Replying to @BorisJohnson
@BorisJohnson Do one thing for schools in this crisis. Vaccinate all school staff before schools re-open in 2 weeks. There are fewer than half a million of them and that's fewer than can be vaccinated in one day. You can do it and I'd even say 'please'. So please. 🙏

Always struggled to understand why the idea of vaccinating teachers ahead of reopening schools is such a contentious issue.

Blimey. “An education source said they believed the row could be resolved, adding: “No 10 will come up with a FORMULATION OF WORDS that Whitty can live with.” I’d rather they just made schools safer! Why the resistance? And why the fingers in the ears?! theguardian.com/education/20…

Whitty at odds with Johnson over 'big bang' reopening of schools in England

Something I’ve always firmly believed in, there’s always a reason behind children’s behaviour 🤍

This governments shameful handling of school during this crisis. They have blood on their hands!

The 'back to school' scandal. Millions of kids mixed unnecessarily for one day while the virus raged. Boris Johnson’s incompetence is costing lives. Sound on.
It’s about time. Will enough even turn up though. Or like the promised laptops will you massively under deliver?!

We’re sending rapid coronavirus test kits to primary school staff from Monday. This is an expansion of our existing rapid testing programme to all schools and colleges in England.

They can put people in tier 25 if they like. While schools - including primary schools - remain open, cases will continue to rise at their current high rate, putting innocent lives at risk. #tier5 #CloseTheSchools #closeschools #CloseSchoolsNOW

🚨#COVID19UK infection among school age children rises sharply again🚨 More than 1 in 40 secondary pupils and 1 in 50 primary children are infected. This is result of Government’s failure to protect schools. Read our press release in full👉bit.ly/3rh7AID

So Christmas - just a thought... if the schools shut a week early... you would have chance to quarantine your children before potentially seeing any older family. Teachers would get an extra week of holiday to recover (drink?!)... HAS ANYONE THOUGHT OF THIS? Am I a genius?!

Retweet if you agree... No school should be out of pocket for keeping school safe or keeping children in school when staff are isolating. All extra COVID costs for supply etc should be covered by @educationgovuk

I hope I'm wrong, but I can't see how Lockdown2 will work if it ignores the exponential infection growth in education. #CloseSchoolsNOW #closetheuniversities

Not a word to explain to teachers how THEY are to be kept safe when the message to everyone else is that it is not safe to leave home.
