Meanwhile some schools were just getting on with it, and other countries seem to be managing.
I doubt schools will reopen fully in September. We are nowhere near that and lots of arguments will be found to not do it

Yes absolutely. Schools are not baby sitters and it may be convenient for those parents that both work to get back their free childcare , but it is not good for children to be mixing and bringing back the virus. I very much doubt 6 months of non schooling for a 6 or 8 year old is going to make any difference in the long run.
ps now's the time to get shares in portakabin and furniture. My daughter's school (years 3-6) has about 60 pupils in each year. ATM there are only about 3/4 of yr six back, plus 20 keyworker and vulnerable children. Just those children alone are taking up 7 classrooms. When the whols school comes back, they'll need double the amount of classrooms (at least) plus extra desks and so on
I think it's very sad. However, it seemed to me that they hadn't realised that most schools are simply not big enough to cope with the measures as planned.
It is interesting that the unions are now saying it was a "practical" inpossibility (which it probably is)
Up until know the objection seems to have been safety.
