Is the world and their dog key workers!!!

[anxiouscrazymum]

So I am not a key worker, I work 3 days a week and have 2 KS1 children.
I am having to adapt my hours around my children's school work and will just have to run myself ragged over the next few months like many others!
AIBU to think that some parents are taking the P@@s and using Key worker benefits to be bloody lazy.
Why are the allowed to send children 5 days if they only work 2/3?
Why are they allowed to send in if their partner is furloughed or working from home?
Why are they allowed to send children in of the just work weekends in a supermarket normally?
We have 14 out of 30 children in my DS class at school, they have the class teacher with them and also have each other.
I feel my children are being penalised and will miss out on school and social interaction all because I am not a key worker:
If there were less children in, the teacher would be able to undertake zoom classes and online interactions. Because of the number of children in we just get set daily tasks!
Sorry for my rant AIBU x

Uzaj in answer to your question. We are at 80% because we have a lot of families with one key worker. We are near a hospital and have many children whose mum or dad are doctors , we also have 3 care homes nearby.
We expected a lot of key worker children but we are finding that everyone is sending their children in full time even when they have a SAHM , au pair or other family members at home . Most of our key worker parents who work in the local care homes work part time in the evenings but send children in full time. Then on top of that we have the various classification of key workers from B&M , Wilco , B&Q , Costa etc etc . Surprisingly people in supermarkets haven’t sent their children in . Too many people have been able to claim key worker status . We will never get rid of this virus if key worker criteria are not tightened up .

I agree with you that the criteria needs to be tightened

I'm in Scotland and you can only get a place if you are a single parent or both parents are key workers. I think that's the best approach
