Of course the main reason for this extended opening of schools is to provide child care so that their long-suffering parents can get back to work. Why else?

They're scared children will fall behind? Cobblers. For one, it's a bit late, for another, we'll only get about 50% back if we're lucky(?) and for a third, we'll be teaching very little of importance anyway.

They're worried about children's mental well-being? Again, bollox. What do they think it's going to do to children (particularly young children) when they're being taught day after day in groups they weren't familiar with, with a a teacher that may well not be theirs, in an unfamiliar classroom, on an unfamiliar timetable and in an environment where half their classmates still aren't running the risk of encountering? What do we say to children when they ask why they're back in school and their friends are not?

It's an economic decision. Plain and simple.
