I think it’s absolute madnessGod!
Have you seen the news that South Korea have had to re-shut their schools not long after reopening them due to a spike?
I honestly have big reservations about schools going back. I know up here in Scotland they are going for a mid August return.
Any English parents on here... what’s your thoughts about your schools reopening sooner?
I don’t think it’s safe enough yet so have said no to school for next week. I said that depending how the infection rate goes I may look to send back before the end of the school year but I think that’s unlikely at the moment.God!

I hate admitting this because I have received backlash personally. I am sending mine in. I believe it’s for the best for them. I have spoken to the school, I’m happy with the measures taking place and I’m happy to get a bit of a routine/new surroundings etc into my children’s lives. I can see how much it has affected them (although appreciate other children deal with things differently)God!

I feel sad that you’ve received backlash over this. I don’t have children but as I see it there’s no wrong or right here because we are all still learning and the government are saying it’s safe but aren’t enforcing it. I really wish people would be respectful of other people’s decisions. A blatant breach of lockdown rules clearly has a right or wrong aspect to it but the return to schools is very much taking steps in the dark and trying to do your best.I hate admitting this because I have received backlash personally.

I know there are many that do not agree but this is a decision I am making for my family and I believe it’s for the best for us.
There should be no judgement. You know your children best and trust your judgement in what is best for them in this situation. I’d probably send my boy back in if he didn’t have asthma as I know he misses his friends and is an only child so the social aspect is hard for him. I’m hoping that in a few weeks school has coped will with the changes and the infection rate doesn’t rise then I’ll be with you sending him in.I hate admitting this because I have received backlash personally.

Please just because my veiw is I don't wish to send mine in that in judging your decision.I hate admitting this because I have received backlash personally. I am sending mine in.

oh no not at all, and likewise I would never dream to judge. We are all doing what’s right for our families and no one should preach to another.Please just because my veiw is I don't wish to send mine in that in judging your decision.
My neighbours sending their kids back as the mum is factory so keyworker and dad a decorarator they currently relying in a freind who lives opposite to babysit.
I get the fact they need income they not UK nationals.so so unsure what benefits they be entitled too.
My 2 nearest councils are leaving it up to the head teachers to decide.
I think that's right as depending if you live rural or urban school could look very different.
Some schools are brand new builds with large classrooms and wide corridors.
Others are much older with narrow corridors and cramped classrooms even cupboards have been adapted to teach music lessons or one to one support with ta.
Schools also come with varying outdoor space some have multiple entrances and exits others have just 1.
I live in a city and 1 school nearby is 4 form intake 120 a year at least 24 classrooms but not huge amount outdoor space.
My eldest goes to inner city senior school and the adjacent newish primary is new build but no outdoor space they have get coach to green space for pe and they play in the senior school tennis courts.
Seen some schools London have rod top play areas.
The demand for school places has been huge.
My son's school is small village school old house like building Victorian tiny playgrounds plus couple portacabins.
They decided despite tiny amount kids they can't open wider year groups as they don't have enough space to socially distance so not accepting r year 1 or year 6 yet daughters junior school is accepting all year 6s back as they more modern school they only expected have 1 year group back and keyworkers so have the space but they not hugely happy.
Sept I will reveiw the science and risk assess.
thank you so much xI feel sad that you’ve received backlash over this. I don’t have children but as I see it there’s no wrong or right here because we are all still learning and the government are saying it’s safe but aren’t enforcing it.

You’re completely right. I don’t think there is anything wrong with discussion, but there is some judgement. We are all doing what is right by our families.There should be no judgement. You know your children best and trust your judgement in what is best for them in this situation. I’d probably send my boy back in if he didn’t have asthma as I know he misses his friends and is an only child so the social aspect is hard for him. I’m hoping that in a few weeks school has coped will with the changes and the infection rate doesn’t rise then I’ll be with you sending him in.
Things like this always divide people but there shouldn’t be backlash for it. Your decision is based on love for your children
Just want to have a quick rant cause I'm sick of people judging constantly!! I don't have kids so I wouldn't want to say what I'd do either way but judgement is ridiculous!!oh no not at all, and likewise I would never dream to judge. We are all doing what’s right for our families and no one should preach to another.
I’ve had people tell me I’m using my kids as guinea pigs. I appreciate people have their own views and that’s great, just don’t like being made to feel I’m a crap parent for making this decision.
I hope we all get to a point where we are happy and not fearful of making decisions soon x
thank you so much x
I agree with you completely. I suppose people are passionate with their opinions, just sad that it can make others feel like their parenting isn’t up to scratch
