You happy with the corruption that's gone on costing the tax payer billions and the fact that the government are currently spending tax payers money trying to defend it in court?

If the answers yes what is it about that posh accent that makes you such a forelock tugging embarrassment?

Good to see you’ve decided to get the Daily Mail Bingo out again... you must be getting close to a full house by now.

They have done well rolling out the vaccine so far - amazing what happens when you allow an organisation that was created by the arms of socialism to do it, rather than a dog-shit private corporation ripping off the tax payers money.

What we don’t need now is the knob heads at the CRG fucking up the last bit because they’ve got a hard-on for ‘freedom’

Exactly the reason it is working so far is the actual roll out has been under the control of the GPs etc and not Westminster

Probably why the government are wanting to take more control of the NHS... can’t have them and their cronies shown up by the people on the ground.

So I have a development...

Last 3 days I've felt tired, silly tired where you are fighting with your eyes... Felt a bit shit too but I put it down to working 3 12 hour shifts in a row which I don't normally do.

Today I wake up, feel like something is different, put 3 coffee beans on my tongue and suck... Nothing.

Think I need a test tbh, have already phoned in work and said il be back when results are in

Get well soon Evo, sounds like my symptoms at the start of the year, unbelievably tired with loss of smell/taste. Frustratingly, I still can’t smell or taste properly.

Wow....are some people honestly suggesting keeping schools closed until September....you can fuck right off.....clearly got no kids and a cushy WFH desk jockey job.

.....meanwhile in the real world school closures continue to cause massive harm and societal division.

Socially it'd be fucking awful for mine. My 8 year old son speaks to his friends on PSN so at least he's in touch with pals. My 6 year old daughter though is missing out massively on what should be the golden period for social development and just simply having some fun with friends. It's tragic for the youth this.

The problem is surely comparing an ideal school experience (nobody is against that!) with the massive sticking plaster exercise we have.

Better to actually plan and fund a system that helps address imbalances, and accelerates a path back to a normal experience, than an attempt to send schoolchildren back quicker than maybe wise... which can then extend those imbalances.

In the real world COVID is causing massive harm, societal division and deaths not seen for generations. Let’s sort that out so we don’t ever have to close schools again.

I hate remote teaching more than most...also hate ‘teaching’ from a box and not being able to meaningfully help anyone. Bring them back in a scenario where even they have to stay in boxes and what really is the benefit of doing that educationally or socially?

Primary schools should be going back first at any rate. But secondary really needs holding off for just a bit longer.

Send Primary back on the 8th, they’re the ones really missing face to face instruction and friendships.

Secondary need less supervision at home, and are more likely to be able to access school and social circles online.

Plus they only need one teacher before them for the day rather than 5 or 6

Smaller schools as well and less mixing outside of school means smaller outbreaks.

It makes no sense at all to treat Primary and Secondary exactly the same. Two completely different beasts.

The whole debate about schools is so disingenuous

Everyone wants schools to be fully open and safe for all. That’s the bottom line.

It’s not the government that want them open and safe and the teaching unions don’t.

So once that’s understood we can then talk to the various experts and leaders to decide how we do this. The governments mantra that the teaching profession are work shy gobshites is just nonsense and needs to be called out for what it is - nonsense!

So if we all accept that everyone, parents, children, government, teachers all want schools to reopen fully and safely we can move on and stop scoring points at one or other groups expense

So it’s absolutely essential for opening fully and safely to consider the following

Infections and r number
Nhs capacity
Vaccinations for school teachers

It also seems sensible to try primary initially and notice the difference to infections and r number. Maybe even trial in different areas

I still can’t believe that we haven’t opened other buildings to support learning with more space like in other countries like Germany

As always follow the science and learn from previous errors. Make a considered plan, stick to it and communicate well why things change if they need to

SAGE wanting a 3 week gap between each relaxation, which would see the rest of this term used as a ‘trial’ of primary school reopening. You’d then be in a position to reopen secondary for exam groups at least in the summer term. All the while we plough through the vaccination programme as a counterbalance and by June/July could have them all in potentially under normal circumstances. Here’s hoping

How many kids are in school anyway under the essential worker rules? There's people where I work who are working from home but have their kids in school as their partners are eligible.

Have also noticed its gone quiet at work this week and then realised its half term so seems there's enough kids in that its noticeable when its the holidays which hasn't been the case previously.

This is a sensible idea. In terms of secondary alone, they should begin with exam year groups only (maybe Y7 too as it would help them and parents too) get them sorted for whatever they need for results and then send Y11 and Y13 them on their way. Then you phase in the remaining years, building up slowly and sensibly - with everyone else back in school at some point in the last half term. Teachers not on exam groups creates capacity across the school that could be utilised.

We have 120 in a school of 1300. It’s less than 10% but I hear the proportion in Primary is significantly higher.

Don’t know to be honest, I do think schools will look at letting them go, as it frees up capacity for things like transition (even if it is virtual) and next year planning.
