I took my teenage girls out of school today as I was concerned with the government’s slow response. I had assumed, wrongly, that they’d be closing the schools as of tomorrow or Monday at the latest.
Not sure what to do now.
My gut says keep them home, revising and doing a full day. I feel they’re just keeping them open because they worry parents will be unable to work if closed and the financial impact will be huge.

GF school is waiting for a confirmed case to close. The messages on whats app between staff and student mentioned up thread were bullshit. But there are a couple of self isolators as mentioned earlier.
But closed for how long? What happens to the GCSE and A-levels? Will you be fined?

There is also concern that closing schools will result in lots of healthcare workers being unable to come to work when they’re most needed.

My dad is recommending that I take my son out of school ASAP. I can’t tell whether that’s an over reaction and he will miss out on too much academically. they have no comprehensive online learning tools set up as of yet.. ..or if it is the sensible thing to ignore what the government advise is and take matters into our own hands to some extent
Any forumers in a similar predicament?
He also offered to look after him, but I worry that taking him round there after a week of going to and from school on public transport is an unnecessary risk for my parents. Would be bad if we brought it to them
