Equally they are not just a crèche
As much as I'd love to live in a world where schools were just about education....In the real world, schools offer many kids a safehaven, somewhere warm, somewhere where they can get some food, somewhere they're not scared, somewhere where they receive some attention, some friendship & dare I say, even some love.....so I'd say it certainly does not negate any argument to keep schools open.
In England the first person to get the jab is an Elderly lady
In Wales it's care home workers
In Northern Ireland the person in charge of their roll out gets it firstfair fucks to her
Just when you thought Mancock couldn't make himself look anymore of a twat.
During that 5 week period we had 650 out of 1200 kids out for a minimum of 2 weeks.So.....5 weeks since schools went back after HT and infection rates still dropping in most parts of the country......with notable exceptions where high level of household & social mixing occuring.....
....some of us said its not all about the schools & they were right to keep them open!
Hopefully, as a belt & braces approach, they'll coordinate the inevitable 3rd national lockdown to roll into the February HT.

GCSE’s are fucked for this year. You can make up the time with the other years but for Y11 and to a lesser extent Y13 (as they tend to be more independent and also less subjects) it’s too late. The measure already suggested by the DfE are a start but don’t go far enough.Lockdown was really just doing what they experts had been saying all summer. If you want to open up schools something else has to close to offset it. So we kept schools open but closed bars, restaurants etc.
One for the teachers on here. With the huge numbers of students and staff off, and with some schools seeing who year groups sent home or even schools shut completely are kids actually getting their full education or is there going to need to be a lot of going back over things when we're back to normal?

Not even got the foresight to close schools on the 11th, make the last week remote learning and self-isolation to take the kick out of the infection spread before it’s open house on the 23rd.....So what we’re saying is: keep schools open, but don’t let kids go to them. Best of both worlds.
Imagine that - some actual decisive decision making.Speaking of schools looks like no exams this school year in Scotland.
Higher exams to be cancelled for Scottish pupils
The country's education secretary says the decision was based on the disruption Covid has caused for many pupils.www.bbc.co.uk

Good.I know I veer dangerously close to the anti-vaccer loons but... I'll be ecstatic only when other countries start approving them, as well.Oxford vaccine given the go ahead - we're on our way back to normality!!!
Giving it to the elderly first I see. So if side effects and many die theyll say due to old age ! Very suspicious personally as it has come too quick.Oxford vaccine given the go ahead - we're on our way back to normality!!!

My personal favourite was Jim from Tile Hill who said ‘Biden doesn’t represent me’Every local paper does it. Half of th world had a “surprising connection to the new President” when Biden won.
Just seen him on the news. All's Well That Ends Well.Ha! Just had William Shakespeare, the William Shakespeare (the vaccine guy) suggested as a FB friend. Turns out he knows my parents.
My Mums happy because she’s always had to go “not THE William Shakespeare” when talking about him, but now he is THE William Shakespeare
Yup. Iknow it's hard but... I'd rather be thorough than first. There's no reason we can't be thorough *and* first but, given it's Boris Johnson in charge...! I just want that final final reassurance that some half-sane country feels like approving things, too!didn't realise until today the Chinese had given a million people a vaccine that had skipped key stages of the testing process.

Panic here as they are saying no alcohol for 2 months if you get the Russian vaccine. With the alcohol consumption issues here good luck with that.
