Restaurants, GAA, hairdressers etc all back. 6 cases today. But no teachers lives are more important than the rest of us. I put myself at risk everyday so they remain on full pay at home. I realise life just has to go on and everyone needs to make the sacrifice.

Some think they will still be working from home, I don't see why they would be. Teachers themselves can social distance among themselves, how is that unsafe if they had an entire classroom to themselves?
Zahir Bitter Cellist wrote: » There's no reason why teachers won't be expected to be onsite in school in September, whatever about students doing a partial week the teachers will be able to be in school without any social distancing issues between themselves. I think any teacher planning on working from home from September needs to be fully prepared for the likelihood that they will be required onsite for at least their usual school workday. Why wouldn't they be?

Not unreasonable when phase 4 delay, no plan delivered, construction sites closed and travel from safe destinations banned. The Government is considering a voucher scheme to pay babysitters.

History Queen wrote: » I don't think it's fair to say there's many people here looking for excuses not to return to work. Pointing out that the Department of Education need to do their job is hardly unreasonable. Guidance is needed and expected. No point in pretending it isn't.
