We don’t know their reasons for this decision.
People getting told they are lazy etc. Calling names because they don’t want to wfh and look after the children.
Companies want their staff actually working not staying with their children all day long. They either follow work rules or don’t get paid.
He may have underlying health conditions.
It’s not just key workers schools are open for. Vulnerable children as well.
And fuck me at the suggestion of night staff working all night then supposed to go home and watch the child all day. Fuck that. When are they supposed to sleep.
I also suppose the single parent who has now been forced onto UC because hours have been reduced are also stupid, feckless, idiots etc because it’s either send them to school or not get any money.
Must be so nice to live in a world where you only know people who aren’t in the at risk group, so they can look after your children. Must be nice that no one needs a job to earn the money to pay for stuff.
I used to work in education. Once I’m free of CV I will be letting my old schools and lea’s know if needed I’m available. Just like nhs there will be others like me who will do this.
We cannot sit at home on our asses. We need to do what we can to help the country still run. Schools have a care of duty, and many staff are happy to still go in, despite the risk because they know what live will be like for the vulnerable.
Others are scared and have to work because it’s still term time. They can refuse of course to go. The school will refuse to pay them.
Oh but the other parent can watch them. This is assuming the other adult is healthy. I would be fucked if my helpful teen was a lot younger. On a good day I don’t have the energy or strength to get through the day without needing to sleep.
