Repeat the school year 2019/20 due to covid19
I am asking for you.to consider schools repeating the academic school year 2019/20. That way we could delay sending our children back to school too early putting them teachers and parents at risk.
Asking young children to social distance with their friends is simply impossible. It will have a negative effect on their mental health.
If they were to repeat a year there wouldn't be the pressure to get them back into school too soon and risk another spike.
Those children / teenagers who have worked so hard towards their SATS, GCSEs and A levels have missed out on taking their exams and achieving a grade they truely deserve.
