Why do teachers still have jobs?

So my husband has just lost his job from next week. He's a coach driver. My best mate has lost her job from this week, she used to work in a cinema. I have many friends now out of work and desperately trying to get jobs in supermarkets.

However teachers will not be working now for many months, so how come they're not being made redundant?

I'm not being goady I genuinely want to know. I'm glad they are still being paid, I'd hate for them to be in our position. But why?

Are other jobs "safe" like this too?

Thanks for the reports about this thread. We can see that the wording of the OP has upset a fair few folk - which is the last thing any of us want at this very worrying and uncertain time. That said, we're pretty sure that that the OP didn't intend any offence - we're all in uncharted waters here.

As there are so many valuable posts explaining why and how many teachers will continue to work over the coming weeks, we're going to leave the thread standing as we think it's important.

But please be mindful of our Talk Guidelines when posting and consider that we're all in need of some extra kindness and support right now.

Peace and love. Flowers
