Not impressed with my kids school at all.
The teachers have basically engineered a situation where they can have home schooling for the last week so that none of them have to isolate over christmas, but the last week of school has been a complete joke.
the teachers basically printed off a couple of xmas themed wordsearches and colouring in sheets and let them get on with it - both my kids 3 school years apart got given the same sheets.
They basically couldn't be arsed for the last week, and now they'll have a longer Christmas break as well.
Getting a lot of that chatter around the family about teachers and not being impressed some of the homework set etc , good jobs the shop assistants,health workers, police , fireman, paramedics , postal workers, truck drivers etc didn't apply the same .
I get the fact there are risks however they can bubble , the folk I mentioned are out and about coming into contact with millions of different people daily, big thanks to them all I say .
Like everything else I'm sure there is some politics on there somewhere , not all but some .
To be fair to the teachers, they don’t normally do much curriculum based work in the last week before Christmas. What’s worse is to pretend they do and send a load of work home for the kids to do with their parents, which mine have had. Luckily my two love doing it so I set them up and they crack on. It must be a nightmare for some, as will the first week back when they are home again and parents are in work
Meanwhile in South Dakota, home of the anti-maskers, where COVID is taking off bigtime:

My girlfriend's kid goes to private school and they certainly didn't stop working until the end of term. Absolutely no reason for them to basically down tools for the last week, I think it's disgusting.
If they had covered the syllabus already then they could have spent a week going back over things or anything.
They just couldn't be bothered,

That graph is scary. Why is Wales so much higher?
The chart showing the worst council areas here has seven Welsh areas in the top ten in the U.K.

Yet, the latest ONS figures show the R in Wales is below many regions in England and that in England one in one hundred and fifteen people has Covid, in Scotland it's one in one hundred and twenty five, while in Wales and Northern Ireland, who are both going into lockdown just after Christmas, its one in one hundred and seventy five and one in two hundred and thirty five respectively.
My guess would be a mixture of:
- Wales has some very rural areas but most of the population lives close together and we're almost on top of each other in some places. Likewise, areas where different generations are living in the same home, or near enough.
- Greater distrust of experts, media and politicians so fewer people following the guidance. Greater apathy so not caring about the rules and desire for an authoritarian leader - we have one across the bridge selling the possibility of it being more positive than it is and encouraging people to take risks.
- The firebreak was signed up to reluctantly and by people who believed they could act however they wanted after 2 weeks. (It would have been political suicide to have extended it but probably the right thing to do).
- Harsher restrictions has seen people rebelling in ways they might not have if they could still go bowling etc.
Good information (http://www.freshair.wales/) is out there but there are also high profile ex-international rugby players (and the status that brings) saying their rights are being infringed by being asked to wear a mask and they're not going to do it anymore....
Here's the link I took the info in the last paragraph above from.
