Mark Albrighton Posted January 6, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted January 6, 2021 Yeah I’ve had six e-mails from my kid’s teacher in the past 24 hours (or so) offering support. In the process of scheduling a regular one to one zoom chat between my kid and her teacher while this is going on. Plus, in the case of many, they’ll have their own kid(s) that will need attending to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are teaching still, over teams or face to face kids for key workers. They aren’t having any time off at all. As I replied to Stefan it was more towards one school in particular and there are many like it. Their handling first time round wasn’t great but expected to a degree as it was a shock to us all. This time round it’s the same again. Plenty of complaints towards the school , so it’s not just me and the missus who aren’t happy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their guidance has flipped more times than I can count. As I mentioned earlier, my sister spent her Christmas break prepping and training for staff to deliver vaccines in the new year. Now they're closed* again and all of that work was for nothing.

Not their choice is it? 4 minutes ago, Rugeley Villa said: Basically my argument is against schools that are not doing online teaching. Again not their choice. Aim your ire at the government and please retract your original statement because I found hugely offensive. * I asterisked 'closed' because they're not really. Most schools still have hundreds of kids attending. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, but that's absolutely shambolic, devoid of any empathy and humanity. The worst thing is, Rugeley will just go and vote Tory again next time too, and still direct so much ire and anger towards the school. The teachers deserve better than your community. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 I can’t help but think @Rugeley Villa is well off the mark direct anger towards the school 1 day after being absolutely shafted by the politicians. Cut them some slack, possibly ask them what you can do to help them. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well this school in particular got found out pre COVID, but it still ranks high. The kids seem to do well there , and that’s all that counts isn’t it. Their handling compared to other so called lesser schools is not good . Why is it other schools in town have online teaching? Ok you’ve got me with the directing the venom at the teachers themselves, but main heads at the school .....

What were heads supposed to? Beside 'expecting the unexpected'? They were told pre christmas that they would open 4th Jan, then on the evening of the 5th Jan, were told to close. It is now 6th Jan. Should the heads pull all of their staff in for overtime to make sure they're ready to go, so they don't get complained to by spoiled, inhumane and frankly, entitled parents? My response here, above all else is to have some humanity and empathy, rather than blame the school for a situation well, well above their pay grade. I feel like people forget that teachers are human too. Edited January 6, 2021 by StefanAVFC 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course not, that would be silly and we’d go round in circles.

I can understand where you’re coming from to a degree. I get it’s not ideal as a parent and the situation is poor, I’m sure there is more than meets the eye regards to the teachers at your kids school. my wife is a teacher, has worked even harder since the pandemic started doing online lessons, preparing worksheets, she even started her own YouTube channel and put lessons on there! Schools are getting guidance from government very late. (For anything to be implemented on a Monday, they’re getting the notice from gov on Friday night) Teachers unfortunately are getting the brunt of it all. have you reached out to your kids school regarding work being set?

Genie Posted January 6, 2021 Share Posted January 6, 2021 Quote The end of England's lockdown will not happen with a "big bang" but will instead be a "gradual unwrapping", Boris Johnson has told MPs. The prime minister made the comments in the Commons ahead of a retrospective vote later on the lockdown measures. He said the legislation runs until 31 March to allow a "controlled" easing of restrictions back into local tiers. 31st March is a lot later than February half term usually sits.
