Golden you forget one simple thing. Seems everyone can dip in and out of any existing legalities when it suits them. We all know normally education would be told to fuck right off at the mere suggestion of having the teacher popping up on their screen at home. If I remember one of the most frequently trotted out lines - oh no, not having that in my home, too fucking invasive, who do teachers think they are, allowed to spy in our homes. (Search this forum alone if people think I made this up). Along with - oh no someone needs to think about all the research done is in this and all the negative impacts. More teaching bashing.
And I'm not even going to mention those batshit enough to start creating none existing laws to the point of chuck the bastard in jail.
Most teachers belong in jail simply for having to break the social distancing and lockdown advice. And how pathetic to start with oh well we don't need teachers in school, oh but yea I suppose we do as someone has to look after the other poor fucking teachers children so they can still do the primary parental job. No, but hang on how comes they cannot teach their own, look after their own and parent other peoples kids when they lazy assed parent is sitting there in their home using technology they could use to help their child learn new things.
But yea blame lies with the teachers. Not the parents for not doing their job. Not the Secretary of Education closed the schools down fault either. So much easier to blame everyone else other than look at the point of origin.
People really need to get clued up on a few legalities. They will be in for a huge wake up call.
Oh, and teachers, you should not be using your own mobiles to contact students. Although many schools overlook this for an assortment of legit safe reason, read up on E-safety and other policies in relation to use of equipment, services, software etc.
Not sure if this is available to parents, would be a good idea to read all those policies and documents on the school site available. Then of course if you don't trust the lazy bastard teachers, you can also look on official government sites. This hopefully should give you some idea about what issues schools face.
And remember it wasn't that long ago the government wanted to ban children's access to online porn. Notice how it dropped? Also, notice for years, teachers and ta's have been raising these concerns and more only to be met with a wall of silence. If you really want to support your child's education when they are telling you no. They aren't doing it out of laziness.
