It just feels like a British mindset that everyone should keep soldiering on. In secondary schools now, nearly all teachers can , and should, be working from home. But DH's school have ordered his staff in for a MEETING on Monday (so that's 100 people in a room with manky keyboards etc). In my school, staff have volunteered to do 5 a side football. I cannot get beyond this.
Rant over...
Lincoln is being a bit weird. Everything gone online but not expecting students to leave really. Beginning to wish we had told DS to stay put but when you fall ill, your perspective does change.
I suspect unis have, like so many others, fallen for the 'young people don't get ill' line.
Although I am 'WFH' if worst comes to worst I shall have to take DS to clear his room at some point.
He is moaning about being home, but I think once he had realised his nights out at the pub were gone and his daily haunt of Morrisons had no food, he would have changed his tune.
There is no point in phoning the uni today because what can they say really... but unprecedented times really should mean they should drop that clear your rooms nonsense.
The penny does seem to be taking a long time to drop!
