I’m sure there is plenty to do in schools, so much so in fact that three weeks probably isn’t enough time according to our education secretary? Everything they use needs cleaning for a start, rotation systems worked out, mobile sinks for washing hands brought in and set up with a rota system like in Denmark.
Don’t get me wrong we have a very good relationship with all the teachers at my kids school, my wife runs the PTA, they are all really good teachers. Knowing this I’m sure they are well keen to get back asap. It’s those above, as ever being all political causing the issues in 1980’s Wales.
Next we will here there isn’t enough time to do all that needs doing and they can’t do all this over the summer as they need there holidays to, which is ironic as they’ve been doing nowt mainly for the last 8 weeks.....
Getting quite used to having them home now, maybe I’ll home school them from now on
So... You want teachers in the schools to start cleaning? The other things you've said doesn't require them to be there.

You've mentioned "Denmark" and how Wales would never look to do anything like they have done. Did you notice that the framework said " In addition, we are considering international evidence around learning and child health and well-being. We are drawing on a range of international examples of response to disruptions to learning. For example, we are considering practice in Denmark around the use of other buildings to increase capacity; regular handwashing and cleaning; staggering arrivals and departures; and use of floor markings. "

I'm sure you'll now congratulate them on this way of thinking.

Goats, I just don't understand what your point is. It sounds like you just think something/anything should be happening to get the kids back in school asap. It is happening, you just can't see it with your own eyes which seems to be annoying you for some reason.

Do you want your child going back even if it's unsafe, just because you think teachers have been "doing nowt"? You said that you didn't ask the teacher in question if she has had to do any work from home. I know secondary school teachers are busy (the ones I know are as busy as ever at the moment) and my friends with kids of primary school age are having work set for them at the moment too... So I assume the teachers are setting it and not Denmark.

What is it that you want to happen? You just sound pissed off that the teacher you spoke to isn't moonlighting as a cleaner in your child's school.
