Can we just stop with the school/teacher bashing

[TheWristBoundLatexBitch]

The teachers needed in most schools to do the "bubbles" is at least double what they already have. If it's a two form year, you may need 4 bubbles, so double teachers. Oh and then there is the class rooms!

How do you think schools will magically make this happen???

Some schools are staying shut except key worker children as that's all they can take.

Some schools will take one or two year groups, because they can.

Some schools (not many I'm guessing) will take all that they can back).

If your child goes back they will not be with friends, in their own class or with their teacher. This is childcare because the government said they need to open.

Let's stop bashing schools and teachers, and moaning because your child has a T.A. I'm not even a teacher nor do I work in a school, but I realise the difficulties the schools are facing.

My parents will be delighted that I must be middle class.

My primary aged child is having nothing like that set and nothing marked at all.

Primary schools tend to be a lot smaller than Secondaries, with fewer teachers. Therefore, Primary teachers have been going in to school more than their Secondary counterparts (who have more staff to work a rota) which takes up just as much time as marking, for example.
Swings and roundabouts.
Upshot is, so many employees, not just teachers have tasks that are invisible to the outside. I don’t understand why teachers are required to list/justify all of theirs.

Well, you know, the teacher bashing is, ultimately, a distraction.

Teacher's might be copping flak at the moment but ... it's unravelling.

The lockdown is almost certainly happening too soon.

More deaths, a second lockdown ... all the teacher-bashing in the world isn't going to save Johnson.
