I wasn't aware that teaching unions were responsible for public health, nor expert in the subject, nor responsible for setting policy. I guess we'll see.

You are in no more danger than supermarket workers,, doctors, nurses, bus drivers and many other professions.
Go to work.

Mines all back on Monday as planned.
Albeit Monday is an inset day. So kids form Tuesday.

so what do you do?
Got an email from kids' school: children of key workers in school and all other kids to be taught online. Let's hope it is actual lessons streamed online and not just lots of homework set for kids like last lockdown. The trouble with lots of homework is a parent needs to sit down and work with the kids but when you're trying to work from home that is nearly impossible.
Also schools/councils must have seen this was a likely scenario so should hopefully have made contingency plans for it. It's not wholly unexpected.

No need to be rude. I hope you teach your pupils to discuss their differences rather than to just tell them to sod off.
I think I have got a clue. We may disagree, but I have a clue.
I have 2 children at primary school and I know how much it has affected them not being able to go to school.
My wife and I are both key workers and have not missed a days work (a part from when I caught covid and had to isolate for 2 weeks).
As a fit and healthy 40 year old (in my case) I knew if I got covid it would not be much worse than the flu. This turned out to be the case.
If you are fit and healthy then you should go to work. Perhaps dont go to work if you teach debating skills.

What you are failing to realise is that this 2 weeks closure (and it’s not a closure as has been explained) is to help stop people dying. Of course people don’t want schools to close for many children but it’s to save lives. To think you’re children have grown up listening to you’re aggressive, blame culture crap.

Closing primary schools may not effect the rate of children catching Covid but it will definitely affect the number of adults who take their kids or grandkids to school and the adults who work in the schools who may catch Covid. It will have a demonstrable effect on the R number and could be the difference in the epidemic numbers falling to a more controllable level.

I have a different opinion to you, but I am not aggressive.
Your post is far more aggressive and rude than mine.

No, no but Biscuit Barrel Bloke said that if you’re healthy you should go to work.

In a typical day, how many hours do you spend in a poorly ventilated room measuring around 50 square metres with 34 other people?

good for you. i also haven't stopped working; but i just think it's a bit rude to tell others what to do when you don't know their circumstances

You are not qualified to post that. It’s a foolish opinion.
