[Brighton] All Brighton & Hove primary schools to switch to online learning from Monday ?

[Black Hill]

Emergency Council meeting this afternoon determined schools to remain closed for at least 2 weeks.

Would be great for all those parents with multiple children with one device to access online learning.

That'll come in handy for the OP.

Government should have made this decision days ago. Having lockdown, people isolating - and at the same time having all the kids going to school/college/uni always was a recipe for disaster.

Totally agree. Education generally did an excellent job last term but this new variant required time to rethink how to run things differently and safely alongside the rollout of the test kits in education and before the vaccine is more established in hopefully a few months time.

Plenty of notice then...how do working parents cope without any reasonable notice

Wonder if east Sussex where if anything cases are rising quicker will follow suit

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Considering the facts that the groups with the largest infection rates at the moment are apparently Secondary School children and Primary School children, and that SAGE advised that schools should not be reopened at the start of term with infection rates through the roof, this was inevitable.

This incompetent government should quite clearly have made this decision, not the Unions and the Council.

As a teacher, I am enormously relieved that I will not immediately be exposed to potential danger.

Blame the government for that, not the council.

Thats not the true picture, all the schools will all still have to remain open as they did all through the original lock-down for vulnerable and key worker children, So all the school staff will still be working throughout. My wife is a school worker and and been in school throughout as she will be this week. Its only the majority of the children that won't be attending.
The point i;m making the schools will not be closed, they never have closed.

It's a good job the supermarket workers, bus drivers, train drivers, doctors, nurses and food delivery drivers dont have the same attitude as you. Go to work (unless in a vulnerable group).

Williamson could throw an injunction in, he has done that before. If he does not, I can see most tier 4 Councils following suit tomorrow.

I have been going to work throughout lockdown. I spend my working day in close contact with 32 children and two support staff, in a room where social distancing is impossible. It is not safe, it has never been safe, and with this new strain it is a catastrophe waiting to happen.

'Go to Work'? All the scientific advice is saying that if schools open as the government had planned, the NHS will be overwhelmed. The virus will spread like wildfire. Doctors and nurses have been some of the strongest voices against schools reopening. Don't believe that you speak for them.

We will still be working long hours, providing online learning and being constantly in touch with the children.

You clearly haven't got a clue, and you seem to have swallowed The Daily Express whole.

Get back in your barrel and close the lid.
