Ah ffs lads you are now going looking problems. Move the resources around the classroom to the store for now. Jesus do you want Weir to go hold your hands on this matter. 20by24 maxes out can hold 42 now that's not possible. It can be done and it can be done easily. Classes would be set out test style and that's easily allowing 30 with space between.
Yes the transport is an issue Johnny but this is we're parents need to step up to the plate. Working parents probably need to change hours of work but surely that's better than not getting at all.
Yes it's goin to take a bit of work but surely in the next 2 weeks teachers can get most of it done .
I honestly don't see the problems

Kidder I'm only stating the absolute facts on a class of 20 by 24
Off course staggering break and lunch time will need to be done
And also work around transport
Something the union forgot to mention
Crazy they didn't even mention

How's it not??
20 ft wide that fits 6 kids allowing for 1 ft extra
24 ft long fits 7 kids allowing for 1/2 ft extra
You could actually fit in more
Now take away a row that leaves 36 kids
Now take away 2 rows that's 30

In a room at 20ft wide by 24ft long you could fit 30 kids single table no problem. That's allowing a bit too. I would think most classes are no smaller

You had it all but shelved until 2022 Ross

It doesn't need to go Hardstation and you know it
A bit like there will be no sport until social distancing goes
It's hasnt gone and sport is opening up at an extremely fast pace

Milltown I have already answered you of course it will be different for teachers and children with underlying conditions if they can't stick to the guidance that is set out. But they will be taught from home maybe but surely that is a small price to pay. Anyone with underlying conditions in any job now is not back so teachers will be no different
Hardstation a staggered start as it gives everyone an opportunity to feel themselves back in and get any issues sorted then when the schools are only going at 50%
It makes perfect sense. Do you disagree?

Exactly my point trailer. Weir has said 1 metre now as it stands but things may change which they will in 10 weeks time. Hardstation why didn't the union realise a statement saying it's very positive news and welcome but we still have a lot of work to do between now and August 24th? And sit down with Weir and the government and sort it. Complete scaremongering with the hope it scares parents

What issues? Yes the one around the transport to school. Wasn't even mentioned yesterday inthe unions statement. Crazy oversight
What issues arise after yesterday?
Weir is basically telling all its very safe to get back and that 1 metre is fine but Jesus if it works out at 0.8 in between kids to fit the full class let's het it done.
You have to think of the well-being of kids.

Mackers is talking a lot of sense. And I agree that the holidays should not change
How about the Union come out yesterday saying it's great news that it is now 1 metre and that it gives us a real chance of getting the kids back in September. And that they will work with the minister over the next 10 weeks to make it possible. And for this to happen we will need a massive buy in from everyone none more so than the parents. That's what principals should have been saying yesterday. Another principal on this morning now giving off about travel to and from school for crying out loud. It's not going to be perfect far from it but parents may have to now leave and colllect children from school if they are not comfortable wee Johhny sitting on a bus. We are in difficult times everything will be that wee bit harder but let's be positive

My plan would be to get all the kids back in September every last one of them. 50% return on week 1 then 50% return on week 2 then maybe 75% return week 3 and then every single child in on week 4 which would be the middle of September. Don't forget this is 10 weeks away and kids will have been off for 6 months. 6 months!! Hardly rushing things back
There was 1 case in Northern Ireland yesterday ffs. What is the problem?
If the kids are not back the parents can't work this goes hand in hand.

Mackers they returned when they were told. And nothing off the back of it. But the union here don't want back. Interesting statement they made most was about teachers entitled to holidays
Tommy where have you been? Lockdown is well over

There will be no more lockdowns
Maybe advice to stay indoors
Lockdown days are over

What can you not see lasting?
I don't think we will ever see another lockdown

Sorry the other Jim 👍
