crissy I was a teacher and several of my nieces are teachers, and yes I would want schools open. My niece, who is a teacher and who I spoke to this morning, agrees. We cannot continue to discriminate against our children’s right for education in favour of older people. What about children who live in a high rise flat in a single parent family, with no computer to help them learn, no social contact, and their emotional needs not met? And with no car so they are restricted to the city centre unable to visit the coast or countryside for exercise! I worked in an area where children lived like that, but they had a stimulating and safe environment every day, their school!
And crissy before you jump down my throat again, my daughter is a doctor who worked all through the last lockdown, at the beginning with insufficient PPE. Her husband is also a doctor who does additional shifts at the Covid Hub. Last time I was beside myself with worry, as many regular posters on here well know. I was afraid that their six year old twins and little three year old would still have two parents at the end of it all. Working in a school is a piece of cake compared with that, so I suggest you think a bit more carefully before you post next time.
