My wife and I have decided that our children will not be going back to school in September. The UK Govt has proved their inability to protect people effectively and show little acumen. It's not scientifically safe and there is not even a shell of a plan in the UK.

looks like she means business, good job she did not represent the nhs

The last zoom meeting was mid July, and there isn't one scheduled until the end of August. The context here is before the June reopening.

So disappointed with this. As a member of the NEU I have been disgusted with their actions during this. They don’t speak on behalf of me and many other members. We want to be back teaching!

These cretins must think they're the British version of American dems. And they're as useless as a fart in a collander too.

I do hope the teachers against schools reopening haven't been to the beach, a pub, a restaurant... wouldn't want them to be hypocrites 🙈

They either go back or teachers should be fired with cause.

Ok so those teachers that dont feel 'safe' going into work do their lessons on line ..live..and get paid by the' union' not the LEA

NEUnion and Mary Bousted is typical of everything that is wrong with the country today. No clue about facts. Teachers just need to ignore these brain washed sheep.

Let’s face it. They just don’t want work. They like this permanent “holiday”. Saves them from having to make much of an effort to actually earn their pay. As usual the children suffer at the hands of the selfish teachers union.

Well, I hope the teachers' pay rise is delayed too. Or, better still, cancelled.

That face tells it all

Sack the lot of the sponging shits

‘threats’ to get kids back into education? Wow! She’s lost the plot

Any teachers without a pre existing medical condition or who are over 60 years old who refuse to return to work in September should be fired as would be the case in the private sector. These people are public servants they're not doing us a favour it's a job and they get paid.

Education is the key to narrowing the gap between rich and poor. The unions incentives are not in line with this, as a leader from America said ‘kids don’t pay union dues’.

Stop paying them then. simples

Shame on her and any teachers who follow the NEU's political destruction of education!

Being a caretaker and not having a day off since Xmas I shall enjoy my few weeks holiday before September if you don't mind. Jesus.

Don't pay them, its simple.

If the scumbag unions stop kids going back to school then a lot of teachers will be surplus to requirements and therefore have no right to draw a salary. We can always sack the lazy sods I suppose.

So don't pay teacher who won't work and then start disciplinary action to sack them. There will be plenty of willing people to replace them

The state of that. Just stinks of a Corbyn cultist.

Is she sucking a lemon😀

Sack any teachers who refuse to go to work

Not one single teacher in the entire world has caught Covid from a pupil. Zero. We need to keep the teachers safe and get the infection rate from pupil to teacher well below zero before we can even think about reopening any schools anywhere. 🙃

You know her politics just on sight

If only the Government could do what Ronald Reagan did to the US air traffic controllers back in the 80s

Lazy duckers

Stop paying them.

You don’t care about children. That’s been my experience of the NEU.

Theyve had the biggest pay rise 🙈 nurses like myself on the other hand🤷‍♀️

Shut the front door Mary, schools are going back. Huge attainment gap, some teachers should be disgusted with how they worked in the summer term, doing minimal work. That’s robbing the Taxpayer. More chance of a kid getting hit by lightening than dying from covid!

there are many young qualified teachers looking for work ,it’s time the government allowed those who want to work to get on and those who don’t to leave

The government can't have it both ways. Covid19 is either still a present danger, or it isn't. The gov want the whole country cowering in fear, while at the same time telling select parts of it, that there's nothing to worry about. 🤪

How does MaryBoustedNEU sleep at night.Totally out of touch with public as usual.Public hope government WILL find a way and sack their sorry arses.If they are still taking furlough money it should stop immediately.Bunch of socialist nut jobs who fill kids heads with nonsense.

Instead of blabberibg why cannt I gt my test result it's been 5 days

We have a centre-right government with a massive majority and we are being ruled by the far-left. Get a fucking grip BorisJohnson

Lazy NUTers.

the face of evil

Any teacher who does not turn up for work on th designated day should be seen as having resigned and pay should be stopped immediately. Then see how many turn up.

The teaching unions should be ashamed of themselves ! Our children are being abandoned by them for political reasons only! And I was a teacher I feel embarrassed by the teaching profession!! After what the doctors and nurses have done

These unions are the ones creating problems . I hope the teachers defy them. I met a mother whose children go to a private school and she said thank God their school doesn’t have these silly Union problem.

This is getting ever more nuts. My son was able to go back to school start of June and loved it. Definitely the best thing to do and those parents who chose not to at the time later regretted it. If you care about kids and our future, this shouldn't even be discussion point.

Lots of cantankerous old men in this thread who clearly have no link to kids in education. Teachers WORK FROM HOME on lockdown and have done so since March! The cries of “no work no pay” are very amusing. 🤦🏻‍♂️🤣

Just fire them

And on what money does she expect her members to survive on? Furlough is slowly winding down, as although brilliant, it’s not possible to fund for an Indefinite period. Surely schools can be made as safe is it’s possible to make them.

No work...no pay. This would soon see the teachers return.

Schools will be ordered to open otherwise the government will stop supplying them with money. Once the kids go back, their parents can get back to work in the office instead of staying at home.

Sinister.... A creepy crawly scary Mary 🤮🤮

ScumMedia

Does she remind anyone else of Mr Spock?

How ugly can you get.

Like I have said before, if you pay people for doing nothing, they will do nothing for as long as they can. Its simple! if I don't go to work my rent won't get paid so i go to work

where are we the 12th century?

Most kids have learned day trading and organic farming techniques by now so no need to got back to skool really

Teachers are just indoctrinators anyway and this myth that covid and children does not have repercussions is a lie. They spread any virus like crazy that’s always been the problem! It’s very difficult for governments as your dammed if you do or don’t.

That creature is a Yellow, a trainist from training colleges purporting to be for teaching...the worst bitch*s in the world.

Boris made a mistake paying teachers to stay at home, as it's now given the unions a lever to use against him.

These idiots will kill the economy and they we'll ALL suffer. Suspend their pay. If I refused to pay the portion of my taxes to pay for her salary no doubt she'd be triggered. They work for us!

Schools should and will reopen. I am close to a lot of teachers who are all desperate to get back. Kids need to be back in to school! This talk of them not opening is bloody ridiculous. All local schools planning to reopen fully and I’m confident they will do.

I think we need to bring back some of the old strike breakers.

Kids going to school is a threat? Jeez

and wtf is Eddie Izzard doing working for a teachers union?

I got in to my line of work because I believed in it’s cause and importance and I wanted to help people and make a difference. I thought teachers cared about children? Just let the kids go back to school ffs. Covid isn’t going to disappear.

The government do not want to reopen schools. Smashing the economy and closing schools was deliberate. I'm pretty sure the unions are doing as they've been told.

Stop their pay if they won't do the job that they're paid to do. Only exceptions for those shielding.

🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

Give the teachers a pay cut and give that money to NHS staff instead. Better still, sack the lot of them

This is utter rubbish! Get the schools open, this has gone on for long enough !!!! School age children are not a risk and never have been

For God sake just let the kids go to school!

Increasingly clear that teachers are not essential workers.

Schools should reopen

They can walk to school. The buses should be used by people who has to go to work and are not fit enough to walk I’ve seen many children just using the bus for a few stops and they are obese This would be a good way to avoid crowded buses and stop obesity Bet they do... Schools should be within walking distance. Why are children travelling so far, I see them on my local bus passing many schools before they reach theirs?
