How soon will kids get blamed for outbreaks in schools?

As well as having their lives turned upside down, someone should be warning kids that they'll soon be getting blamed for outbreaks around schools.

They'll get blamed for not social distancing (when there's no room anyway), not washing hands (when there's no time or too many queues) not wearing masks (when they are told not to but that's all forgotten about).

The media will be blaming kids for a second lock down. The government will be happy for kids to take the blame.

It's so predictable and depressing.

This is an article about how Swedish schools coped. Not really carrying on as normal.

And yes I am sure it will be the teachers that get the blame both from the media and probably from a number of parents especially if they are working and have to self isolate their child on numerous occasions.

So exactly what the unions are asking for, split classrooms and blended learning and SD in school.

Really?? I think you mean that there have been non-stop threads saying schools must open. Teachers have simply pointed out, especially at secondary school, that :
  • SD is basically impossible
-staff and students come in using public transport
  • bubbles are basically whole school size as we can not segment that schools - mixed year group loos, tiny dining hall, options block choices-
-by year 10/11 teens are basically adults

blah blah blah .......
