Good Luck ....

Totally agree with your sentiments moulesy. My step daughter who is a teacher in a small village primary school has been working throughout lockdown - in effect 'child-minding' for the children of key workers.

She was even working this Monday (what Bank Holiday?), getting ready for the school reopening and having to re-think the whole teaching practice in a school which doesn't have the luxury of space.

Knowing the hours she puts into a normal week, I get quite cross when I hear some people bleating on about teachers having a 'cushy number'.

Yes indeed M. Two of our nieces are teachers. One is Dep Head at a primary. Spent whole of lockdown looking after children whose parents/carers barely know they exist. Hungry, filthy, badly clothed, the only kind of care they get is via school. Another unacknowledged aspect of life in the UK.....☹️
