If so, and your dc is primary age what remote teaching/ learning has the school put in place?

Got the dreaded letter today, 9yo ds has to isolate until 19th.

School are basically doing what they did for 6 months - put everything on their website and asking parents/ dc to self serve with a few phone calls and the offer to take questions of clarification. This is despite all children in the class having been issued with laptops and Teams having been rolled out widely. Apparently the laptops are for 'school use only'.

Dh and I both work ft, luckily from home. But we're both just so busy every day (I don't even take a lunch break most days) we're considering taking leave to try to teach him. Feeling quite resentful that 8 months on the school still hasn't got adequate provisions in place for remote learning.

DS is secondary but they're doing a full day of live lessons on google classroom so it's much better than the first lockdown where they only uploaded work with no lessons or support.

But I believe all of year 10 is isolating (or they've shut the bubble) as otherwise they might not have been able to accommodate it.

Teacher laptop! That made me laugh! Teachers are lucky they get any sort of computer to use. Laptops are treated like desktops and told to stay in rooms and not moved. So that there is always a computer to work the board with. Not every room in our school has a computer in it. Teachers often have to buy their own computers for working from home.
