Kids with health issues or those that have vulnerable family members or even those who don’t want to risk the school environment could learn from home. Less kids physically in school means reduced risk for everyone.

I said long term because lots of people aren't fully recovering. Who knows if they ll be well in 6 or 12 months. I've never had a flue for 3 months that's awful.. Only time I was very ill was after having my first child... I was very sick for close to 3 months and it was horrible very depressing, but recover I did thank goodness . Your health is everything.

Well, yes, and why I've suggested it's a charade, we all know it's not going to happen, and that schools in Ireland are extremely unlikely to be ever open again until unions and teachers are happy with a vaccine.

The width of the tables are 60cm. 2 of then together is 120 width. Meaning if the tables are pushed together theres 120cm between pupils 2 rows of that configuration sits 24 pupils and 1 row of 3 tables sits another 6. Each pupils has 120cm between them and the pupils opposite them. 1m behind them and the student behind them and approx 1 m to each side. There still a strip of 2.4 meters wide x 7m at the top of the room for the sna and wheelchair &teacher.

What Is Peer Review? In academic publishing, the goal of peer review is to assess the quality of articles submitted for publication in a scholarly journal. Before an article is deemed appropriate to be published in a peer-reviewed journal, it must undergo the following process: The author of the article must submit it to the journal editor who forwards the article to experts in the field. Because the reviewers specialize in the same scholarly area as the author, they are considered the author’s peers (hence “peer review”). These impartial reviewers are charged with carefully evaluating the quality of the submitted manuscript. The peer reviewers check the manuscript for accuracy and assess the validity of the research methodology and procedures. If appropriate, they suggest revisions. If they find the article lacking in scholarly validity and rigor, they reject it. Because a peer-reviewed journal will not publish articles that fail to meet the standards established for a given discipline, peer-reviewed articles that are accepted for publication exemplify the best research practices in a field.
