[QUOTE="Max68, post: 2293085, member: 521172"] I don't think anyone doubts the importance of education for children, that's a given, but the Government are playing a game of let's see what happens and with experiments and data from the scientific community that proves absolutely nothing one way or another it's a dangerous game. This is the only link I can find re [SIZE=4]ONS figures reveal 65 COVID-related deaths in education workforce. Interestingly it's from early May and one has to realise for the three or so months that these statistics were based on a majority of schools would have been closed, bar those catering for key workers children or those with Care Plans.
