[QUOTE="Tannith, post: 2297456, member: 422465"] If the Govt made schools safe they could reopen. But Boris is doing the opposite - actually forbidding PPE. There are ways schools could be made safer. eg some countries are using conference centres,cinemas, public buildings and the like so that they can divide classes into smaller groups who can safely socially distance. And/or they could allow pupils back on alternate weeks or every 3/4 weeks as necessary to reduce crowding and enable social distancing. They could build perspex screens around the areas in classrooms where teachers stand. They could introduce weekly testing for all pupils and staff. They could build ventilation systems in classrooms or even require windows to be kept open. Above all, they could [B]require[/B] masks for all ,including the kids,not forbid them.The children probably wouldn't get very ill if they got covid, but many teachers would, especially the older ones. I think it is criminal of Boris to send them back into schools. Schools are one of the most risky workplaces for spreading covid. Even covid wards have ventilation and full PPE.Teachers have nothing to protect them. No wonder so many are trying to leave. I wish them success in their exodus. [/QUOTE]
