If you are a SAHM will you send your DCs back on 1 June?

Just that really, DC1 is in the year group that is supposed to be returning to school in June.

I am currently a SAHM as I was job hunting just before the lock down and that is all on hold. I am also a qualified primary school teacher...

I have been given 24 hours to decide if I will be sending DC1 into school. In lots of ways we are ok to carry on at home. I am here with a younger DC in any case and we have been home schooling fairly successfully.

DC1 can be anxious and has struggled with social distancing etc. I am concerned that they will find all the new set up hard to manage. I am not really worried about the risk to us of catching it - but am aware the teachers are being put in a difficult position.

BUT... DC1 struggles socially and was just making progress before the lockdown. They are desperate to be back with their friends and I dont want them to be pushed out by not being there.

WWYD?

My Y6 son will be going back. This is not doing anyone any good and he needs some type of normality back and to finish his school properly. I have thought tho if I’m not happy once he goes back I will pull him out. The virus is not my concern more mentally I want him back.more gutted my dd won’t be able to go back she really needs it.
