AIBU?

Would you send your dc back to school in September if there was no social distancing?

I worry about how much longer dc are going to be expected to learn at home considering a lot of them aren't. However, if they're going to have to socially distance I can't really see a way forward.
YABU = No I wouldn't send them without social distancing
YANBU = Yes I would

Entirely depends on the infection rate in September.

Yes, I would actually prefer no social distancing than the current set up.

I’m sending mine back this week and don’t care whether they social distance or not.

Absolutely. I would prefer there to be no social distancing between the children.

No. It's highly unlikely there wi be no transmission in communities by September.

The thought of my young DC's being made to social distance from their friends worries me far more.

My son has attended throughout. His needs mean social distancing is impossible. He literally licks others etc. I have had zero worries about him attending. It's incredibly
rare for children to have serious complications from it as we know from ONS etc

Yes and they should all just go back now!

The social distancing is the keeping groups from mixing etc. So the bubbles. I thought that was going to be maintained, albeit with larger bubbles.

I hope they will not be required to adhere to physical distancing of 2m, and in fact doubt it's effectiveness in a bubble who are in the same room all day every day.

Yes, 100%.

TBH I wish they weren't attempting to get reception and Y1 children to socially distance now, I think it's neither desirable nor achievable.

DS is high risk so no, not unless infection rates are drastically lower than they are now. We are lucky though as we’re in a position to continue homeschooling for a bit longer if necessary (not ideal but possible!)

Yes! The amount of teenagers out today in groups with zero social distancing. At least if they were all in school it would be far more controlled. Am a teacher and have no issue going back with no social distancing.

Mine are already back (have been all along, I'm a key worker). I was so concerned they'd be made to socially distance but they haven't so I'm happy.
