I have been in the school where I work, getting ready for opening. My God you have to see it to believe what it looks like. A crime scene springs to mind, all that is missing is some people in white suits and masks.
Despite trying to brighten it up with bunting etc is is soulless. All toys and games have been locked away, no sand, no playdough, no dolls, no building blocks. Bookshelves turned around to face the wall. Books to read have to be 'rationed' and wiped down after use. We can only fit 16 in our dining room, they will barely be able to talk to each other and have a conversation. No ball games in the playground either or anything they can touch or be passed around by hand. Signs everywhere with do this, don't do that. I will report back but my guess is some of the infants will freak and want to go home because the teacher they adore, will have to keep them at arms length or more. We have sent a video of what it looks like to parents so they can prepare their kids for what they are in for. Year 6 will get bored of all the hand washing, one way systems, extra rules, sh*te food and figure out they got more work done at home and had more fun! Don't get me wrong, I want to get back to work and make the best of it but it's going to be interesting to say the least...and all we are doing is following the rules set down by the govt, no more, no less. |

Indeed paul. Totally pathetic rules and yet another huge overreaction. The damage this stupidity could cause children is frightening. We simply cannot go on like this.
This is the result of the Government building up this illness into something that so many seem to think rivals the black death just to ensure people stayed at home. For that alone Johnson should quit. |

Why not just give the kids an early summer hols? Then return early to start a 1/2 term in August (instead of the usual Sept) before the proper 2020/2021 education time table commences. This way a proper introduction back into school will alleviate any shortcomings parents and teachers may have.

Yes 1st time we know that you are one who actually believes it is as serious as the plague. I do hope you get over your fear in time and can go back to life the other side of your front door.

We seem determined, driven on by right wingers, to knock Them off top spot I see uk excess deaths are showing another spike having been falling in all areas bar Scotland, probably the result of those ve day parties. |

Dont think you are reading them.
My position is as stated about. Basically do not lock people up. Explain the risks properly and let them decide. |

Start with thread title...
You want folk to die whilst cowering in your bolt hole |

In reality IT thats where we are heading albeit too slowly for my liking. Lockdowns been and gone and it wont come back and now we will move on with getting slowly back to normal. The vulnerable will need to take care but as you say why should millions of people who wont be affected by this be expected to sacrifice months or even years of their own lives. Lost time can never be recovered.

Government tests have not been met to get to stage 3
But to get barney Cummings out of news they say tests are net Excess deaths already going up again Let's throw a few more teachers on the funeral pyre |

By:
I'd be tempted to agree with IT as long as we get the priorities right. If I saw a proper plan on how to protect the vulnerable I think I'd have more confidence in re-opening things for everyone else. Protecting the weak has to come first otherwise there'll be a window for the infection to take hold again and kill thousands more.
Problem is, we've seen nothing like that from this government. We've seen them contort their own advice to get a pal off the hook, seen mixed messages and patting themselves on the back for a "fantastic job" when even Dominic Cummings would be able to see they've been crap. That's the big issue right now. Confidence. Show us that you're on top of it and that people will be safe and we'll trust you with our kids and visit shops again. You're just going to get unused schools and shops if you don't. |

We need to release the lockdown, and get back to normal
But when it's safe to do it I t wants it lifted yesterday, I want figures down to manageable levels first. |

Another example of this government's failure just today.
Hancock announces on tv that dentists can open on June 8th. Looks like he's failed to tell dentists that though and they're telling people that they don't have the equipment ready to open in time. |

By:
Government picking suggestions out of a hat
Clueless |

By:
Hancock has to go.
All these decisions from the top is just madness. It is like a controlled economy on steroids with no infrastructure to run a soviet style economy. |

"Government tests have not been met to get to stage 3
But to get barney Cummings out of news they say tests are net Excess deaths already going up again Let's throw a few more teachers on the funeral pyre" Why are teachers special? They can take the same risks that everyone else does which in practice is tiny anyway. |
|
By:
Because they're already doing the job. Kids are learning from home. The only reason to send them to school is to traumatise kids with alien environments and to satisfy the bloodlust of some pensioner whose biggest risk is probably climbing the stairs.

Teachers ain't soecial
This is merely a thread about schools reopening |

By:
yhtl. I was only replying to your fantastically dramatic post about funeral pyres. The point is simple though kids are at virtually zero risk so can safely go to school and teachers are facing similar risks to millions of others who have been at work all the way through this lockdown.
|
|
By:
No they are not zero risk to those around them.
Hence banned from seeing grand parents |
|
By:
Well keep that ban in place. Thats irrelevant to going back to school.
|
|
By:
They simply don't understand at that age either
So asking them to not shiote in their pants or pish on the floor is going to happen |
|
By:
So they infect grand parents but not the teachers who are also
grand parents and can't see own grand children It's peverse |
|
By:
Are they really that scared about going back to work?
|
|
By:
With uncontrollable kids, yes
They have been managing just fine these past 10 weeks or so |
|
By:
Yes they have been doing great on full pay since the schools were closed. This idea that the kids are all getting a good education online and teachers are all working full time is a fantasy.
|
|
By:
They have been in school and inventing new ways to reach kids online
And writing reports Pretty much a full time job Your one person across the street forging your basis of a national profession is not a great basis to form an opinion. |

Won’t find these risk adverse teachers strolling down our busy promenade or stretched out on the crowded beach then, spend their day’s locked away inside their homes do they?

Provocative title but with kids its who the will pass it on to that is the major worry. Is this IT's new hobby horse? he's got off his Swedish one for understandable reasons.
