I have a couple of friends who have received messages from the school that online attendance / registers will be monitored and failure to engage will be escalated accordingly. My children's school also chased on a couple of overdue tasks and online lessons (both KS1), hinting that there will be consequences for not coping well.
This seems to be a complete u-turn to the previous messages from same schools - mental health is important, we're in this together, just read, bake, play and you'll be fine etc.
My question is whether schools actually can take any measures against parents who are late with submitting work / struggle with organising online attendance etc.
I don't want this to turn into a teacher bashing thread, I'd probably explode myself if I had children at home AND I had to teach other people's children at the same time as well. But it does feel like maybe the guidance for schools has changed at the top level?
