AIBU to not know what to do regarding daughters 1-1 and Covid.

[No91]

This might be long so I apologise.

DD is vulnerable, she hasn’t been back at school
However she does have a 1-1 which is fully funded by council not partially funded via school but completely by council.
Currently up to now her 1-1 has been on classroom at the school from 9 am to 1.30 ( small classroom 30 kids and 3 other adults ) She then comes to our house from 2-3:30 to reach my daughter.
Would I be unreasonable to now ask the school either she comes to mine from 9 am - 3.30 or if just afternoons not to be in the classroom at all.
Remember she is not a school employee and is not funding via the school but directly via council as my daughters 1-1.

If your dd is having a 1-1 ta they can't be expected to plan and prepare lessons. The teacher would need to do that. Unless the ta is experienced and worked in same key stage before they would not be expected to know the specification for lots of different subjects. Presumably the ta is going into school to ask the teacher what she is to pass on to your dd. You could ask her to have temperature taken before she enters your house and to wash her hands before going into see your dd if she is vulnerable. I have bought a thermometer you point at head and don't let my own adult children in unless normal temperature. My dh is immunosuppressed and asthmatic so we have to be extra careful.

You have a very unusual situation here that I, as a teacher and senco, have never seen. You need to ring the LA and speak directly to them about what should be happening.

I would have thought she should be coming to home and not going to school to minimise her exposure in the school..

Hours less of an issue maybe a couple a day/half day and she has rest of time as breaks and planning...
If your dc is going to be off school over the winter thus needs to be sorted...however most tuition is being done online could ur do manage that?

@averythinline no she won’t do zoom at all we attempted over lock down.
Suppose I could make sure they are 2 metered apart in the house. I will ring school on Monday 🙈

I wouldn't be able to be 2m apart from my 1-1, as she's very fast and would be off!

That sounds more like childminding than teaching to me, as it would be very hard to keep apart like that. Only you know if that would work for your child though 😊

Who won,t do zoom your child or her 1-1. Can,t 1-1 go in 1 day o school to discuss plans with teacher and then other 4 days come to yours? DEf discuss with your 1-1.

Are you in a high-risk area, OP?

Now we are going into lockdown, the risk should actually start to decrease rather than increase.

It feels more risky because of the lockdown, but the point of the lockdown is to reduce risk to people like your DD.

On the other hand, I don’t think it would be unreasonable to get reassurance about your 1-1 getting the curriculum and teaching stuff differently to being in classroom.

I suspect it’s been an arrangement that suited both the 1-1 and the school for various reasons, but if you’re anxious there’s no harm in seeking reassurance or adaptations if everyone can get what they need at the same time as keeping your DD safe.
