To just be fed up of the continual speculation

[FreddieFlintstone]

Two days ago it was reported that year 5 would go back first once lockdown was eased, so that SAT standards in schools wouldn't fall. On the same day I read that the government was considering getting rid of social distancing in schools to enable all pupils to go back. Yesterday I read on here that schools would be going back at the beginning of June on a part time basis. Now it just came up on my Facebook feed that year 6 pupils will be going back at the beginning of June.

AIBU for being fed up of the continued speculation? I'm sure it can't be helping people who are anxious about social distancing or are vulnerable already. What I would like to happen is for the media to stop reporting crap until plans have actually been confirmed by the government.

@FreddieFlintstone I agree- I think the government are deliberately leaking different ideas to the press though, to try and gauge public opinion.

But the constant speculation about everything isn't helpful and is definitely stressful for people. I know my students find the constant media reporting on different things confusing!

You might be right about the leaks and what you're saying makes sense.

I'm with you OP. All sorts going around. Why can't the media, newspaper, social media etc should have the sense to wait for the actual facts
