I really feel for parents who are going to struggle for childcare.
I really feel for parents who are going to struggle for childcare.That's what our school did last time and even then they were only allowed to attend on days the parent(s) were working.
Local primary has shut for 2 weeks (announced yesterday) and they are only letting children take a keyworker spot if it's both parents or single parent. I've seen a few posts on facebook about it today.
I was exacty with this way of thinking thinking...back in March I had 2024 in my head as when things would start picking up. And you're right the vaccines have come a lot quicker which is Fab. I was expecting this time of year to be awful so I suppose being pessimistic has its virtues.I think the reason why I’m able to stay optimistic is because I have had it in my head since the summer that this would probably be at least 2 years.
I expected this winter to be awful (which it has and will continue to be). The vaccine has come sooner than I thought.
I dunno, I remember back in July/August seeing that graphic about how most pandemics last about 2 years and I have sort of just accepted that.
I actually think it’s more naive to think this will never end. Or just very self important to think this will be some huge world changing event in any really significant way. (Like we will never travel or have large events again, etc).
All the other struggles that have come before have made small changes, (wars, pandemics, etc) but most things have endured over hundreds if not thousands of years.
BBC News are saying from midnight tonight. But going through Parliament Wednesday so I thought from Thursday. Who knowsAre new rules going to come into place tomorrow or Wednesday or Thursday?
Wont know till 8. Id imagine wednesdayAre new rules going to come into place tomorrow or Wednesday or Thursday?
They may change things this time, I don't know. To be honest the head teachers probably don't know yet either.I really feel for parents who are going to struggle for childcare.
It always does me as well, i cant wait to get home and see whats happning, even though i can pretty much guess.I don’t know why these announcements put me on edge. I’ve been watching the clock since 3pm. Dreading it even though I know what to expect
They honestly make me so anxious! I have tons of work to be doing but cant do anything because I'm so jittery waitingI don’t know why these announcements put me on edge. I’ve been watching the clock since 3pm. Dreading it even though I know what to expect
I would say this is correct too. As it will be work from home unless you're a key worker? For example my husband works and I am a stay at home mum so if my husband was a key worker I would be able to stay home to care for the children if schools are shut. I think it makes sense for both parents having to be key workers as no one is at home to be able to look after the child(ren)My manager at work seems to think key worker children in schools have to have BOTH parents key workers. Is this true? I feel like she’s giving false info out.
Agree completely. we need a different approach for me.I used to be optimistic but can’t really see the light at the end of the tunnel anymore due to being so burnt out/disappointed. Feel like we’re going around in circles now.
I do think we will see a gradual loosening of restrictions this year though as the vaccine is rolled out. Just not a true ‘end’ for a while yet.I’ve been the same despite friends and family telling me I shouldn’t take it so seriously and that it’ll all end sooner than that!
Same I had to call it a day at 3!They honestly make me so anxious! I have tons of work to be doing but cant do anything because I'm so jittery waiting
Yea this is true in most cases (I’m a teacher) in lockdown 1 they were trying to keep as many children in school as possible but this time it’s the opposite so being strict with the rules. Although if the other parent still has to GO to work then I don’t see why your child wouldn’t be able to attend schoolMy manager at work seems to think key worker children in schools have to have BOTH parents key workers. Is this true? I feel like she’s giving false info out.
If they close schools from Wednesday/Thursday though,Wont know till 8. Id imagine wednesday
