Why are the earliest responses in favour of this measure which is damaging children daily? Do they not have children or care about the young in society at all?
Because this is not categorically damaging all children.
What ridiculous, inflammatory language.
Being kept safely at home, with family, while we drive the infections down and vaccinate as many as possible really is not the traumatic ordeal some seem to suggest.
I understand that working parents are fed up of it and may have lots of other things going on, but they wouldn't disagree that kids should be the priority.
By which, I don't mean it's a priority to ship them off for someone else to deal with, but for attention and interaction from parents, including interest in education, to be the norm. (I'm shocked how many are falling for the narrative which basically says children are being disadvantaged by being looked after by their own parents whilst educational professionals continue to provide appropriate learning materials, exercises and feedback! Isn't that insulting?)
Kids can (and arguably, should always, to some extent) learn at home in addition to the many years of schooling they have already had, or have to come.
