Stop the re-opening of schools

Petition Details

I would like them to stop the schools from opening until it is safe to send all of the children back at the same time trying to stagger this will not work and will potentially break an already overstretched education system.

Additional Information

There needs to be a better plan sending the kids back to school, there is absolutely zero evidence that it is safe to do so. Until there is scientific evidence from impartial scientists the government should keep the schools closed until it is actually safe to send the children back to school.
