I’ve been staying with my daughter and family for a few days. The grandchildren returned to school on Thursday. Thousands of pounds have been spent on segregating the children into year bubbles. Lunch, playtime and outdoor activities have been changed. Parents are kept away from drop off points.
Then on collections of my 6 and 10 year olds, everyone heads to the nearby play park. All the children of all ages mingle and play together on the equipment and parents sit around in huddles chatting. Tomorrow they will all go back into school.
Surely this scenario was envisaged. Why has all this money been wasted. Surely it could be better used to provide more teaching staff.
I can't believe my car insurance has risen by that much!
