Checking in with you all

There are so many posts on here discussing struggles with returning to school for X Y Z reasons - is this everybody's experience? If not, what has your child's schools been doing to help them catch up?
Let's try and get a discussion on what's going on for each of us :)

I hope this is allowed on this forum, I am speaking from experience and am posting for the good of others. There is a trend of online modelling platforms advertising on social media, offering free test shoots under the pretence of getting you/your child into the modelling industry. The reality is it's a scam! Once you have completed the shoot you will be told you have been selected, they then feed you a stream of lies about the glamorous modelling career you will have with them and use pressure tactics to get you to pay for various portfolio/website packages. I have experienced this first and have since read so many horror stories of people being taken in by these scammers and losing thousands of pounds. I was surprised to find so many articles in news papers about this as I had never heard of it. This scam has also been featured in 'Which'. I have seen many reviews for these so called modelling platforms on Feefo and Trustpilot all recounting the same experience. These companies use many different names, the one I replied to was Identity Management / ID Models / Model Management but there are so many more. Please do your research before you sign up for anything and most certainly before parting with any money.

OP. DD, y11, hasn't managed to return at all having had a breakdown over lockdown. School are being very supportive, but there isn't a lot they can do really as she can't even cope access stuff at home.
