Keep schools closed for the rest of the year.
Boris Johnson has announced his plan of reopening workplaces in stages. He has announced how he is thinking of reopening primary schools which I completely disagree with. Children are incapable of abiding by social distancing rules. This could put children, families and workers at risk.
The public is fearful enough as it is, the last thing family members need is the extra stress of sending their children back to school during this pandemic. Many people have expressed their fears and concerns on sending children back to school on the BBC News. It is completely unacceptable behaviour to send children back to school when they’re at risk of catching the Coronavirus. Primary schools should remain closed until this pandemic is under control.
