Loads of parents CBA to deal with their kids again so are making up all sorts of shite so they don’t have to be at home with them all day!I’m sure this was the rule before? In Lockdown 1
Once again you have no idea what’s going on in this family. It sounds like this child is classed as vulnerable and that’s why they are in school. That could be because they have additional needs or they are at risk. You have no idea and it’s none of your business anyway. I’d imagine they are hiding because they area aware of attitudes like this.One of my neighbours has lied and somehow got her kid into school and her other kid into nursery.
She is at home all day, her husband goes to work most days. They are selfish, ignorant and just annoy me so much with everything they've done. (Long story)
One day I was leaving to go out for a walk and she must have told her kid to hide so I didn't see her in her school uniform (even though they know we know)..
I saw her through the hedge crouching down behind their shed. I waited a little while just to see, as soon as they heard me leaving, the kid ran up from the shed and hurried in.
She has also tried in other ways to hide the fact she has her in school. They really have no shame no morals and no conscience.
Not fair is it. Could you speak to the head and see if his additional needs could get him a space?I’m a keyworker but my partner works from home so we don’t get a place. Which is fine for my eldest in year 6 but my youngest is ASD/ADHD so needs one to one for schooling which I can’t give whilst working. I understand the rules entirely but feel as though he’s going to really suffer.
I would suggest if you’re getting letters like that then not all the kids need to be there. My school sends them because whilst the kids are entitled to be there under the one parent key worker rule and can’t technically be denied a place there is also another parent at home in many cases not working.I can't say whether a lot of the kids going are truly vunerable or not or if both of the parents are key workers and can't work around each other. But my gut and speculation from the percentage at my sons school. Middle class, extremely affulent area the fact that 56% of the children are attending school tells me that some of those children should be at home. The head keeps sending letters asking parents to consider whether they truly need to be i school. I was talking to a friend and she was defenfing her friends decision to send her 2 to school 2 days a week and to the childcare bubble the other day as she works 3 days a week. I said i didn't agree that was necessary and we haven't spoken since. oops
Not all schools ask for proof. Plenty lie about their jobs to get their pupils a place. Plenty of teachers on Twitter have told stories of their schools having to refuse pupils places as they aren’t key workers. Everyone seems to be classed as a key worker in this lockdown.There is also no way you can ‘lie‘ to get your child into school because they will have made sure that they have proof of key worker status before offering a place.
This is rife at my school. Generally the mum is a key worker and the dad is working from home.- one child of a solicitor was forced into school by parents so she could work from home in peace
I work from home and am a keyworker working for a local authority. I spend 7-8 hours on external zoom calls as does my husband (who has to attend building sites at short notice due to H&S issues, and also has to present live committtee items on you tube to a public audience).This is rife at my school. Generally the mum is a key worker and the dad is working from home.
In that case absolutely send them in. You’re both key workers, go for it. One situation in my bubble at school is Dad is a doctor, Mum is a stay at home parent WITH A NANNY. All three of her kids are in. It’s also not an isolated case. If all parents were being honest about whether there is absolutely no other option then those that really don’t have an option wouldn’t feel like they are scrutinised.I work from home and am a keyworker working for a local authority.

We literally can’t supervise our children, never mind homeschool.
We also can’t work evenings as we have to be available and responsive during business hours.
Thankfully both my employer and head teacher have been understanding of this. Again, people have no idea of the situations of others work.
We are both using annual leave so our daughter isn’t in school full time.
I know that colleagues working from home on family court for example have been told point blank that children have to be at school they are not exposed to the safeguarding cases in the hone and can’t hear the cases as it’s traumatic. How do you know parents who are solicitors aren’t working on similar cases?
Don’t disagree but as a parent, trying to do my best (and use my own annual leave to minimise my attendance) the constant blanket accusations are really frustrating.In that case absolutely send them in.

There are obviously people like you and others who are sensibly sending their kids in. However, there is a large percentage in my school and others where parents are taking the piss.
The reason for keyworker bubbles in the last lockdown was so that the NHS and other public services could continue to run, I’m sorry but my personal experience this time suggests that that goal has been forgotten by quite a few people.
They can’t because the government won’t allow it. I get how you’re feeling. I feel the same about the lazy teacher comments.Don’t disagree but as a parent, trying to do my best (and use my own annual leave to minimise my attendance) the constant blanket accusations are really frustrating.
Schools should target those taking the piss rather than making everyone feel like a criminal.
