If schools are reopening, then politicians need to return to the Dáil, and the money being spent on the Convention Centre be reallocated to the safe reopening of schools.

Lots of references to ‘Homeschooling’ If it was that, parent becomes teacher. In reality, it is supervising your own children while they are learning remotely, using resources, recordings or live lessons supplied by teacher working from home in a global pandemic..big difference..

Just a correction for media. Parents are not home schooling, they are supervising work set by teachers, that is NOT home schooling. Home schooling does not involve teachers. Teachers are STILL teaching, I am still teaching. I too am supervising my sons work set by HIS teachers

Parents need a dose of reality if that’s the case. No demand for HEPA filters, antigen testing, contract tracing, but asking unvacc children to wear masks to school, that’s the break point? Children & teachers are getting sick in huge numbers. Across Europe, children wear masks.

Perhaps they are celebrating the experience and not the result necessarily, why so mean spirited? Reports are that Japanese hospitality has been superb. The rugby on show from Japan, NZ and England has been worth acknowledging. Many spent a lot of money to share the experience.

Absolutely disagree, the rote leaning of tables has huge benefit to real world application. It is a platform on which so much problem solving starts. As a teacher of 27 years, the deterioration in maths standards directly due to this one belief alone is hugely detrimental.
