Instead they'll be scratching their heads on the day before they are due to reopen. Waiting for more guidelines is not the solution, they need to start working with what they have for now. The excuses won't wash if the schools aren't ready.

You do know there's a Covid officer for each team, and they train and play outside. Honestly, talk about comparing apples and oranges. If you're going to try your hand at trolling, you're going to have to up your game a bit.

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.

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: » What part of my posts did you consider bullying? All of the above applies to teachers who are parents as well, so do you think they will also have to give up work or go on covid payment if they can't attend work as you put it?
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?
