Did your dc’s secondary school go virtual because of rail strike?

[Mich2005]

We left early for the primary school run as was expecting much more traffic for secondary school drop offs because of the rail strike. In the end, traffic was much lighter than normal and fewer kids walking as well. I wondered if maybe the secondary schools adapted quickly to virtual since they are now more able to swap over due to Covid restriction.

I’m not aware of any schools that went “virtual” for the day. That said we live in Manchester where likely a very small proportion go by train and those that don’t (‘s parents) will almost all have cars anyway.

No.

But I was stuck in traffic for 3 hours today on a usually 30-40mins journey picking my daughter up from her after school activity. 😞

Yes ours did. We are in London. School said it's because staff wouldn't he able to get to work.

Ours have kept virtual going since Covid, all lessons are streamed on Teams - very handy if they are too sick to actually go to school but well enough to do something more than watch mindless TV... or for train/tube strikes!

No but we are Manchester and 99% of kids live within 1.5 miles and get the bus lol

No. But late start. DS was happy - meant he had a lie in!
