My friend is a part time primary teacher (works 3 days a week). She does 1:1 work with two children with EHCPs. The school is in a ‘rough’ area and neither of the children’s parents work YET she’s been deemed a key worker and will have to go in for 3 days whilst her three kids are looked after at our school??

If their parents don't work but are low income families, that means they're entitled to free school meals... Does that mean they can stay in school?
I'm not sure of the criteria as my two aren't in school but wondering if that's the reason?

No. Both sets of parents are vulnerable so avoiding them.
Divorce lawyers
100% agree with everything you're saying. I'm so ashamed of a lot of people in my generation. I always have said I was born in the wrong one. I care so so much about older people...and the elderly are the ones who have gotten us through 2 wars, now it's our time to get them through this one.I am 25 and I hate to say it but as a generation we are generally extremely selfish and focussed on our own instant gratification.
Recently becoming diagnosed with an illness has changed my perspective on life and I have had a full reckoning about how arrogant people my age are and what actually matters in life.
My boyfriend is twice my age and honestly the difference in attitudes is crazy between our generations. I enjoy it though. He and I have both agreed that although this situation is awful, it will open a lot of millennial eyes to what is truly difficult in life. The woke warriors who spend all of their time arguing about the different branches of feminism for example, are about to find out what real hardship is. I believe in gender equality before any comes at me but let’s me real about what truly matters - because it isn’t which branch of feminism is better than another one.
Cant we see our parents if we arnt isloating? Im confused....or pissed.
Social distancing applies if you don’t have any symptoms. So if you don’t need to visit them, don’t. If you need to visit then basically try to do so in a way that keeps you at least 2m away from them. So for example drop some provisions on their doorstep, ring doorbell take 3 big steps back from the doorway and blow them a kiss and wave when they open the door. You don’t want to go inside as in case you are carrying any Corona germs (you could have no symptoms but still be infectious) then they could be on anything that you touch i.e door handle, kettle, coffee cups
Today I had a chat with my boss as I suffer with severe asthma and I work in a supermarket, so we will never close during this pandemic. I asked him what I should do regarding my asthma, as according to BoJo, anyone with underlying health conditions are to isolate themselves etc etc. Well my boss turned around to me today and said ‘because you’re young and fit and your asthma is under control, you shouldn’t worry about it’. This asthma has put me in hospital in resuss and I now have a 10 month old daughter to care for. I’m so upset he’s replied with this comment, especially because I have had to deal with people on the shop floor and checkouts 10x more than we normally would. Basically Sainsburys don’t give a duck about us 
Sorry catching up. Thank you. I teach in a college. I had to self isolate unexpectedly on Tuesday when my youngest fell ill at school and I had to go get him. I left behind all my year 13 students who were preparing to start their 15 hour exam (Art). I cried in my classroom as i was gathering my stuff, and set a few kids off too. All day today I have been getting emails from my kids saying thank you, they are being amazing. But I am still so so gutted, I feel cheated out of a proper goodbye
I don't need discounts or anything, but teachers are getting a bit of a bashing at the minute, people calling us lazy and saying we get enough holidays already. I want to be at work, so keeping my fingers crossed this calms down asap. I know I am extremely lucky to be being paid, so I don't want to sound ungrateful (my husband is self employed, so defo grateful for my wage!) but I've very shocked at the speed of it all.
Now for weeks on end trying to homeschool my own kids. Primary teachers definitely have it harder!!
Don't break my (married with 3 kids) heart. Nobody needs to hear about his marriage at a time like this. We need hopeSorry, he's married with 2 kids
I honestly think there are idiots in every generation. Millennials/ Gen Z are no worse than other generations (except boomers, they really piss me off sometimes!)
just kidding, love you all, just don’t call me a snowflake

No idea if this is any good as I’m not a teacher but a quick google showed up this for teachers...

Maybe it helps some? Still remember my favourite teachers and can’t thank you all enough

her job is probably quite stressful right now but as you’ve said about going on a night out then she doesn’t seem like one of those that deserves the free foodA girl I went to school with works as admin at a hospital and has been posting all the free food she’s managed to get by showing her NHS ID today..now she’s going on a night out tonight!honestly couldn’t write this tit.
So.…...alcohol update.
1) In my town its business as usual, everyone is in party mode.
2) My daughter lives in a city, and her friend (who works in a pub) has been called in to help drink the pub dry so it doesn't go off during closedown time.
3) I have bought a bottle of wine and am cosily at home drinking it watching star trek.

I agree. I’m an 80s child and I’m used to a bit of tough love. Certainly young people now are so used to instant gratification
Needs must! I’ve mixed pineapple vodka with Diet Coke beforeI'm concerned that I'm running low on tonic water for my Gin and I don't want to go to the supermarket so I'm using elderflower something or other.
