We were only asked to do one timetable option. They took the decision to maintain hybrid pretty early, although I suspect students won't be entirely happy if we do get our cases down by then.

we've got all onsite, all online, one 'essential' module onsite only, large classes online only. University approach is 70%/30% but that hasn't really been applied in my School.

They couldn't really say anything else, they'd already left it too late.

My friend has been asked to run the testing again in her local secondary - followed by weeks of exam invigilation... At least it's work after nothing at all last year. I do feel sorry for the pupils though as every year group is having formal exams in the sports hall.

Don't know if anyones seen this letter from Unison to the govt :

unison.org.uk

so any child who sits next to a child who has tested +ve for covid will no longer be classed as a 'close contact' and thus not have to isolate/do a test wtf ? it'll run rampant

That seems like a recipe for disaster fraggle.

People were asking at work if students will still be masking in Sept. Although it looks like they won't be required to, I expect they will. At least the Asian students, who were much more likely to wear masks even before covid.

Oh, and having been asked to do one timetable option, they're now asking for a revised version with more in person teaching.

FFS to both the school policy mess and the timetabling.

About This Thread

Maintained by Grast_girl
There are enough educators on here that I thought it might be nice to have somewhere supportive to rant and problem solve.

Everyone is welcome.
