This is the third or fourth such scaremongering post in the last 10 days and MN does absolutely nothing.

What is the issue supposed to be?

I work in a primary school and we have no concerns at all about back to school other than the normal settling children back in!

What are you seeing 'all over the news and media'?

Liliwen · 21/08/2025 18:26

Oh not this again. There’s nothing in the news. Bore off

Can you explain what you’re worried about, with links to reputable news sites eg. BBC, quality newspapers or quality publications such as FT / Economist etc? If there have been specific news stories in your area, tightly linked to schools / children, then a link to a local paper would be useful?

DappledThings · 21/08/2025 18:26

I have no idea what OP is claiming to be worried about

ninjahamster · 21/08/2025 18:26

What are you worried about?

KateMiskin · 21/08/2025 18:27

If only people would stop getting news from Tiktok.

GreenAndWhiteStripes · 21/08/2025 18:27

No OP, I have no concerns about sending my DC back to school.

TheFairyCaravan · 21/08/2025 18:27

Stop watching rubbish on TwatTok, then you’ll be a lot less stressed.

mumofboys1308 · 21/08/2025 18:28

I'm a teacher. The only thing that worries me about going back to school is having to set my alarm in the morning and not being able to have an afternoon nap.

What have you seen that's panicked you?

It would be helpful if you said WHAT you are worried about?

Gaza? Trump? Global warming?

kiddywinkleyeee · 21/08/2025 18:30

Err what are you worried about?

mumofboys1308 · 21/08/2025 18:31

I dont really have anyone to talk about with this matter and upto now seeing people not worried as eased my anxiety about this situation. I stopped watching the news when we got put into lock down because I started feeling the same and I was looking for other opinions. Thanks

But what exactly are you worried about? I’ve heard/seen absolutely no news suggesting there is anything to be concerned about, so could you enlighten me? Then I’ll know if I need to worry or not 🤷🏻‍♀️

Children are probably safer at school than just about anywhere (unless they're in the USA 😭)

Everything? You might need to narrow it down a bit if you genuinely want a conversation

Bluebubblepig · 21/08/2025 18:34

As a parent of a primary school child I honestly am not sure what you’re on about? Could you explain x

You need to concentrate on your own little family unit. Cut down on/stop social media like TikTok, stop watching the news again. You are seeing catastrophe and problems because social media is quite happy to keep feeding you that the more you look.
Schools are safe. Your children will be safe.

How is this ‘everything’ going to impact your children at school? What exactly do you think is going to happen to them?
