Schools have to re open in September. Being honest, when they shut down in March it was necessary at the time but I thought it would be for about 4-6 weeks and we would be back before the summer holidays. Most students coped well at first but there was a definite drift and increasing issues both around work and mental health arising in the summer half term in June and July. We have reached a point where the benefits of routine outweigh the risks I think.
This part of the post was really good Cat.
Unfortunately you then had to ruin the rest of it by politicising .
I believe you have form for this?
I dont have kids and the lockdown has caused a strain on my mental health as it has many others.
Going to the pub and socialising would certainly help my well being & be extremely beneficial.
I still have not been but was considering it next week for my birthday?
Because of a pre-existing health issue i have to be extremely careful & cannot risk catching this disease so have been shielding
I live alone and dont have a garden so things are pretty tough.
I have not seen friends and family for months.
I would love a hug from family or a friend.
I still chose schools.
Edit: I am certainly no fan of the Tories many aspects of their handling of this crisis has been to put it mildly very poor.
I am open minded enough to understand though it would have been a challenge for any politicians.
I just find it incredibly sad that an obviously educated intelligent person can be one eyed in his views that 99.99% of their thinking certainly measured by posts on here turn into a political rant.
All it actually demonstrates is how narrow minded & unbalanced you are as a person.
As said earlier lockdown has been tough on many .
Its a shame that you seem so absorbed by a very unhealthy obsession
