NB Please don’t take this too seriously- it depends what vaccine delivery speed and uptake you estimate so it’s not written in stone.

No, no. I'm giving them till March 8th before I go full Michael Douglas falling down. Channeling movies today.

Love it. March 8 it is.

Apart from last summer which we do not mention anymore (obvs do not mention the war) the schools have been pretty good. It’s not rl that gets me but posts on mn and inability to say anything.

Having said that we were lumped with a Wellness Wednesday yesterday for yr11. Baboom. Wellness my bottom! Day off more like

Hopefully a one off.

Cannot mention March - July.
Our school have been good since September too.
Wellness is such a buzzword at the morning. We have a wellness hour but everyone is too busy too attend 🙄

Ok. Well I will deflect using a long post mentioning

Work shy
Closed
Teachers union
Noblegiraffe
Lazy teachers
Homeschool and wfh being easy

If you two are getting torn apart by wolves

@Truelymadlydeeplysomeonesmum

Maybe mention long bike rides/ house refurbishments too?

Oh my youngest had a "no screens" day yesterday. Which we translated as an ironic gesture.

The number of people in mechanical ventilation beds has now dropped below the peak of the first wave. Still masses of people in hospital and I know there will still be lots getting oxygen through CPAP but still - deaths ought to keep falling now.

Appreciate the cover truely. We'll stage a coup. No one will see it coming from the bowels of the Pollyanna thread!

😂 at all this. Cheering me up a bit

I've not looked at that thread. I ventured an idea/opinion on a schools thread earlier this week, the teachers on MN are a little aggressive, I discovered ....
Staying right here me!

And yes, irl, our school have been utterly amazing.

Very @tootyfruitypickle and travel in packs

My DS2’s teacher is fab, so positive and amazingly patient with a bunch of seven years constantly telling him that their iPad battery is running low. He keeps talking about 8th March and seems convinced (and very happy about) them all going back to school then. Wish I could record him and put him on one of those bloody school threads.

@BunsyGirl most of the teachers I know want to be back, have been able to wear masks etc think just a vocal minority on here

Looking at today's stats it would appear that one THOUSAND times the number of positive cases today, are now vaccinated

or 33 times the number of positive cases today, were vaccinated today.

The number of people vaccinated in total is more than four times the number of people that have tested positive, in total.

How odd because most teachers I know absolutely do not want to go back until the government put in place better measures to make classrooms safer. DP teaches and their colleagues are hoping for schools to remain closed until Easter.

@Pomegranatespompom Unfortunately I have a family member who is one of the “vocal minority”. Well, maybe not on here, but definitely on other social media. My DS2’s teacher is the perfect antidote I am sure DS1’s teacher is the same (as DS2’s) but I don’t get involved in those lessons!

What on earth is Noblegiraffe?

I wonder at what point Nadhim Zahawi will break out his I-told-you-so victory dance? 14m or 15m?

Not odd really @Thewiseoneincognito we just know different people.
Although my nephew is enjoying his time off, as a PE teacher he’s not needed to do much at all.
