    It sounds as if you are trying to be smart - maybe you are not it’s hard to tell but some classes have more than 1 staff member and only one device. Some of our classes have 3 staff per class.

    No, but in a classroom that has had 32 kids in it all day, if I have to sit in a meeting I'm wearing a mask.

    8 to 14 minutes is the estimated range for the max time aerosolise for particles can remain suspended in the air

    Did they announce something about schools closing earlier for Christmas on Drivetime?

    A leak of tomorrow's announcement. I was sure I heard the 16th as against formerly the 19th. The 18h would make sense as against the current 23rd.
    Anyone heard anything?

    Any teachers on here in schools that have had inspectors in for subject inspections? Just heard of a school having a two-day SESE inspection this week.

    I'm ok with the Child Protection & Safeguarding inspections going ahead but all other standard inspections should be postponed, in my opinion.

    Thats mad that can't work.

    They won't be able to pick up copybook, journal to check work.

    If class is already at capacity then they shouldn't be in room.

    I cant see it working.

    It’s awful. Firstly the schools in poorer areas are so poorly funded. Secondly the neighbourhoods they serve have children crying out for the safety of school & a way out of their living hell. It’s so wrong private schooling is continuing at pace while public in many states is halted. Should be the same for all.

    How is it wrong?

    Cork school to close for two weeks as 17 children test positive for Covid-19
    Outbreaks in schools are continuing to prove problematic for the health authorities however, who maintain that transmission in schools is not a cause for concern

    They must have been using some sort of door bell system.

    Who as claimed there wouldn't be or haven't been outbreaks in schools? No one. So yet again we have people inventing a scenario to argue against and tell themselves how right they were.

    Also from the article.
    According to official statistics produced on a daily basis by the Health Protection Surveillance Centre, some 54%, or 3,163, of cases involving children aged 14 and under were recorded in October, the second month for which schools were open following the first wave of the virus.

    Is that accurate?

    41% of total cases to the end of October occurred in October. Kids were not getting tested in the spring. So that number is in no way surprising.
