Parents already contribute enough through buying books and uniforms for their free education and vol contributions, sorry if that sounds bad but the Dept have no idea how much parents subsidise education in this country.

Perhaps parents who were in a position to do so could donate cleaning supplies instead so that most of the cleaning budget allocated by the Dept could go towards a cleaner/deep cleaning? (Wary of suggesting this as I completely understand parents should not have to fund this and pay enough in other school expenses) if every classroom had supplies the teacher and students could wipe down their own desks/areas and cleaners could concentrate on deeper cleans/common areas etc.

Consider schools, perhaps the most fraught topic for millions. Classrooms are places of a lot of talking; children are not going to be perfect at social distancing; and the more people in a room, the more opportunities for aerosols to accumulate if the ventilation is poor. Most of these ventilation issues are addressable, sometimes by free or inexpensive methods, and sometimes by costly investments in infrastructure that should be a national priority.

When we go back to school, we'll meet students, they'll be full of chat and news. We'll discuss the crisis, they'll give their view on things, we'll do some work, we'll have a bit of craic to lighten the mood etc Parents will be free to contribute to the fabric of the school through the parents associations, BOMs or simply by picking up the phone. Students will be back to chatting bout soccer, GAA, what their siblings are at, how crap the weather was, the students who didn't engage in online learning will be told its good to see they've decided to come back to school etc. None of these aspects to student-teacher relationships are represented here. Students are quite funny and full of life, good craic to be around and we even get some work done too.
