So the new guidance only mentions brief contact with teachers y10 and 12 - all other years aren't expected to be back in at all before September? I don't get why primaries are expected to manage (how is a mystery) and secondaries, which are larger and have pupils who at least in theory can understand social distancing, aren't? Secondary schools are doing work that's meant to be crucial for exams, and what's being sent home seems to be largely consolidation or make-work - there's no actual learning happening without teacher contact. What's the rationale for allowing y9s , who mostly have started GCSE work, to miss nearly half the school year? And are we expected to leave 11 and 12 year olds at home effectively til September while we go back to work? (all gratitude to the teachers who are doing all they can)
