Just be thankful this virus doesn't effect them (directly)
Agreed, but children are known to be super spreaders so whilst they may not get it bad, those they come into contact with before 9am and after 3pm can and will.
If the school year is dead, then come out and say that, don't play games with people.

Get your kids home.
Spend time and teach them as much as you can.
The world they'll see once they leave school will be very different to the one we had.

I thought it was pretty simple, maybe I need to run around in circles banging my head against a wall looking for the answers.

I find it outrageous that people expect a perfect process in a situation that is largely unprecedented.....just chill out and offer support.

We will do the basics with the kids, the school mentioned we should focus on religion, maths and English...cant imagine religion is going to get much airplay.
