There were zero cases in my daughter's school too... until this week. Now two kids have had confirmed positive tests which has meant two separate year groups worth of children (including my daughter) are having to self-isolate until Boxing Day. She can't leave the house for 10 days because she potentially came into contact with the other child.
It's going to be f**king nightmare not even being able to take her outside for some fresh air and exercise for 10 whole days.
In terms of your child's school being closed... it's better to be preventative than to act after the fact, don't you think? All it takes is one positive test and it will effect you personally.

Primary. She's in reception.
Had a call from my Daughters school today. Girl in 1 of her classes positive.
Has to isolate until midnight this Saturday!!!!!!
10 days isn’t it? It’s everywhere at mo so was good to finish early.
10 days indoors with a 4/5 year old....oooph, that’s quite tough, at least you can still buy alcohol
Those who were using Sweden as an example to follow a few months ago seem to have gone quiet lately haven't they.

Yeah think so. Why its taken them so long to advise her and the rest in the class to isolate I dont know.
Love the way they’ve also waited until schools out for Christmas to announce they are having an extended holiday also.
When will you get vaccinated? Here's a calculator: https://www.omnicalculator.com/health/vaccine-queue-uk
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.
I have a birthday next month and if I put my present age in it states there will be about 20 million people in the queue ahead of me but if I input next month's age (which puts me in a different category) it knocks off around 10 million off that figure.
Not ideal for a seventeen-year-old, I grant you.
The calculator states there are at least 6m in front of me to be vaccinated by the end of February. By that time there won't be enough available vaccines unless the Oxford vaccine comes on stream.
I'm looking at july to september for my turn
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 .
It's time to play How Old Is TBG?
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

As exactly the same applies to me except my birthday is a month later, I can take what I would call an informed guess if it wasn't for the fact he was in the same year as me in Cantonian
I'm sixty five in February.
Meanwhile in South Dakota, home of the anti-maskers, where COVID is taking off bigtime:

The only difference with a normal Christmas is that this year, you see what kids do in the last week. It's always been the same. I used to go to the last day, but the last week had no lessons ever.
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,
So, the reluctance to wear masks in America is purely down to a feeling that personal freedoms are being infringed or is there more to it than that?
