I am quite worried about them as my DS has now missed a lot of valuable face to face teacher time. Online is not the same as being in a classroom, For one it is a lot harder to focus and engage. Especially for SEN children who may find school more challenging anyway - I'm speaking from experience.
I came across this and thought that actually it is really important to look at this now so our students and teachers know how the 2021 GCSE's will be assessed? What do you think? Do you support it?

If they don't know how they are assessed then they can't 'do their best' in a way - if there is a thought they will be marked on an assessment of classwork I think the students and teachers need to know this now.
