So the government are funding schools with an extra billion pounds, to help children who have missed out on their education. 

One of the proposed schemes that this money will pay for, is one to one tutoring of pupils that have been disadvantaged during lockdown. This all sounds very good but where are they going to find all the extra trained teachers that will be needed to carry this out?

Or will it be done by untrained staff, that are supplied by a private company. Wonder who'll get that contract

Save the cash get the kids back in School, simple really

Or, I was responding to a silly meme poking fun at white folks with a silly meme of my own.

Ah, I remember why I had you on ignore before.. ? 

As you were.

My favourite thing is that Schtive loves that shitty boomer tier meme so much that this is at least the second time he's posted it. It's nearly as funny as John Oliver.

I wish I didn't love it - most people posting in this thread seem to wisely swerve the politics thread where I posted it before, so it deserved a second mention, especially as it's even more apt in this thread that's actually supposed to be about sports.

Glad that it annoyed enough to try and have a dig at me about it though.  If only that made the meme incorrect. Nope

Problem is schools cannot fit kids as well as social distancing hence why schools are sometimes struggling at 15 a class.

Scrap social distancing for Schools, stats show kids are pretty unlikely to be effected. In fact scrap social distancing completely, we have for the past 2 weekends and haven’t seen a increase in infections.

I'm more worried about my kids infecting my parents, in their 70s with serious health issues.

Generally there's a lag - We won't know what effect loosening social distancing has for a couple of weeks at least - That's why decisions on changing lockdown conditions are supposedly 4 weeks apart

The major problem is it wasn't dealt with early or quick enough - The countries who've managed to stamp it out took fast, decisive and (fairly) extreme action - We didn't 

Once the volumes are high (we're still at 1200 reported new cases per day, and some modelling suggests it's higher) you have to extend measures for longer to either let it move through the population slowly or slowly wear out

What other levels of common sense do you suggest?

Common sense tells me I'd rather work at getting children caught up on their education that try to find a way to reincarnate the dead.

If you have the symptoms stay in for 2 weeks, job done. We can’t continue like this forever (although I do think some want that) the damage will be far greater (imo of course)

How’s that then? Two working parents for example, how do the kids get an education if they can’t go to school?

Have you read much about the illness?

They know that people are contagious before they get symptoms - They think it's for 48 hours beforehand - Think about a normal day and how many people you come into contact with in 2 full days - Then think about how many people kids in school come into contact with in 2 full days

They also don't know whether people who are completely symptomless can pass on the virus - So you could never show any symptoms and still infect everyone you come into contact with for a couple of weeks
