Okay so we have been back to school for a week! Great? No. Definitely not. Some thoughts on why this will be a disaster:
16 and 17 year olds are not children.
Social distancing is impossible. Genuinely impossible. Children will not or cannot stay out your space.
There is no PPE in school at all and staff are not protected in any way.
Children don't give a shit about washing their hands.
We've been doing double periods instead of single to minimise movement. This means that we are stuck in a room with 30 17 year olds with few or no windows as the respiratory droplets add up.
Educating your child is impossible if you can't go near them.
Our time management and pupil progress relies on us being able to give feedback to children formatively as we teach. To mark jotters as we go. We can't do this now.
I think that because infection is so low we'll be okay for a while - a few weeks - then the shit will hit the fan.
