    IT’S A DISGRACE. My sis-in-law is a primary school teacher at breaking point. She gives virtual lessons & also actual lessons to kids of key workers who still come into school. Her younger staff are too ‘stressed’ & are off work. She also has 2 of her own kids at home.

        Most of her pupils don’t have the right laptops - they’ve been promised by the Govt but haven’t ever arrived. She is also expected to clean the school as the cleaners won’t come in. On top of that she has to phone those kids not reporting to school and then go around to their...

        My wife is in the same position and feels badly let down by the government. The latest line that kids who are unable to learn at home should go into school simply undermines the whole point of lockdown and puts school staff at greater risk. It’s madness.

        My wife’s school is having to turn kids away now as they’re so full and can’t keep to any measures if they let more in. Any kid can now go back in it seems #mixedmessaging. Teachers need vaccinations @BorisJohnson

        As an ex-teacher with many family still in teaching I'd like to agree with you 100%, but try not to judge anyone who is unable to work because they are suffering from stress.

        I found that part of his post disgusting if I’m honest. To demean mental health difficulties people are suffering at this time is not acceptable at all.

        My wife and I are both secondary school teachers. A little better up here in Scotland but not much. Expectations of staff are well beyond the technology and training most people have.

        Teaching in this day & age is a very difficult job. I can’t begin to imagine how much harder it is under the current (worsening) situation. I totally respect anyone doing it.

        My wife is also incandescent with rage at the way herself and colleagues have been treated. Having to teach 2-3 year olds with staff off sick and everyone else off school. Covid doesn't discriminate in relation to age. Also a lack of PPE due to lack of funds. Its ridiculous
