Would you send your kids to school in June / July

If there is already a thread on this I will ask for it to be deleted.

Hypothetically if the government say schools can open in June / July and you can send them if you wish or you could wait until September would you send them?

Not taking into account any additional needs other siblings may have or your mental health or needing to work etc.

Thanks Appu I did chuckle reading this. Beyond a joke now.

What will be different in September @WanderingMilly?

Yes. If transmission rates are lower then the risk is lower. We have to learn how to live with the virus in our daily lives. We deal with risks daily though clearly a number of people cannot properly assess risk.

Anyone who wants to stay locked up till 2022 can do so. We can’t just halt indefinitely society, education and the economy despite what some people think. Furthermore there is no guarantee that there will even be a vaccine and what’ll people do then?

Yes, yes, yes.... if no one in the family needs to be shielded.
The risk is minimal, life is about risk, you are at risk everyday such as travelling in a car, crossing the road, etc.
People that thought austerity was bad have no idea what the financial implications will be if we do not get out of lockdown soon.

Yes. The risk to my children from this is negligible and home-school is not working well.

Yes - can't wait!

Yes, though as they close for summer at the end of June here I'm not sure if they'll bother opening before August.

Yes

No absolutely not until there was proper tracking and tracing.
Children will bring this home to adults and adults will die.
I am no so much concerned that dd would get it. I am concerned that she could be orphaned if I get it.

Absolutely yes I would.

Has anyone actually officially said that children are spreaders of the virus?

I thought the jury was still out on whether they are carriers.

Yes I will. September is far too long to have off.

birdlady 12 confirmed by who?

This was from the Guardian this morning

Yes I would
Nobody high risk in this house and still out working too so no different risk wise than kids being at school to adults being at work daily coming in and out of the house .

This was also in the guardian. The answer is they don't yet know if children spread or not.

Although I it reasonable to assume they do until proved otherwise.

Yes.

@OnTheMoors the education minister

Yes. But I don't think they will.

I’d worry as we live with my elder dM. Kids are people and, as such, spread germs. That’s loads of people in a confined space.

However, they’ve got to go back to school at some point... who knows.

Yes. None of us are high risk and I cannot work while DS is off, my job is physically impossible to do from home.

@Appuskidu where did I ask when schools will go back?

I’m very much conflicted. Three in school and one of them is vulnerable. If they all had no health issues, the answer would be yes.

How old are your kids op and what's your thoughts?

Do you have a link?

Because yesterday Macron was saying that there would be no physical lessons till the summer.
