NI - are you sending children back to school next week as scheduled ?

[jessyjo2]

So I have 2 boys in Primary, 1 due to do AQE starting next Saturday. With a large surge in covid numbers still due to come in next few weeks im hesitant about sending them back to school. Are others all sending kids back?

Hi I probably won't.

I don't want to get teachers sick! I think it is ridiculous!

Also in part because I know people who were meant to be isolating but who attended 11 plus exams and therefore potentially put others at risk.

My husband has been ill all Christmas not covid - he is just completely over worked.
I am a sahm want to look for work.

But have had the kids all the time by myself due to husband's insane hours. We will just keep ploughing on.

I won't take them in in part because my husband has a business to run and I don't want him to get covid after being so ill Andre down. I also have health risks.

It totally sucks but I know so many more people have it harder.

I also feel we have just been lucky my to get covid so far.

Honestly, probably not. We just have the one and he’s only in p3 so we will most likely keep him off until things settle a bit. I am not working atm so easily enough done.

We aren't going to send our daughter in.
