No way on earth. I can’t work from home, homeschool and do housework all at the same time again, and the kids need to be at school learning and with their friends.

skipperjonce · 01/11/2020 17:54

Fuck off

You could get a million signatures and all it would show is likely that a million people, overwehelt

Coronacockup · 01/11/2020 17:54

YABU.

user12345796 · 01/11/2020 17:55

You must be joking

cologne4711 · 01/11/2020 17:55

Definitely not.

It's all very well for yummy mummies with younger children (but old enough to entertain themselves) to virtue signal about closing schools. Yours have time to catch up.

Mine has A levels next year, many have GCSEs and they simply do not have the luxury of time. They need schooling to carry on, and not via video screen.

No

Ilikeviognier · 01/11/2020 17:56

Let’s start a keep the schools open one! 😁😁

grassisjeweled · 01/11/2020 17:56

Schools are often the only reprieve for vulnerable children and the only way someone might notice they are in need

^^

This. All you champagne socialists think about that?

Witchcraftandhokum · 01/11/2020 17:56

Signed

tinytemper66 · 01/11/2020 17:57

As a teacher I need to be in front of my classes. We should be campaigning for more money to buy cleaning products and other stuff not closing.

bookworm14 · 01/11/2020 17:57

Keep your own child at home if you’re worried. Mine needs to be in school.

anniversarywoes · 01/11/2020 17:57

@Deyes999
No thanks and I work in one!!!

On who's behalf are you speaking for? Certainly not mine.

Hobnobswantshernameback · 01/11/2020 17:58

Millions of parents, children and teachers would sign one begging to keep schools open
Home school your kids by all means
Mine need to be in school
And DH wants to be in work teaching and interacting with pupils

nancypineapple · 01/11/2020 18:04

No thanks. My yr 13 boy needs all the help at school he can get as does every yr 11 and 13. So you can take your petition and shove it up your arse.

Hobnobswantshernameback · 01/11/2020 18:13

Not sure this has gone quite the way the OP was hoping Hmm

SoupDragon · 01/11/2020 18:15

Hell no.

itwasthegintalking · 01/11/2020 18:16

Err.......no

kowari · 01/11/2020 18:18

YABU.

My then 13 year old spent weeks home alone before I sent him back to school as a keyworker child in May. He is now in year 10 and needs to be in school! Think about what you are doing to young people and families.

justanotherneighinparadise · 01/11/2020 18:18

Oh for fuck sake. Just leave the children alone.

Ineverdidmind · 01/11/2020 18:19

Not a chance I'm signing that.

Whitehorsewaves · 01/11/2020 18:20

How about no.

kowari · 01/11/2020 18:20

Is there a recent petition to keep schools open? I'd sign that!

kowari · 01/11/2020 18:21

@justanotherneighinparadise

Oh for fuck sake. Just leave the children alone.
Exactly!
Cosmosgrowinmygarden · 01/11/2020 18:22

No. Children need school.
