DC are going to have to repeat a school year

[bigbananafeet12]

They finished school in March, there’s more chance teachers (and frightened parents) might be willing to get back into schools by next March. I know some dc are getting full school days on zoom, but for most their home learning is no substitute. Universities are planning on doing online learning for the first term too so loads will defer potentially causing problems for the current year 12.
You might say you’re dc are fine now but if things carry on like this in September, October, November and so on enthusiasm for home learning is going to decrease massively. It’s just unfair on dc. They need a chance to learn properly in the normal way. I honestly see no other satisfactory solution.

We used to have out of year pupils a lot more. My uncle and I went to university in England at age 17 as we were a year out at school. I changed schools at age 10 missed the last year at my old school and went into the first year of secondary (private) school aged 10 when everyone else was 11 so I graduated aged 20 etc. .It was fine - i was just a bit smaller than most girls in my class (and I still got the best A level exam results in the whole school!)
