Are you happy for them to go back Matt? I think I would, my six year old probably doesn’t need to until sept, 8 year old could prob do with a few days in.....it won’t happen here in Wales though.

You talk shiiiit all the time, who were you on here before your latest guise? Another new username coz you are a weirdo. You know what I meant, I’m describing a low number. Three isn’t good but it’s very low compared to those over 75 u freak

Anyone been to the supermarket ? You're probably 100x more likely to get CV19 in Tesco compared with sitting in the garden talking to your children/grandchildren whilst keeping 2m apart.
Then again, rules are rules, and the people must obey..

Yeah, but you can't eat your kids so I guess we need the supermarkets to be open so we don't feckin starve.
Scotland are announcing an easing of their rules tomorrow, allowing people to meet those from other households outside. Wales and Scotland seem to be on a similar page on Covid so I would expect to see something similar in Wales.

Re: Easing of restrictions tomorrow?
Thank God we live in Wales I say, with sensible governance. I'm hoping the lockdown continues; let's not give this twat of a virus a second chance through stupidity and impatience

we are still not sure, as 17yr olds they should understand social distancing and she has been out with her boyfriend a few times and they have walked 2m away from each other, they have sat on our front lawn and sat apart ( more likely 5 M apart to be fair ) she has had a few picnics with her friends ( with social distancing of course, each stuck to there own picnic blanket )
She has been working hard at home ( unlike her sister who has struggled to get motivated for school work ) and her course is mainly assignment based, she has handed in 2 during lockdown and got her Distinctions so she doesnt need to go in for the educational side of things
the school has gone rather quiet in the last few days, so not sure whats going down with it all
honestly we dont have a clue , just watching BoJo's briefing, secondary schools will be june the 15th, so another 2 weeks time to give us a bit more time to decide

Re: Easing of restrictions tomorrow?
I'm done with listening to the rules if they don't give us some sensible freedom from Monday. They will probably keep playing political games though.
Where I live there are packs of up to 30 blokes/boys (16-60) on bikes drinking and doing what they want. My neighbours are having parties on their balconies, most people are just doing as they please and I'm free to stand in line at B&Q if I want.
All I want to do is drive 15 minutes to the nearest deserted beach with my dog as I did every day before lockdown which now makes me public enemy number one.

The 'new normal' - government locks the people up whenever they consider it's in the public interest..

Crikey. Virtually all of the lefties I know are teachers, lecturers, NHS workers, even well off people with their own businesses.
Most of the right wing people I know are those of lesser intelligence who won't even acknowledge anything factual and prefer their own opinions, regardless of how wrong they are. Most of them have no idea about the economy.

Leftie business owners? Yeah righto

Re: Easing of restrictions tomorrow?
What I don't get is that seeing how much of the last 3 months that the children have been off school, why can't when the go back, stay in school through august or part of it?
I recall reading somewhere that it was suggested but that the teachers unions veto'd it, something to do with teachers holidays or something but I cannot believe that.
so why can't they be in school through august and catch up, specially the poor buggers who have exams next year,

Because they’ve been locked in for 11 weeks and counting.
Poor ****ers are going stir crazy, especially the ones observing the restrictions.
And now you want to take their six weeks holidays off them?
I assume you haven’t got young children?

Surprisingly so. It seems like a given that those who chase money and profits must be on the political right but that's not entirely true. There are bosses out there who look after their staff and value their product before huge wads of cash. There are bosses who have no issue with paying taxes and contributing to society in that way.

They haven't been off school. Most have been learning at home. I know my nephew has been studying hard through this and is practically studying 8 hours a day Mon- Fri.

Most of what has been written about teaching unions has been bollocks to pursue a political agenda. The Daily Heil has been particularly awful in this regard. Teaching union asks that things are as safe as possible for teaching staff before returning. Daily Mail suggests that's a dreadful thing and unions are to blame for schools not opening.

I'm not sure if this is a wooosh ot not lol.
I don't think the kids would mind being in school with all their mates but I just don't understand why it cannot be done.

Exactly.
Also, it's hardly as if teachers have been sat around doing sod all as well. They have been working with kids remotely, especially kids doing GCSEs and A Levels.
I bet all these people on furlough will be taking their full leave entitlement. In fact, in our place they have allowed furloughed staff to carry forward leave into next year as well, unrestricted. Oddly, I was refused a day off for tomorrow because there is too much work on.

My wife is a teacher and has worked every day throughout lockdown.
She'd scratch your eyes out if she was asked to work through the summer holiday.

Because the kids need a break. They need holiday time with parents.

I wouldn't mind betting that she has been working harder than usual too.
I love all these experts who usually harp on about "teachers holidays". It's usually envy because they weren't quite clever enough to be teachers, and had to end up being something mundane like a logistics manager instead.

I'd forgotten about that. My son's school has been busy every day during the lockdown supplying work, marking and answering parent queries etc.
Funny how some people think of schools as a place to dump their kids, as some glorified child minding service with some learning thrown in.

Yeah, or teachers are lazy so-and-sos because of all the holidays they get.
I know teachers who stay for hours after school helping kids out, weekend work, lesson plans throughout the year, start it all again for the next year.
