Anyone else dreading kids going back to school

Ive kept my DC safe and isolated since March. They’ve barely seen another person during this time.
Homeschooling was a bit of a flop, I won’t lie.
But I’m literally lying awake at night, worrying about them going back. The media is saying it’s safe, etc. But I’m not convinced.
Don’t get me wrong, they’ve driven me to the brink of sanity most days, but I’d rather them be safe and healthy. DC2 is prone to viral asthma and all the DC were born very prematurely(no real ongoing health issues though-but I’ve seen them on ventilators before and I still have nightmares about it)
Anyone else considering hiding from the world in a cave with their DC?

Mine have been back in early june - and loved it. The separate Forward facing tables etc were not a problem at all, the kids loved it.
Please (apart from extreme vulnerabilities such as current cancer treatment etc) go out with your children, allow them to experience the world. On primary level the risk is minimal, and the benefits are immeasurable.

Well apparently now it's going to be teachers giving it to each other and the children because we don't know how to behave properly in school or outside! I knew it wouldn't be long before it would be our fault! I just hope that parents see this for the devisive tactic it is.

Better sit on the naughty step for a while with my laminating!
