| Comment | Agreed children are there to learn but if we do enter another lockdown due to the rising cases then we need to look at better safety precautions in schools.
Currently the systems just aren’t there to protect teachers if things get worse. With regards to their learning, there is suitable timetables for blended learning that will really benefit the young people, especially with a significant amount of secondary children being given iPads recently. I personally am in favour of this blended approach with pupils coming in certain days etc.
I also don’t think replacing teachers who don’t want to expose themselves need “replacing”, that is a very harsh attitude to have for people protecting themselves. I’m also not entirely sure about a glut of PGDE students needing jobs either when they are in jobs either as probationers or on supply. |
