Are all Y10/Y12s back or just a few?

[TheRentstone]

DC is in Y9 and in his school the Y10s did one meeting and that was it. Is it only just a few going back?

My Year 10 has one full morning in school per week and a full timetable of online lessons all week. It's a state school, I'm thinking this is a fairly good offering.

Well, mine broke up last week but was offered only two opportunities to come in and play tennis in an evening, so hasn't been back at all.

It is clear their is a massive disparity in provision across the different schools across the country. DD year 10 in a decent comp has dyslexia and she has struggled on, on her own in her bedroom for months. On the last few weeks next door have started building an extension above her bedroom (to make things even harder). Teachers have bombarded her with umpteen emails a day with power points and work has to be done on umpteen different platforms but its not the same as face to face learning and socialising with her school friends on a lunch time and break. My dad/her grandad died in lockdown and everything has really affected her mental health. Her school has been next to useless (and yes I have contacted them), they have offered her no additional support at all, she is very quiet and stubborn, won’t ask us and won’t accept any input from us. In total by the end of term she will have only had 4 half days in school in total since March and probably 4 virtual TEAMS lessons in total which is appalling. She is worried about doing GCSE’s next year and is aware her, her year across the country particularly in her school have had a very raw deal. On top of all this I think she is also stressed about her sexuality and she is extremely hormonal. My relationship with her is extremely strained. Its just awful.

DS' school has had over 90% take up for Y12 and 80% for Y10. Very rural school, with a huge catchment. Transport was available (socially distanced and facemasks provided).

DS is Y12 and has will have had 2 days per A level subject by the end of term (5 hours teaching). The Y10s had 6 days each. 1 day for each option and 2 core days with 1 hour each of Maths, English and the sciences during the day.

I think we've been very lucky

Splattherat that sounds so hard for you all, I'm so sorry
