@BorisJohnson I don’t want your thanks, I am currently working in a preschool, juggling homeschooling 2 children, housework, doing SALT for my daughter, patiently waiting to see how her dyslexia assessment will be done, while terrified my job will give me covid. #closenurseries

You refuse to extend FSM into the holidays despite there being millions of families struggling, those who have lost their jobs, those who are furloughed and not getting their 20% topped up, those solely on benefits, & those like me who has 1 income coming in that’s below the

Living wage with gas and electric bills increasing because we are home so much more using two laptops for school work, and whose food bills are increasing for the same reason, your thanks mr @BorisJohnson do not mean a thing to me when I’m working in the forgotten sector of

#earlyyears my life/health on the line to keep the economy going with no thanks, no reward, no decent pay because you don’t see me as an educator, you see me as a babysitter, and at the same time I’m following all your other rules, my kids are home learning we stay at home,

We don’t see friends or family because we want this to be over, and all you can come up with is a generic letter to say you understand how hard it is.....you’ve hardly parented your children, so don’t have a clue. You need to extend FSM, you need to offer more financial support,

To those who need it most, and you need to fund #earlyyears equally, and fairly to schools and state run early years settings, you need to make it clear that early years educators are to be paid the same wages as Teachers, and TA’s dependent on level of qualifications,

TA wage to level 2, teachers wage to level 3 and above, and head teachers/deputy head teachers wages to managers and deputy managers. The work we put in should be respected, the fact we can’t protect ourselves from covid when working with 2-5 year olds should too be respected.

So please #PrimeMinister @BorisJohnson pay attention, do the right thing, look after the lower classes, and look after those who teach #earlyyears we’ve had a enough of being at the bottom of the pile, even my own friends have looked at me the same way you do like my job is not

Important. If anyone else sees this thread please RT, and if anyone knows the best way to send a letter to the prime minister give me a shout.
