with all honesty parents should not be fined, if they are still too scared of sending their children back to school

quite a few parents here in Netherlands still keep their children at home, because they don't feel comfortable yet sending them to school this soon

Very sensible too as to your last paragraph.

If I was a Parent.
Not a chance if things are even as they are now come September, would I be permitting my children to go to school.

Not with social distancing now only advised not enforced.
Not a chance, no way.

It does seem like it’s all being driven by financial reasons

Based on what science?


And as this is 2 months away can you take that into account with the evidence for stopping your kids education

I really don't know why you waste your time asking me anything.
Especially since the answer is there.
It isn't about science for crying out loud.

If you read it properly.

I state very clearly '' IF things are as they are now come September''.

I also clearly state, '' IF I was a parent''.

As I have no children so no need for you to worry on that score.
Thank you.

So if people are still scared in a years time its ok for kids to still be at home and not at school? Sorry i don't agree with that.

Kids went to school during the swine flu pandemic and that affected a younger age group, Covid does not affect kids in any meaningful numbers any more than getting meningitis, or tonsilities or sepsis, parents don't keep their kids off because they might risk getting those, the only parents who should have concerns is if they or a child have been shielding

[Ammi]

...I think for many/most schools, who may feel reluctance from parents to send their children back in September...it’ll be about building up the trusts and reassurances and not alienating through fines...fines have always had head teacher discretion and they’ll know what the general mindset of their parents is at the time...

If I was a Parent genuinely scared for my child's welfare in any scenario.
I wouldn't be prepared to put them in any risk whatsoever.

If things are as they are now in a years time, IF and you don't know if they will be or not.
Then if any Parents are scared now, then they will be then.

For me, the removal of social distancing in schools being enforced to now only advised.
Is a dangerous risk and I wouldn't support that.

These children not social distancing will be out in the community after school.
Back to families, older and younger members.
Travelling on school buses or other transport.

If I was a Parent, I'd be really worried indeed.

I am a parent and one of mine has been going to school most of time during all this Joey, IF a child has underlying illnesses I fully understand not sending them ,but I really don't think keeping them off indefinitely is helpful to their wellbeing or education ,some children are vulnerable and are safer at school ,it's a hard one it's up to each individual, but by September I think most of them should be back, that's just my opinion.

Has your child been going into classes with NO social.distancing and a full classroom too.

Like they will be come September.

Everybody thinks they should be back.
With the maximum safety however.

They've had them back in Leicester now they've had to close schools again.
You say there's no risk.
I think there's too.much doubt there isn't.

It is up to each individual.
There'll be good Parents who believe there's no risk.
There'll be equally good Parents who are scared and believe there is risks.

Shielding stops in August too.
More vulnerable sick and elderly likely out and about.
Mingling with schoolchildren with no masks and not doing social distancing in schools.
Once out of school.

Doesn't sound promising to me in any shape or form.
