Schools should close to save our economy, jobs and for our kids future as they will have to pay back all the debt in the future out of their taxes

[947EliseChalotte]

Aibu to think schools should not open in September as we don't know the long term/ future health problems from covid kids may suffer in the long term. pubs should stay open to save jobs, economy, and people's houses the kids in the future would only have to pay back in the future for generations taxes if we close pubs and get the country in more debt. Education kids can be homeschooled. For our kids futures ( health reasons and their future economy/ countried debts they will be left to sort out / pay back .schools should stay shut in sept and keep pubs open.

Thanks for the laugh! Don’t you get it, if we don’t educate the kids today, there will be nothing tomorrow. Doctors, nurses, teachers, managers, economists, retail staff, etc etc all NEED an education

Noone needs pubs, yes it’s sad if they close, yes there will be more unemployment in the short term, but if we don’t educate the children now, there will be massive unemployment in the future

Hmm, how do people who work out of the home homeschool? Vast swathes of jobs can’t be done at home.

Your previous threads are very contradictory. Are you being goady or are you a (terrible) journalist?

We need schools to open, but we need them to open safely, or else they will just have to close them again in six weeks time.

The problem we have is the government want schools to open to free parents so they can return to work. They aren't interested in the kids.

If the schools were opened two days on, three days off, with a day for drop in, then work could be set and done at home, and we would reduce the chances of infection.

But the government won't do this.

@SueEllenMishke I understand completely. I just feel for spinsters who put time and effort into a thoughtful post on a thread Dt eyes by someone possibly enjoying winding people up!

Dt eyes?! I meant 'started by'.

Yeah, make all the women unemployed and penniless OP, that's always accompanied successful economies (and child outcomes) around the world, hasn't it?

No doubt the NHS, police force, supermarkets, trades, banking sector, emergency and critical services can afford to immediately lose a large chunk of their educated, skilled and fully trained workforce, yes?

Nah, it'll be grand.

But the government won't do this.

Because it can’t be facilitated by working parents.

OP, I definitely think that ‘pub school’ is an option worth exploring. We need to think outside the box people!

Surely saving the economy means definitely opening schools?

The goverment has said it's likely pubs will have to close if schools open. Id love and all for having our freedom and normality back by treating covid as flu. But the government's new advice is pubs or schools choice. Just wondered what people would vote for. Pubs or schools. Schools have positives and negatives about opening same with pubs. At a push I go for keeping pubs open. But it's not my first option as I would not vote for another lockdown. What is the options and best way going forward lockdowns? No lockdowns? Carry on as we are or just return to normality and freedom accepting living with the consequences. What do you think is best. ? Or do you have any other good suggestions? I'm changing thoughts all the time about it and I think many are no one knows what to do for the best outcome.

@BlackberrySky

This OP is known for goady troll threads, no?

Goady shit still needs to be mercilessly crushed, lest it infects popular opinion. For reference see: reddit, 4chan, 8chan, incel, surrendered wife, violent porn, anti semitism etc.

Let this stuff go as just "silly" and you risk the less critically thinking going 🤔 ooooh that guy has a point...

Do you have children?

We need schools so children can get on with the business of learning to spell.

No, it's a ridiculous idea. Schools need to open, first amd foremost because children need to be educated.

If we don't educate children, then who is going to be the next generation of doctors, nurses, police officers, electricians, plumbers, shop workers, bank staff, HGV drivers, military personnel - I could go on and on with the list of jobs that will be there and will need people with at least a basic standard of education to do them.

A civilised society needs educated people.

I feel for any business who has been closed/will close because of coronavirus. I especially feel for pubs because the pub trade hasn't been brilliant for a while. I think if they can't fully open then they should be able to do takeaway stuff.

What absolutely shouldn't happen is that our children lose out on their education.

Some parents can't homeschool for a wide variety of reasons -trying to work themselves being one and a genuine lack of ability in some areas. If parents have a reasonable standard of education they can probably assist with some things but if they don't, they may struggle no matter how much they want to help. It would be predominantly the most disadvantaged kids who would miss out.

Anyhow, I'll get off my soapbox now!

"Id love and all for having our freedom and normality back by treating covid as flu."

So adults can enjoy the freedom to go to the pub and get drunk, but children need to suffer not getting education. That's very fair, very insightful, OP.

Just wondered what people would vote for.

What will women vote for? Women are 52% of the population. Unless by "people", you mean "men".

So schools open it is. Mens' opinions might carry far more weight on the street, but a woman's vote is worth just as much in the box and her money and taxes fuel the economy just as essentially.

Newjez I like your suggestion ..part time schooling. 2days/ 3 days in. I think it's a good idea.

You would opt for pubs?!? What on earth are you on? 😂

Pubs- an alternative place to drink other than your own home. It is a personal choice to use a pub.

Schools- a place to educate the future generation. A place that allows parents to work. Education is not a choice in this country, and for many people the place of education is not a choice for them.

Depriving alcohol-drinkers of an alternative place to drink is incomparable to depriving our children of a decent education.

This is getting ridiculous. Are preople seriously unable to evaluate risk anymore? We need to stop our lives over a mild virus that kills people that most probably would have died anyway? Long term effects? As if the government is being cautious over long term effects? We don't know the long term effects of a lot of things ( GMOs, various pesticides, the new vaccine should it come about, etc etc.) But we need to stop our lives for this? No. No. No!

Schools should close to save our economy

Yes, capital idea. Close the schools, parents can't go to work and the economy will be booming.

What about parents who work full time?

The first is want my suggestion I would love having freedom and normality back treating covid like flu that is the choice I would make but The goverment today are suggesting pubs or schools so that's what I based my question on. pubs or schools? And at a push I would chose pubs/ economy. Sorry I thought I had explained in my other replies I asked others what differents ways suggestions / their own ideas. Someone mentioned part time school so half the class could go in 2 days/ 3days per week which I thought was a good idea. I'm sorry you have read my post completely different to how I meant it.

Tbf all your posts sound like you're in favour of closing schools instead of closing pubs

If kids don't get an education where do you propose all our future essential workers come from (as well as all the non-essential ones who nevertheless pay taxes).
