You've a lot more faith in the thinking behind these policies than I'll ever have Cherie.
If he's intending to see Parents fined for absence from school.
You said, Parents could say they were ill.
This government doesn't take the word of Doctors on adults anymore.
I can't see where proof the child had symptoms or had it via a test, would not have to be the case to avoid possible fining of Parents..
While it's true some Parents will not be doing always the best for their children.
I'd expect the vast majority of Parents want the best for their children.
That they want them safe, secure and no health risks.
Yes, there'll be Parents who just let their children go back to school believing the government they are safe.
Equally so, there'll be Parents, no less caring who genuinely are concerned for the safety and health of their children.
During this pandemic, for those Parents, in my view, threats of fines are not the nicest rhetoric to use.
I'm sure, or I hope, those Parents happy for their children to return to school, are not hailed above those Parents with genuine concerns who would be nervous wrecks worrying while their child was forced to be in school
During this pandemic,both of those scenarios of Parents, doesn't make either of the sets of Parents better than the other.
Threats of fines, I believe in my view, to be an unnecessary and wrong line to take against Parents.
Just my view.
I obviously haven't any children but I worry for my great Nephews and Nieces.
In this current climate at this moment in time, had I any children of my own.
They would not be going back to school in even September for me.
Unless their full safety, security and health in relation to this virus, was guaranteed.
