sweetgirl Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 My LO is due back to school in September.As much as I know he needs to be back I am still reluctant about sending him back.We know for sure covid is going nowhere in a hurry.I think it will be especially hard for the nursery/reception lot as their parents will be unable to settle them in.😒Any thoughts, opinions/ discussion......

Digbina Posted August 25, 2020 Share Posted August 25, 2020 I am extremely relieved to be sending mine back. The risk is exceptionally low and the damage to their mental health and social experience in not returning to school is significant. I believe children need routine, their friends, and people qualified to teach them. This didn?t happen at my house during lockdown!

mima08 Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 I ma also concerned but for the moment believe benefits outweigh the risks (and I am very risk adverse). Will keep monitoring local infection rates and won't hesitate to change my mind if I see a rise in local cases that increases the risks.

Digbina Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 You might find this announcement re the risks to school-age children reassuring: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/aug/28/vanishingly-small-risk-of-death-or-severe-illness-for-children-from-covid.Only six children have died from Covid-19 infection, and the research study states that they had 'profound co-morbidities'. Underlying respiratory conditions such as mild asthma and cystic fibrosis did not meet the standard of 'profound co-morbidities'. Healthy black children are no more at risk than other children.
