Absolutely not.

Close to 117000 and growing would disagree

CodenameVillanelle · 01/11/2020 17:47

So what? You think that will make any difference to government policy?

Im sure if there was a petition for the schools to stay open it would outstrip the one you’ve linked 😂😂😂

YABU.

Schools are often the only reprieve for vulnerable children and the only way someone might notice they are in need.
If you have the money and time take your own kids out of school.

Readytogogogo · 01/11/2020 17:47

I will not be doing that thanks.

Agreed!

The government wouldn't take any notice if the whole country signed that op. They don't care about teachers and other school staff.

6,000,000 signed the eu ref petition and it disappeared without a squeak.

I have some sympathy for closing or part time schooling some schools, in some locations.

But for others (yes like be one my kids go to) it would be foolish. Tiny, rural, in an area with few cases... Why would we close unless the virus is actually detected in the school community?

lyralalala · 01/11/2020 17:49

I don't think schools should close.

I think the lockdown should have co-incided with half-term so that there was a short burst of almost complete lockdown and then just the educational settings, but that ship has sailed.

Schools are staying open for a reason.

Now if there was a petition to stop parents who chose to temporarily home educate being fined and/or losing their child's place in the school I'd sign that.

Gremlinpoop · 01/11/2020 17:49

Absolutely not. You obviously have no idea the effect school closures had on children. If you don't want to send YOUR child to school fine but you have no right to stop mine.

This.

If you have the time, ability and money, by all means take your DC out of school and teach them yourself. Good luck to you.

MushMonster · 01/11/2020 17:51

Keep hospitals open?
Keep supermarkets open?
