This was near a school lollipop crossing... could it be in preparation for a return to school? Queuing to cross the road perhaps?Katherine Robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17196712319655603442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-89224868739441642622020-05-25T19:58:28.540+01:002020-05-25T19:58:28.540+01:00All of the above! As writers, as the saying goes, ...All of the above! As writers, as the saying goes, we tend towards being also deep and analytical thinkers. Perusers of human behaviour and human deviousness. Many of us are probably crime writers of one sort or another. Or we write comedy, using situations or double meanings or other word play. Whatever, our brains are full of the lore and language of people - which is common sense shot through with psychology or maybe viceversa... we understand what we hear on many levels -we distrust and we perceive dissemblers, we can often see through media hype and media persuasion.<br /><br />Basically, we see that much which is wrong, and manipulative and yes, class discriminatory, is being used by those in power...<br /><br />I tremble too for these masses of children and teachers, i am enormously relived our son's partner, a primary teacher, had already taken extended maternity leave, but my cousin's daughter will be forced back into the classroom...and the private schools? our great nieces and nephew have the whole summer in the safety of home...Who are our leaders fooling?Clare Weiner (Mari Howard)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03509159907199642490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-31847512610201681422020-05-25T19:33:21.199+01:002020-05-25T19:33:21.199+01:00You are voicing something very important: no polit...You are voicing something very important: no politician/scientist/expert appears to have given a thought to what this kind of return to school will do to the children psychologically (plus the exhaustion promised for the teachers). It's nuts. Children have been shown to be at minimal risk of infection, both to themselves and others, so they should not be treated like caged animals, unable to associate or play together. I know of several families who are not returning their children to school, not because they fear the virus, but because they don't want their children to be subjected to a regime which teaches them everyone around them is dangerous and malign (OK, so that's not meant to be the message, but how do we expect young children to interpret orders not to associate with anybody?). Do Swedish schools do this to children? It would be interesting to know.Griselda Heppelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09207965148074302337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-16318039159961074362020-05-24T12:02:10.425+01:002020-05-24T12:02:10.425+01:00Thank you, Jo - how true.

I was a pupil in one myself! -- I cannot for the life of me imagine how schools are going to maintain 'social distancing' for even one day.<br /><br />Attempting it will mean constant chivvying, reminding, watching -- it will be utterly exhausting for all concerned. Meanwhile the children will, innocently, make carriers of the plague from one household to another.<br /><br />Meanwhile, the private schools remain closed. But Cummings has already very clearly demonstrated that what's imposed on the rest of us has nothing to do with our 'leaders'.Susan Pricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07738737493756183909noreply@blogger.com
