Think that might be a tad harsh. Fancy explaining it to my teacher wife? Who had spent her whole weekend planning for next week, and every night last week working through issues from students who have missed so much through the first lock down and are now desperately trying to catch up? Or the lunchtimes she spent last week with students who have incredibly shitty home lives whose only chance of normality is time at school, even if it is socially distant.
The school my wife works at has had three child suicides in the last 18 months, and the level of issues they have had since going back has increased, every teacher there is going above and beyond to not only teach these kids but in many cases be a FOC untrained counsellor.
