Now teachers sound alarm over plans to reopen schools

: “In light of recent changes to plans for relaxing lockdown measures, the government needs to provide greater clarity to school leaders, teachers and parents about what this will mean for the reopening of schools in September.”

Bloody unions will be the death of this country but they will expect fuel food and power to continue. Sorry but you have to man up and get back to work like the rest of us. Pubs and gyms pose a greater risk if your going to close anything these should be first

Stop overreacting, there have been only 300 deaths in under 40 year olds in England & Wales. There is basically zero risks for kids. Don't let a whole generation be damaged because old people are dying!

We need to forced the government to take action and give clarity. Children need to wear mask same as adult. Absolutely must wear mask in school. Many schools prohibited their students to come to school with a mask!!! BorisJohnson SadiqKhan michaelgove FeryalClark

According to an EdWeek Research Center survey, most teachers have reason to be worried: Forty-three percent say they personally have a high-risk condition, and nearly half say they live with someone who is at risk for serious illness due to COVID-19.

Let's prioririze the health and welfare of the students and teachers. We can't afford many lives to be at stake again because of one decision.

Dont blame the teachers they do a great job. Think time has come through we seriously need to think about living back to normal and living with the virus. Social distancing,washing hands,face coverings. We can not go on forever,everything needs to get working again.

I’m shocked to see how many people express their hate for the teachers. No wonder there are so many idiots in this country! What we need to focus on is to stop the virus spreading in the community and the school could be the hot spot. People are dying. Think hard.

The government don’t want you to know the true number of outbreaks at school environment. Even at primary schools the year 6 kids are above the safe zone. No way reopening the school in September unless they run classes outside.

Pubs or schools? And the comments in response are as usual so devisive and opinionated 🙄

Schools reopening is the biggie. Forget all else guys.

I wonder how many teachers refusing to do their jobs attended a 'black lives matter' mob...

Teachers expect supermarket shelf stackers to work, but refuse to themselves. Says a lot about them, and how important they actually think they are. Sack the lot, employ less political teachers.

Ok keep it shut downs. Just make sure you don’t pay them AND give the citizens a tax refund

Teachers were always alarmed to return with the ineffective, conflicting advice of this government

Stop this right now. Schools will be ready to open safely. Don’t let’s have any more fake news,

Isn't this why they are reacting to the upswing. Unfortunately the situation changes on a weekly if not daily rate. The government are planning to reopen schools but if in a months time the cases are continuing to rise then no doubt plans change.

There has been no recorded case of a teacher catching the coronavirus from a pupil anywhere in the world, according to one of the government’s leading scientific advisers, Mark Woolhouse, an epidemiologist and member of the government’s Sage committee.

So let's just keep the schools closed until this goes away then... I'm sure that will work...

Worst title for a Now album ever

If online teaching carries on we will seriously have to look at teachers pay. Kids mental health are seriously starting to suffer - I would rather shut pubs, and nail bars to get our kids back to school.

H_S_E just for clarification, how many and which other professions are being asked to work in indoor, enclosed spaces with poor ventilation, no social distancing, no ppe, the introduction of hot desking and coming into contact with several hundred people each day?

On the plus side this means that pubs now stay open. covidlogic dontask ledbydonkeys

Teachers should STRIKE! ALL of them! They cant fire everybody!!!

My school will be reopening, my sons will be reopening. I don't know a single teacher who is worried because we trust schools will be safe. The idiot unions complain at everything stop giving them air time. Hospital admissions down 35% in 2 weeks. Stop project fear & be positive

It’s okay. Daddy just told us kids don’t get it and don’t pass it on. Surely Daddy wouldn’t lie.

Teachers should not get paid to stay at home.

FOR FUCK'S SAKE, KIDS ALL OVER THE WORLD GO TO SCHOOL IN WARS, FAMINES, AND FLOODS AND WE APPLAUD THEM WHILE THE WEST COWER LIKE MINDLESS CRY BABIES OVER A FRIGGING COLD VIRUS, SHAME ON YOU LOSERS.

One persons infects 71 others by using an elevator. In there for 60 seconds and 71 people get infected. 260 test positive at a kids summer camp in America. Camping! Outdoors! This will tear through schools. It’s not safe.

In the Netherlands primary school are open since May and all is fine. Teachers keep a good distance from one and other, but with the kids it’s difficult. So far so good.

Schools out forever

Reagan fired the air traffic controllers, Trump should fire the teachers!

They should be happy to have the chance to continue indoctrinating our children. What’s their problem? Are they afraid of a cough?
