Is anyone pulling out of school for the last week?

[wondersun]

Just that really, just being nosey!

Absolutely not!! We are currently isolating waiting test results and we are all desperate to get back!

Well we’ve got 2 weeks left til half term but no, mine will be in school unless it is closed / they need to self isolate.

DD is back from isolation for the last week. I'm keeping everything crossed it goes ahead! Some of the online learning has been piss poor and it feels like a full time job getting her to do it. Next week we've got the step kids too so I'd be absolutely up the wall if DD was trying to work from home with them here too

Last week of what? The year? This half term?

I’d quite like to but as I’m a teacher I don’t think they’d like it!!

I don't understand why you would do that?

No way. They've been deprived of enough school already this year, the last thing I'm going to do is reduce it even further.

No, why on earth would anyone (bar the very vunerable) do something so detrimental to their childs' education?! How stupid! The children need to be in school, the vunerable need to be at home and shielded. We need to stop sacrificing our children's future because people are scared. Especially the Year 8 and 9 children (like mine) who are heading to GCSE years.

No way. I’m so grateful for every day they are there.

They should have been back in May. When the weather was better and they could have been outside more. Rather than hung them
all back in September as we go in to flu season.

Bung not hung!

Not in a million years.
They need every scrap of time with friends and teachers they can get. I'm sure, like others that we will eventually have another closure but till then they're in as much as possible.

We do however have a 2 week half term here so that to me is an interesting break. In 3 weeks I think things will be rather different.

Like another poster our local area has gone from 15 odd cases a week to 60. Leafy, green spacious agricultural county.

I'm keeping an eye on it.
We are in a rising area but not too bad at the moment.
So far so good with school, as pp said I'm hoping we can keep them going for a while longer.

However.... If hospitals become swamped and medial help breaks down, and more cases pop up where we are, then yes I'd probably pull them out.

Being sick is one thing, being sick with little access to medical help is another.

No

Possibly for ds.
Speaking to school next week about set up for remote learning.
Feel we've done really well to get as far as we have.

No. I want my children in school. They are happy and well.

No. Kids have suffered enough, let them go school and learn and meet and play with their mates whilst they can before they are all locked up and separated again!

Thinking about it because we've just sent dd back after she had to isolate due to a burst bubble😫

Is this one of those

“I have made a choice, now someone please validate it for me!”

threads?

We are considering it, just so we can isolate for a while and then go and see grandparents for a few days towards end of half term

I fleetingly thought about it because both my dc’s schools had positive cases yesterday and I’m not in brilliant health. I kept them home today (a half day anyway, and one dc has a sore throat). But no, assuming they’re well, I’ll be sending them in on Monday.

Not unless instructed.
DC1 loving 1st year of secondary
DC2 much prefers friends than us boring parents.

They would think we were the devil in disguise if we took them out of school because of parental paranoia no matter how grounded our concerns.

Of course not, is it a thing? Why would you do that?

No

God no. DD is much calmer, happier and less clingy since returning to school. She will remain in school unless they are forced to close again.
