My eldest son is in Year 11. He went into lockdown in 2020 before his GCSE courses began and before he started shaving. He doesn't want schools shut and exams decided by teachers. I don't want schools shut. I want schools open and safe! Ventilate. Vaccinate. Mitigate.

No surprise to educators that the #LevellingUp white paper presented by Michael Gove refers to forced Academisation, Free Schools for elite learning & pressurised attendance drives. Where's extra funding to overturn school cuts, focus on SEND & out of classroom opportunities? 1/3

Govt thinks by Jan 4th our schools can do FOUR things at once: - teach exam classes (Yr11+13) - teach key workers & vulnerable groups - teach live, remote lessons - put in place capacity for daily mass testing. We were pushed just to open to regular classes. This is impossible.

@johnredwood Do you even have a basic clue about any of this? If the UK was the main exporter of shellfish into the EU of 27 nations & 100s of millions of people, to equate to that market we will have to eat shellfish for breakfast, lunch & dinner. And have the deep pockets to fund it. Idiocy

@theAliceRoberts I have 3 children, all at different schools from next week. I teach in a 4th school! We spend 16 hours a day together. The notion of Bubbles is false reassurance. They only exist so when a positive case is identified, they can justify not closing the entire school for 2 weeks.

👨‍🎓Now teachers have CO2 monitors will schools be reporting high classroom CO2 levels to environmental health? 🏥 Will action be taken to rectify and fix the lack of ventilation? ☠ If not, then all this will do is tell us that we are teaching in a dangerous place for our health!

Oh dear, Keir. "Let’s get school staff vaccinated & all our children back in school." 🤦‍♀️ Kids catch it & spread to their families! If only you had spent the last 10m *opposing* the govt: fighting for *safe* schools with masks, ventilation, rotas & SPACE. Like Greens 💚 have done.

Great to bump into Steve Bray @snb19692 on our travels in Westminster after the #PeoplesVote March at the weekend. Chatted about the #IsleofWight as he gestured to my family "they're the future!". Real commitment and tenacity from all the SODEM team - they need our support!

Good. But not enough. Confidence and trust and faith in OFSTED is rock bottom. It must be scrapped and replaced with a more collaborative approach to improve standards in our schools. This has been @TheGreenParty policy for many years.

This attitude is why Labour will never work with other parties, will never support electoral reform, and will increasingly isolate themselves. It's incredibly sad. What a missed opportunity to work *together* and overwhelmingly GTTO. Labour don't own morality, trust & good ideas.

@afneil Schools in France: - all pupils aged 6 and over have to wear a mask at all times - universities are closed - high schools are partially closed with students only attending on a rota basis. Masks and rotas are exactly what the @NEUnion are demanding!

After the announcement that an extra 1.7million should shield, it's clear that come March 8th we will see this awful governmnt release restrictions far too quickly. They are going back to their only, original plan: - shield the vulnerable - let virus rip - 'herd immunity' for all
