Sorry it’s a bit of a rant. The vast majority of children are barred from returning to school regardless of whether they want to go or not. All this “year 10 are returning this week” - what, for half an hour on a Tuesday? Brilliant. That’s not “returning” by any means is it.
I’m also finding that adults who are not involved with the education system believe that most children have the option to go back, it’s the parents fears that are stopping them doing so. Doesn’t help at the briefings when the MP keeps “reassuring parents that it’s safe”, as if the option is there and it’s our fault for being too scared to take it up.
The press should be clearer “a few children have the option to go back but most are banned from returning” would be much more accurate.
To be clear, this is not teacher bashing, it’s a gripe against the government and press message.
Anyone else find this gets their goat?
