1/ Month ago I explained how the government guidence and support for schools would lead us to chaotic rotas due to isolations
Todays stats unfortunately prove me right
It's time to restore order

2/ SAGE are telling government students are as infectious as adults, that they may be playing a significantly higher role in household transmission than first predicted

3/ In seperate papers government were warned that undetected asymptomatic cases in schools could cause superspreading events, their answer...no additional testing for asymptomatic cases in schools

4/ Same papers also warned government that lack of ventilation in schools could cause superspreading events due to aerosol transmission.
Governments answer?
No masks in classrooms, who cares about ventilation...

5/Concerns raised about disadvantaged students access to remote learning.
Governments answer...
Make it a legal responsibility of schools and then cut laptop provision by 80%

6/ Cost of cleaning is raised,
Governments say they will reimburse schools, schools spend the money, then government changes its mind and schools have to find the money out of budgets already stretched to breaking.

7/ Schools ask for more support, governments answer is to start sending Ofsted into schools, increasing workload and stress, and in some cases even bringing infection into schools. 
8/ While schools without money for supply staff forcing them to partially or completely close due to lack of staff, the government finds £1billion for creating a national tutoring scheme.
Good for headlines, but already courting controversy, as predicted

9/ Just when you think there's nothing more they can throw at education...
Food supplies might be disrupted, not certain how yet, but get planning if it goes wrong its your fault not the governments

10/ As I write more nonsense comes out of DfE.
Teachers must phone every pupil off daily. I know someone with half of most their classes isolating.
So DfE expects them to teach full timetable, set remote learning, then make 120 phone calls?
