I feel sorry for families where both parents are front line workers that have no family to mind the kids locally.

Give me an example where a teacher was sacked for something that wasn't an extreme circumstance, like assault or sexual assault?
Come back to me when you find any example of any public servant who was ever sacked for anything bar that.

Seriously?

So the primary children didn’t get any work to do at all? Most unusual, I’d say . We had less than 4 hours to sort some work today and all classes got a list to complete.

Sorry only getting to reply to this now. Yes, what I said is correct & as of yesterday received a message via Aladdin from principal stating same.
That applies from junior to 6th class. Recommended to read, do projects etc.

Any chance the schools here will open for the children of front line workers like the UK?

Twinkl are providing free access to parents and there are plenty of useful things there. A lot of schools have also put up work on their own websites so maybe check out local school websites. Grow in love, Folens, Ed Co Books and Nessy are also offering free use of their materials. If anyone needs help accessing these, just PM me I'd imagine all info is on their homepage re. registering.

Twinkle very good, have already downloaded a load of stuff from them & we’re working through them. Have other apps we’re working through too. Some good sporty videos on YouTube etc to give us a breather too when neede!

Are there not some childcare facilities doing this? Thought I had read that somewhere?

Individual childcare workers have offered their services to frontline staff but that's as far as it goes.
