To be sick of not knowing when my DC are returning to school?

[Cheeseboardandmincepies]

Once again, with 6 hours notice my children are off school indefinitely with no idea of when they’ll be back. I’m worried it’s going to be like last year when they were off till September and just basically forgotten about.
AIBU for being pissed off that my DC school is shut and Boris Johnson hasn’t even addressed the unions concerns and is still brushing it all under the carpet?

YANBU according to the other 34531 posts about this.

Yes i totally agree. Right now I have absolutely no faith they will return before September.

Last year was an absolute joke...there was no reason imo that they couldn't have returned to school in May/June when the infection rate was low.

Oh and yesterday didn't Boris say children should attend school? Yes I'd love to send my kids but it's not open ffs

Who shut the school? The government? Or the school ?

The school have closed from instructions from the council due to the union asking school staff not to return to school.
Yes @formerbabe that’s what I’m concerned about too. They could of easily gone back last year but was left and forgotten about, is this going to be the case again? Why can’t they change the summer holidays to now and make them do 6 weeks in July/August as catch up? Surely this could of been dicussed and dealt with already and they knew this was coming but simply didn’t give a shit. Or even vaccinate the teachers over the holidays? None of this makes any sense.

Didn't think Boris closed primary schools, thought it was down to the school or council.
But blame Boris anyway......

Yes blame Boris because if he’d actually done his job and made a firm decision last week then schools and councils wouldn’t have all had to make their own decision at short notice.
It’s all very well bleating that he wants more data, but the week it takes to get that

The week it takes to get more data will have a massive impact on infection rates if schools go back and pupils are mixing again, which is avoidable if he’d acted earlier

Of course we should blame Boris! This is a fucking shambles

Yes, the government, unions and schools should have made a decision earlier.
As has been said on hundreds of other threads this week.

Blame Boris if you wish, but isn't this technically on Gav?

It's an absolute joke. Our school told us last night at 6pm that the children would not be going back (due back today). I'm not sure where we are going with it-there needs to be some clarity and consistency.

Unfair to blame boris when it’s the local council / school.
The government will shut when the data is in. If they shut without the data they would be under fire for shutting down education without reason.
It’s a no win situation.
