There will be a lot of arguments in families over that decision
My first thought is Will they be kept separate from children of NHS workers who are in contact with the Virus in hospitals as they could be unknown carriers? As harsh as that sounds it's a valid point as those children are at a higher risk.
Will we get fined if we choose to keep them home longer to ensure it is safe ?
How do you get all those kids to social distance?

On Thursday, Education Minister Kirsty Williams said schools wouldn’t reopen on 1 June
However the Welsh Government hasn't ruled out anything after the 'beginning of June', including later that month
The Welsh Government has promised at least three weeks' notice before a ‘phased’ return
A document on schools is due this week but there's no mention so far of it including any sort of timescale for reopening

It's looking like English schools only on June 1st which Boris did not mention in the broadcast.
Will Wales really defy Westminster ? Even with the 3 weeks they can still go back first week in June in Wales. Its likely that will happen as well

I work in the profession mate and I’ve been at hub school on shifts to look after children of key workers. It was hard to keep the older children apart so what it would be like for little ones I dread to think. I honestly can’t think of a perfect scenario for me to be 100% happy to return as a teacher other than drugs / vaccine that’ll keep everyone safe.

So as a teacher looking after the children of key workers . Will those children being as they are around people dealing with covid every day pose a threat to other kids in the class if they return together and they are not able to use social distancing?
Do you think they shod be kept apart ?

There are around 10 Million Under 15 years old in the UK - 2 have died .
The above figures were given this morning on the Andrew Marr show BBC .
I have not checked if this correct - but this has come from the guy who the Gov get their figures from .

I watched it, I almost spat out my bacon and eggs when i heard the statistician talk. I have 100% agreed with the lockdown but we need to take stock and review what we now know and take the knee jerk reaction s and emotions out of it.

the percentages have not changed from early on. its just most people don't look and the message has been consistently frightening with very little context. the emphasis being ANYONE can die.. harsh reality is Anyone can die when covid is not around.. just below 1% { 550,000 UK souls last year } mostly old but some are children, some work in factories and some are doctors and nurses..

10 Million under 15’s in England and Wales - 2 have died with covid 19 on those death certificate and they may have had something else wrong with them.
Under 25’s 17 Million 26 deaths recorded many will have had other conditions, that’s the same as a couple of days of deaths from general accidents and sudden death.
Over 90’s so far over 1% of them have died from covid 19 so 10,000 times the risk.
The expert says it’s really an over 75’s killer and almost all with underlying health issues.
They should stay home the rest of us should be getting back to work,

It's not a case of defying Westminster. Health and education, among other things, are devolved issues so we are perfectly entitled to make our own decisions.

They are doing it to justify there existance. Nothing to do with it being the correct call (which it may well be) it's all to do with forcing a wedge between the union which is why they did it Friday and Scotland are doing the same. It's pathetic and dangerous. If it was to do with making a decision they would have done it today after the announcement not friday.
They should all be working together as a country not sepersting us making it all harder for everybody

He just said that reception and year one will go back before the rest to test whether or not the virus spreads again. In other words they are cannon fodder.
It is a test to see if they can reopen schools fully, what if the virus spreads and the kids get sick ?
If they are not sure then they should not be opening them at all
Mine will not be going until at least july now after that answer. I was on the fence but that did not give me any confidence at all

Welsh schools no chance going back in july as WG have said wont opening june and considering that it will take 3wks to set up school it will leave couple weeks before summer hols that if teachers can be bothered to go back to set schools up because they are resistant to going in early to do so... like said they are trying everything they can to stall going back

I see your point but they could be carriers, in which case all school staff could be at risk.
