If primary schools/nurseries open on 4th January, will you send your children?

[Lord Camomile]

I have enough trouble trying to work out what to do with just myself, no idea what I'd do if I had to think of my kids too. You guys have my sympathies

Yup, Mrs K's (new) head is just awaiting some political cover to close in T4. They've done all the prep to go to remote learning.

Don't forget the rule of 6 people - unless you're a teacher, in which case sit in a room for 6 hours with thirty kids who lick you...

I'm a governor at our school. I've just messaged to say they have my full support to close the school. Not one other governor came out to say it. Fucks sake.

My kids range from 32 to 18 so not a problem for me personally, I don't know if Eldest is going to send her son (4 in a week) to nursery, perhaps I shall ask her.

Got one at primary and one at secondary. We're tier 4 so the school is shut but they've both had assemblies online via Teams.

The schools seem much more organised for online teaching this time around.

I've not sent my daughter (8) in. She's on Teams as we speak. She's ok with it. I'm not keeping her off indefinitely if schools stay open, but we needed to self-isolate for a few days anyway so the timing is, er, convenient.

We’re tier 4 too, why on earth are our primary schools open???

We're tier 4 and the primary is open.

My brothers kids (4 of them accross 3 schools in West and North Yorkshire) are staying at home for at least 2 weeks. My neighbours here are both teaching this week in Hackney and Haringey, but one of them teaches special needs and was a keyworkers kids teacher in the Spring lockdown, so I don't know the situation. My other neighbour teaches at a college in Hackney and she's not going in, they're working online.

Doesn’t time fly as you get older. It seems like only yesterday that the Prime Minister was insisting that schools stay open.

Yesterday morning I put on a wash with school uniform in it and by the time I emptied the machine it wasn't needed anymore.
