UK Schools Failure to Reopen Impacts Mental Health of Children Sat at Home Instead of in Classrooms
Politics / Educating Children Jun 19, 2020 - 12:47 PM GMTBritain's schools are very badly failing children that will have consequences long after covid-19 becomes a paragraph in the history books as the continuing failure to open schools is resulting in untold damage being done to the educational and mental well being of many millions of children across Britain.
UK schools were supposed to open on the 15th of June 2020. Instead most if not ALL schools have only paid lip service towards school openings who have followed local city council dictats of self prophesied covid-19 experts, who it should not be forgotten closed schools about 3 weeks too late to start with thus contributing to the triggering of a huge wave of deaths well beyond the Governments upper estimate of 20,000. Who now with the deaths coming under control have swung in the other extreme direction by refusing to reopen schools.
So that there is no confusion, asking children to check their emails for assignments and online resources does NOT amount to reopening of schools!
Having Year 10's and Year 12's attend 1 day per week does NOT amount to reopening of schools!
Therefore in all intents and purposes Schools remain CLOSED! With the social distancing reopening being little more than publicity stunts aimed to securing resources that given that 90% of teaching currently takes place in the home should be funneled to parents rather than the schools so that at least some of the damage that is being done to children's life chances and mental well being can be mitigated.
SCHOOLS NEED TO REOPEN NOW! As 1 or 2 year groups attending for a few hours for 1 day a week is not going to work! The situation really has become a JOKE!
Where pointing out to a school that their sending of emails to parents stating that some children will be allowed to attend whilst your child's year won't be allowed to attend school is a JOKE! That results in the School replying with threats of legal action! (Sheffield) WHAT A JOKE! And this is NO laughing matter!
The bottom line is this OPEN THE SCHOOLS OR PAY THE PARENTS TO DO THE TEACHERS JOBS FOR THEM!
