Coronavirus outbreak

They can open the schools but will parents want to send them ? Will they have the staff to cover and how can you fit them all in with social distancing in the class room?

He did say that they would provide more details about the schooling - they will have to build in SDing but what it will look like?

So we get 1000's of people to sign up to help the ones stuck at home. Now over night we've made them not available.
So now what leave it to already understaffed local services ?

Living in Scotland and I do wish that the UK all followed the same guidelines (it would make things much easier for the border areas) but I’m with the FM on this one.

So it now seems that you can go out in your car (only with your family) to other places and it doesn't have to be an essential journey.
I'm taking this to mean i can go out riding around on my motorcycle.

No, the ones with no common sense are stuffed.

If all we need is common sense why is Boris wasting our time on a Sunday evening?

It would be far easier to social distance in a secondary school. If you had only years 10 and 12 doing core subjects only and taught in half class sizes it could work. No chance with 4 - 6 year olds though.

Tomorrow in Parliament will provide more detail apparently but why not do that today?

Perhaps not got round to working it ll out yet.

Agree. This must be more about freeing up the parents rather than education?

Let’s hope that what you describe is coming soon.

About 10 per class room if that the one planning meeting I attended it worked out at 7
Every part of the school day will need totally rethink. You're looking at least doubling the size most schools.

Ah, Tory supporters and Brexiteers....now I understand.

My thoughts too but he would have been better saying nothing or providing the detail in his speech.

Or halving the attendance such as mornings only for one lot and afternoons for the others?

You're looking at least doubling the size most schools.

Or having fewer than half the year groups in

Good news, then. Back on the bike from Wednesday. Bet we get crap weather from now on.

What has stopped you riding up until now? It has been allowed all along, hasn't it?

Doesn’t even really work for that particularly well. You are not going to be able to go to work with your 5 year old at school and your 7 year old at home by itself
