Useful to know after 9 weeks of lockdown that actually if you had childcare difficulties you could just drive round to your parents’ house.

 

 

What would you regarding childcare if you tested positive, knowing the possible implications? Left the child on its own or found help?

I wish you were my daughter's teacher, she's 13 and we've really struggled to get any work for her from the school. Mind you her Home Ec teacher is pretty good,, he's made videos for them to follow. It's just a shame it's meant we've needed to go shopping more often than we would have! 

Glad I'm not the only one Deb. Thought I was going mad.

Can't comment on secondary to be fair, not my area.

 

But I know my school (and my partners, who is also a teacher at a different school) have been setting learning packs each week for the children to follow.

My school have an app that we log into and presumably view the work.

Only trouble is, the login details I’ve been given do not work and despite several emails ‘IT’ have not helped.

Has a Prime Minister ever stood in front of the nation and lost such credibility in one go?

 

He’s screwed up from start to finish and if you can’t see that then you never will and are most likely letting political allegiance cloud your judgement. Johnson needs to go now - genuinely don’t think anyone could do a worse job even stepping in mid-pandemic.

Really?

I’d have looked after the child if I wasn’t at death’s door. Just like I am imagining hundreds of people all over the country would do.

 

If I was in bed, my wife would have looked after him. If we were both incapacitated we would have got a relative to help.

 

Were both Cummings and his wife incapacitated? Obviously not given that Cummings managed to drive 250 miles to Durham. If he was so ill he couldn’t look after his son he was in no condition to be driving 250 miles to Durham.

 

If Cummings’ son has a condition that we don’t know about that’s different. But in that situation I don’t see how driving 4 hours in the car with at least one Ill person is the smart thing to do.

Is sticking a kid in a small metal box for 6 hours with one, if not two symptomatic adults consistent with best scientific advice ?

Our 13yo has been inundated with work throughout! We have a homework app that the work gets sent through. I mean it’s ridiculous, some of the work has been coming through after midnight at times!!

You cannot be so reactive! If you are fine on day #1 and days 2, 3 and 4, you feel yourself getting worse and worse. Should you wait until you are fully incapacitated, unable to seek help. Maybe it’s a lie and he deserves all he gets, But on the off chance it’s true, you certainly cannot afford to “wait and see” I would argue.

Where does your relative live?

Good point, so what’s your suggestion?

Share it between them? 😉 I'm guessing not at SWHS?

Absolutely irrelevant. The guidance is clear. Isolate if you’re ill.

Get the relative to pick the kid up rather than take it yourself if if is a real possibility that the child cannot be cared for at home

Someone will have to educate me. If his influence with Brexit is so great and so required, why are prominent Leavers calling for him to go?

 

I didn't want to go into this but I've read a lot that he's crucial to all this yet can't understand why vocal Leavers don't want him involved.

No ours are at WA. The app name has recently changed, but it used to be called Show My Homework. It’s pretty good actually. I’m surprised SW don’t have something similar.

Stays with you, obviously. We’re just about to send millions of children back to school, it’s clear that the government doesn’t think this is going to be a big issue for kids. What has everybody else in the country been doing when they get ill, popping round their folks’?

 

I cannot understand this. He broke the guidelines. Call it a sacking offence, don’t call it a sacking offence, I don’t care. But pretending this is all fine because of a series of hypotheticals which never came to pass is preposterous.

The thing about the Barnard castle walk is that it was after the 14 day isolation was up and driving thirty miles for a walk was not encouraged but it also wasn’t a crime.  The reported second journey to Durham around the 19th would be a larger issue
