this is a question about a Reception age child in school.
This is NOT a teacher baahing post and I do not want it to turn it into one. I admire and respect my kids teachers and all the staff at their school who go above and beyond. If that does happen I will ask to delete and if I am not online at the time please can people report and #MNHQ please delete.
My DS can return to school possibly from 1st June.
We now have some details from the school about how this will happen. Obviously like every other school it will be a different experience to what he's used to.
I am happy with the approach the school is taking and I do think my child will be as safe as possible. School is going beyond what the government recommend (in positive ways).
So my main concern is how my child will react to the new environment.
Do you think the same guidelines will still be in place in Sept? (Although even I can't see how that works with everyone.)
It's fair to say I'm conflicted. I could keep child home until September and he would not suffer educationally. He has an older sibling so he is not alone.
But if the school environment is the same in September, I wonder if sending him in June will be better for him? Give him the chance to get used to it before there are lots more children back.
As said above, I don't want this to about the rights/ wrongs of schools reopening. I am just trying to understand if we think the school environment will be significantly different in Setpember to now?
If schools would reopen in Sept as normal (how they were in March) then I would not hesitate and keep him off.
