their year, be asymptomatic and then pass it on to others at home who are vulnerable. FFS.

Has he really waited until the teachers went back to then just close schools in a lockdown?

[BlueToff]

I'm off to see my mum and dad anyway, don't care. Only two people I see as it is.

Utterly pointless.

He's a scumbag of a man that cannot make a decision for himself.

It’s worrying when lids on a footy forum call stuff out before elected politicians.

None has - don’t forget, Dido Harding said publicly that they’d no prediction this would get worse in the winter.

Which flies in the face of everything known about previous pandemics.

She is one thick Tory bellend.
