You mean the risk to and from kids is neglibible?
I wish we had someone smart here to have pointed that out to us some time ago.

Pretty sure teachers aren't contracted through the summer holidays. So rather than change the rules, how do you get all primary age children back in school for a month before the summer hols, as promised, how do you feed them and allow them to exercise, when you can only allow 15 in a class and you've covered the hall and playing fields (lol) in temporary buildings you don't have teachers for?Off the top of my head:
There's a lot that can be done and that took all of 30 seconds to consider. I'm sure the great minds running the teaching unions can come up with even more clever ideas should they wish to.
- Alternate days so that all kids get at least some time in school
- Double-shift the school day - half on an 0800-1230 shift and half on 1230-1730
- Use sports halls, assembly hall, canteens, playgrounds/fields in the summer to increase space
- Extend the term through the summer holidays to make up for lost ground to date and through these measures
Oh, I'm sure that person would be far too modest (and incredibly good looking) to point themselves out in such a way.Pray tell...
They eat at their desks and they exercise at home - that's better than we currently have. Teacher numbers aren't an issue - each class of 30 has a teacher and an assistant.Pretty sure teachers aren't contracted through the summer holidays.

Too many "in power" are spending more time worrying about the political and judicial fallout from their miss handling of this pandemic than are even pretending to sort it.

Ha, ha, some fudge wits actually supported the idea of this tool becoming PM. Laughable isn't it...wait... oh...wait...oh no...we're all fudged now!
personally, I don't want my kids going back until I perceive it's as safe as it was before coronavirus arrived, I wouldn't have sent them back in June/July anyway, I'm not having them be guinea pigs
The is a tiny tiny risk to kids so little it is almost nonexistent.
Yet them not going back puts further risk to the economy and destroys even more lives. I guess people like @scaramanga and i are more caring and compassionate and care more about society than the individual.

??You just wait! There will be a countrywide uproar when to waiter finally give us the bill for all this!

This govt will give us the bill. It will use it as a political excuse for any cuts it wants and pass the bill on to the next Govt - a post Brexit, post CVD 19 election is not one the Tories will want to win.You just wait!
