I wrote to @GregClarkMP to ask him to support the vaccination of teachers as a priority. If education is a priority Sir Gavin Williamson CBE MP then teachers and support staff are a priority too✊ #vaccination #schoolreopeninguk #tier4 #UKEdChat #edutwitter #tunbridgewells

Petition: Prioritise teachers, school and childcare staff for Covid-19 vaccination petition.parliament.uk/petitions/5543… Teachers should be vaccinated before the full return of schools.

Everyone wants children in schools but with infectious new variant being more dominant in 10-19 & 0-10 age grps AND with schools currently not being covid-safe, there is little choice but to keep all schools shut. Tes magazine covers our concerns Independent SAGE tes.com/news/watch-pre…

How can anyone teach or learn effectively when ALL WINDOWS AND DOORS ARE OPEN IN WINTER? Tried so hard to be productive but I couldn’t feel my feet. #schoolsreopening #level5 #edutwitter #teacherlife

Why are teachers not being vaccinated right now? Who else has to sit in an enclosed space with 30+ other people, all day long, breathing the same air, with no screens, no high grade PPE, no proper protection? This is a national scandal. Teachers need public support on this!

"We're a country where we're not vaccinating, we're not making schools safer and we're also not protecting schools by having transmission lower in the community." Prof. Christina Pagel - @chrischirp.bsky.social

I just signed a National Education Union petition: Take urgent action on ventilation in our schools. Sign here: actionnetwork.org/petitions/take…

Dear Gavin Williamson, now we know your plans for Covid-safe classrooms ... er, um | Michael Rosen theguardian.com/education/2021…

A new school year - same lack of protection for children. As Michael Rosen 💙💙🎓🎓 NICE 爷爷 puts it, borrowing an inelegant phrase from Sir Gavin Williamson CBE MP, “It’s our children and their teachers you are experimenting with, in the face of the er, er, whole sort of, er, global pandemic.”

"It's not that schools are worse than other indoor places. But they are an indoor place. And they're an indoor place that often has poor ventilation, that does have crowding, and that now has the single population that is the least vaccinated." Prof. Christina Pagel - @chrischirp.bsky.social

Chris whitty acknowledges serious issue in schools and high rates in children. He favours 3nd dose for teens. And yet no mention of masks in schools?!

Schools should not open until the availability of covid tests for all families and staff can be guaranteed.

Just finished the first The Big Draw® ✏️ Sketchbook December daily drawing challenge at our school. Can’t wait to exhibit all the entries when we get them in next week. So great to see staff also giving it a go! 👩‍🎨 #thebigdraw #makethechange #allschoolshouldbeartschools #secondary
