I absolutely agree with you here and I would not like to ask parents for money for classroom cleaning supplies (but then I don’t buy my own, so it’s easy for me to say that). I’ve often thought that the INTO should run a campaign highlighting the realities of school underfunding. I think if people saw how little is provided for by the state they’d be up in arms. Now before someone tells me to start it up, I have actually taken that to the INTO before and got nowhere.

The purpose of the series was to show people how to manage their finances and to budget more efficiently. The only time he had to admit defeat was in the school. He couldn’t balance the budget.

I tend to ignore that as its not beneficial either . I must say thankfully when mine were young that parents and teacher really pulled together and it was lovely . Possibly it is not so now but in my own area I see quite a lot of support for teachers still

grind gremlin wrote: » In younger classes, the issue is kids coughing, sneezing, putting objects in their mouth, spitting when the speak excitedly or shout out answer, not understanding personal space and being in each other’s faces. The biggest risk is the children’s behaviour. Giving everything a good scrub when they leave is definitely good practice but I fear it won’t be enough if children are packed in a lot classes as they always have been.
coffeyt wrote: » I appreciate that behaviour is going to be an issue but it was an idea I was floating as there were discussion on previous posts related to cleaning and was wondering if the foggers would be an option to make sure all nooks and crannies were disinfected?
grind gremlin wrote: » It would definitely be a good idea. Anything that helps us keep our classrooms clean is definitely welcomed. I wonder how long each cycle takes. It would be great if it could be run at intervals throughout the day while children went outside. Keeping them in class all day is asking for trouble.
