Quote: IR80 "It is the easy route for the lunatic left, 100% hindsight, no real ideas other than harking back to Thatcher and their ability to buy their council house. Unfortunately that is the way this works, believe in socialism or get abuse, which goes ignored. unless of course you have an opposite opinion, and then you get warnings.'"
That appears to be the difference between us . Some of us do have ideas about how to get schools back but it will take planning and have to rely on working with individual schools by LA’s.
Simply put not all schools are the same. Some have lots of room and some are jam packed therefore individual schools need individual plans. Your idea is as simple as all schools must open fully which is. Recipe for disaster.
Simple things could be done to make things better for teachers and schools. Next year will not be a Normal year so normal ways of working should be suspended.
Simply put. No SATS this year. All emphasis on those in final exams years in secondary schools ie year 11 and year 13. Years 7. 8, 9, 10 and 12 on reduced timetable possibly in for 3 days a week staggered then homework set for the other two days.
Primary schools no timetable for years 1 and 2 lets use the European model of socialising children before the formal education begins. This would allow some of the classes to be led by none teaching staff to cover sickness, isolation and free them up to on Concentrate on the elder junior children
All of the above takes pressure off teachers and schools and gives them flexibility to work.
None of this is rocket science but it seems beyond our Tory posters and Tory government . Get it wrong then we will have local lockdowns all over the place Or even worse a national lockdown.
