Isolating from school... or not

[JemimaMoon]

Both dcs sent home as close contacts this week. Seems like a whole load of the kids from their year groups have taken it as a holiday and are out and about with their mates. It's all a bit of a joke really.

One boy tells me his parents belittled and sneered at people who were sticking to the rules, and so did he at the time. Now he is older and wiser he literally hates what they did. He feels nothing but contempt for his parents now. He is only 17, but says his relationship with his parents will end on his 18th birthday

I suspect there is rather more going on here than disagreements over how to deal with covid. Did someone in the family die?

dds form bubble had burst twice , in close succession , she only managed 1 day there before having to go home again , she didnt isolate at all , neither did some of her friends that she talks to on whatsapp , its a farce as far as im concerned and i wasnt going to keep her cooped up in the house for 20 days

…and now Boris has decided he is exempt from isolation
How he expects anyone to follow the rules that he himself can’t follow is anyone’s guess
