Yep. Military personnel holding webinars to instruct teachers how to test pupils during a pandemic is dystopian as fuck. Almost laughable

General Huge Pockets and Deadpan Delivery can be in charge. After a webinar on testing from him you'll wish you had the fucking virus the charisma vacuum.

I’ve got Skol but I’m not a Scholar
If other primaries are like mine, the problem isn’t just the management of pupils, but also the clusters of parents having a chin wag at the school gates, no masks, no distancing. Every fucking evening they’re at it, blocking the pavement so I have to walk into the road with the pushchair to pass them.

Seems a ubiquitous phenomenon at primary schools tbh.
It's really hard maintaining that kind of unnatural way of being with people over the long term when the natural thing is to come together and chat. It can be hard, and lonely, being a parent, talking with other parents at the school gate is the only meeting up some people have.

I don't think you can tell people that it's OK for the kids to all be squashed together inside all day but not OK for them to stop for a couple of minutes outside for a chat and expect that to stick tbh.

Johnson even said "schools are safe" again in the latest presser the day it was revealed all schoolkids will be having compulsory testing

He may have done. I seem to remember him just saying it like a mantra, a throwback from the days they could still lie about it

yes. schools are perfectly safe, it's the fact that people from different households mix in them that's the problem.

Boris Johnson says ‘the problem is not the schools’, but the household mixing that ‘naturally takes place’ there

Looks like all the local authorities writing to Gavin Williamson re the insane situation in London (totally random selection of boroughs in which to keep primary schools open or not) are still awaiting any news of a rationale behind this.

Bizarre.
We - and every other parent in Worcestershire - received a letter from the LA/AT/Head at some point in june to confirm that while children should return to school, there would be no sanction applied nor absence marked as unauthorised if parents decided to keep the kids out of school because of worries over Covid.
