Then kids in school years 2,6,10 and 12 from week beginning 22nd. Then rest of kids phased in. With summer holidays due end of July almost seems pointless phasing in all other kids as surely some will only get about 2 weeks. so what’s the point? You’re assuming there won’t be some schooling during Second half of July and August Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So using the information available to me it just seems an odd thing to do to talk about phasing presumably a few weeks after the initial lot on 22 Nd June when the chief is talking about 1 meter (arms length) from 15th June and all the stuff he said about work places yesterday. Just doesn’t seem very joined up to me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just doesn’t seem very joined up to me I agree that exit or de escalation is very disjointed. But that’s because they’re scared of the elephant in the room which is how to open borders. They daren't even debate it. Even if we don’t open to non residents we should be opening to residents with something like testing on arrival, and at seven days, with home isolation in between.

Nomadic Raptor Posted June 2, 2020 Author Share Posted June 2, 2020 Maybe I’m too simplistic but why don’t departments in government speak to each other? It just makes everything look so silly. they all have to have there little moment on the podium. We will get to the point where offices will be able to welcome staff back but the staff won’t be able to go back because kids are all at school, and it’s not like they have child care because the usual clubs and activities they might book kids onto during school holidays are no on during term time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much more of it is being done by directions by DHSC than regulations. That leads to democratic deficit because the directions aren’t subject to Tynwald scrutiny or approval. https://edgelawblog.wordpress.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nomadic Raptor Posted June 2, 2020 Author Share Posted June 2, 2020 (edited) It just seems what I would have thought a rather important thing literally involving 1,000s of people would be more at the forefront of the leaders minds rather than some of the other things that seem to be more important to our esteemed leaders. you don’t often hear the chief mention schools in his briefings. Yes it isn’t his actual department but he is the chief it’s almost like someone at the end of a meeting says “ oh what about schools?” And they then rush something which doesn’t make sense Edited June 2, 2020 by Nomadic Raptor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am hoping that the baby steps approach in schools gets a size 12 adult boot when the SD distance is reduced, but I fear that the cautious one has too much sway in Comin for that to happen. This academic year is going to be a write off, and I believe that history will judge the severe school measures as unnecessary. I have so far been very underwhelmed, frustrated and upset by the teachers, the unions and the good Doctor, who have entirely lost my previous goodwill. I hope it does not impact our children too much, we will see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What chance that they will forgo their summer break. This coupled to the usual Manx political default of being overly cautious, with poor and disjointed communication is now in full flow for the unlock period.

Nomadic Raptor Posted June 2, 2020 Author Share Posted June 2, 2020 What constitutes needing a break? I have been working hard from home every day since lockdown and I haven’t started bleating about needing a two break at tt. I actually have not had a single day off this year. They need to gain some perspective. i have emailed the mannin which they chief is on tomorrow but I’m sure my question won’t be asked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SChools should be open in summer but can you see teachers giving up another 6 weeks paid holiday to help the children who've suffered? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost Login Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 One of the arguments made when people comment on the length of teachers holidays or finishing at 3:30 is that they spend much of the holidays working by preparing for the next term or academic year, catching up on matters. To an extent I agree with that argument as I would have little confidence in a teacher who did not preparation etc for teaching. On that basis they should as they expect to spend much of there time working anyway during the holiday period surely the only real change is it will be more formalised and from home if the schools where open for longer over the summer.

Nomadic Raptor Posted June 2, 2020 Author Share Posted June 2, 2020 Know one has mentioned schools open in summer from the government and as such I would assume nothing has been even thought about. Certainly after that press conference today it doesn’t fill you with confidence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
