So here we have it what we probably knew was going to happen a second lockdown but instead of closing down what is really causing the problem they are allowed to stay open schools they should never have been reopened after the first lockdown as it is that age group i believe that are causing the highest soread of this the amount of young people i have seen on buses not wearing masks and sitting together with there mates plus not santizing there hands or wearing masks in shops the younger generation need to cop on |

I don't think school is as big an issue as u think. We were 1,200 or 1,300 cases a day pre level 5. Were now roughy 400 with schools still open. Young people are pissed off. They're the ones getting the brunt of this as they are the ones with the maximum taken away from them and been continuously asked to "live your life with the thought of the vulnerable. You can't live your own life and do all you enjoy doing". Let's hope this vaccine comes quick and a high % take it

the same line is used all the time "try working on the frontline". Brilliant work they're doing but if covid is here in a years time will we still here the same thing while telling young pekple "You still can't mingle, party till you drop, etc etc. All stuff associated with been young. Living your life to the maximum. It's easy tell young people what they should be doing when that stage of your life has passed and you got to do it all.

"A yr or 2 of not being able to party isnt going to kill you but the virus could especially if you have unlying issues think people need to get their priorities right "
A year or 2 of not living your life could kill you, in a very different way, mental health. Something that's been highly forgotten continously in this. Living in lockdowns whether it's 2 or 5 is not normal and it has now taken its toll on people who are at the end of their tether.

Do you not think education is a priority? I'm not sure there are many primary school children out partying  I have two schoolage teenagers and neither they nor their peers are out partying. The two schools they attend both have robust mitigation in place with equally robust disciplinary measures in place for not following the rules which have been put in place.
And again I ask, how do you propose to deliver effective learning if schools were shut down? |

Theres so much to learn from children and young people. The capacity of resilience in them is amazing. They are doing great and they need all the support we can give them. Schools and colleges need to stay open. |

Schools must stay open ,if the schools close where are the kids to go with both parents working ? Who will sit and ensure their work is done from home ? Who will buy the kids tablets and computers to work on ? Do you really think the kids will sit in the house all day for weeks on end ,every chance they get they will start trying to break down mum and dad so they can go see there friends ,before long the groups of kids that are hanging around after school will be hanging around on corners with notthing to do ,kids are at a very very low risk of been hospitalized from covid ,i understand there is high risk cases out there but you cannot lock everyone up to protect them,yes they need government support but school must stay open

I know there are a lot of people saying that schools are "not the issue", but according to the ONS figures, the age groups presenting the highest number of positive tests are 16-24 year old followed be 11 to 16 year olds. |

I think it's a question of priorities. I do think that educating children should be a very high priority. It's just a question of effective infection control... |

Completely different over here. The age group with the most positive results are 20-39 year olds then 40-59. School kids come in 3rd  |

That's very interesting, and the question of why would be important. Although whatever is going on we could learn from you. |

Education is a huge priority, especially as our approach and results with the virus means that our economy and citizens are disproportionately affected negatively and will hold this burden in future.
Different engagement types are causing varied levels of infection. Our schools and university students are part of an ongoing cycle that rolls hundreds of thousands of people through it and if we put the brakes on, we create a bottleneck that can't be cleared without affecting others. None of them should be subject to inferior education, limiting their life chances and development as healthy people.
Alternatives are limited. Distance education is generally inferior across the spectrum of needs. A small amount may help a little but our people need the best.
Our older students are competing on the world stage. They are our future and our society depends on them.
We didn't do enough before the second wave hit hard, to prepare for it and student needs. The infection impact from schools doesn't appear to be huge. But the impact on these people's lives can be.
A bigger risk has been the many thousands of people, some of them parents, who have been forced to continue to work, as we didn't recompense them financially to isolate for the benefit of society. It's utterly stupid. The single focus should be on those who are infected, getting them fast results, to isolate and having their contacts similarly tested, isolated and financed to do so. Those are the real threat, not children in classrooms. |
