COVID-19 — Coronavirus

[BlueHammer85]

Sorry to hear that mate. Some heads are great, others not so - much like any other boss.

Hope you get it sorted, there's no way she should be expected to go in.

yeh no chance going back. Just her general attitude that’s the annoyance.

 

[Indaparkside]

yeh I think so, she has bad sciatica aswell.
School has loads of teachers currently working with few children. And the headteacher is trying to make my Mrs come in a month before due date.

That sciatica is a right fucker run her a bath and get the old massage going when I get it I’m laid up for a couple of months with epidural injections

Public sector workers are saving our lives you plank

Teachers are saving our lives? As that is who I was referring to.

Plank.

She’s struggling and and some selfish **** is out running for his 501st day on the trot....

 

[Stoned Rose]

Same here, mostly. Especially with sports stuff. I will have a look around for some decent articles on health, fitness, and other news but mostly just get it from here.

Many sages walk amongst us on here.

 

[Uncle Wally One Ball]

My wife is one month away from her due date.

The head teacher has emailed her saying she needs a medical note If she does not want to return from June.

Much unneeded stress.

No stress attached to that mate, it's just HR. Got to be done. It's process that is all. Chill

Find it staggering that some teachers are moaning. Really wonder whether some of them want to work at all.
They get more time off than most people yet they still are not happy.
I asked 1 the other day that I know and they said they didnt want to go back and are halt to stay at home watching tv all day.
Coronavirus isn't prevalent in children so what's their issue?
Get back to work like the rest of us.

Why don’t you become a teacher then?
...also teachers are working from home, planning lessons, marking etc..

I take it you’re from the ‘bloody teachers got it easy’ brigade.

pathetic.

That is out of order,tell him she has a cough

Schools and Teachers need to take charge and determine what is possible in the circumstances and constraints they face. Government guidelines, in turn, need to be flexible enough to allow schools that discretion. By the time English schools return, schools in certain European countries will have been back nearly a month, or more, so there is adequate experience and evidence there from which to learn.

Mad how these teachers don't want to go back to work but are happy for the shelf stackers in Tesco working.

It's alright for public sector workers wanting to stay in lockdown, they still get paid, unlike the private sector.

What the fuck is furloughing then? I’ve been going into work since lockdown, yet there are loads getting more than me on furlough for doing fuck all in the private sector. It’s not a race to the bottom you know but next up like I’ve seen with Littlejohns comments we all have gold plated pensions and private sector doesn’t and have lost loads, the NHS are hiring if you fancy it.

A lot of us in the public sector are working. So give over with the ill-informed shite.

Yeah I think Bluematt is talking shit. Most teachers including my 9 year old's are putting in the time. Online work always marked on time. Now they have to plan for the return. Difficult and worrying for them.

A couple of points. Firstly, shelf stackers can social distance whilst doing their work. There is almost no chance that there can be effective social distancing in a classroom. Secondly, whilst I am sure teachers may be happy for shelf stackers to work, I suspect most would not demand that shelf stackers work against their will if they thought they were working in unsafe conditions.

Plank.

Well they have been looking after kids of NHS staff and enabling them to work so they have certainly been contributing to lives being saved. I see where this is going - teachers have been part of the key workforce getting clapped every week for the valuable contribution they have made so far during this pandemic but any day now dim wits are going to start calling them traitors, egged on by The Mail.

Well put, some people cannot see the bigger picture, maybe he had some bad experiences in the clasroom

You tried to make it public versus private workers, proper daily mail stuff,teachers have been in looking after public service key workers kids so they can go save lives,teachers have been told they don't need ppe and can social distance kids,clearly they have something to say about that

You have a point

 

[MCFC_ Phil]

You have a point

Which one?

 

[HelloCity]

You have a point

Turns out I didn’t misjudge.

 

[BlueAnorak]

Turns out I didn’t misjudge.

I certainly haven't misjudged you either.
If the economy doesn't restart as soon as it can, we're all fucked. To restart we need schools open. The longer we wait the more likely we will to be fucked. I'm sure you'll love the massive unemployment that may come with it.
I understand fears about safety but just saying no is not the right approach.
