So apparently the teaching unions think marking should not take place due to "health and safety". Surely this is straying into the territory of unhelpful disruption rather than constructive engagement with the government's wish to help kids.
There are so many work arounds to do it safely. Wait 48hrs to mark, wear gloves, wash hands etc
Given they are arguing this I can't help but think the unions are simply being unreasonable and not actually taking a balanced view.
