If the two-metre rule is still in place in September then almost all primary school children will only be able to attend school one day per week

That's according to a roadmap to give guidance to schools about reopening in September published this lunchtime by the Government.

The guidelines say the impact of such a requirement on student's education and well-being would be "most extreme". The document states that a 50:50 blended school/home learning scenario would have "very serious impacts to the delivery of meaningful education".

What is going to happen to those who have parents with a medical condition

Can rte stop putting out ridiculous comments about schools... who within rte originated that tweet...? The risks are tiny the benefits are huge Schools should be open ASAP. Schools should open early in August to catch up. Schools should be open in September No SD, no mask

EU countries are 1 meter. We dont need to reinvent the wheel just look around at what works.

If you read the article you can see this is not an official announcement & is just a discussion around a study done on what schools would look like under current social distancing guidelines

Rugby planning on playing full contact matches in September & the future generation get 1-2 days a week in school There's something wrong here, let them live their life 🙏

Go back, wear masks. Work till the mid term. Look at the curve. If needed take an extra 2 weeks working from home. Repeat at Christmas.

The fact they are all playing together and hanging around together,as is..They should be able to go to school.

Don't be jealous Geoffrey, just ask your employer to spread your pay over twelve months and only get paid for the months you work 😉

Whatever government comes up with, and let’s give them a chance, for the poor lads are only just getting their heads around the obvious now, I’ll decide on whether mine go back to school based on the science, not the politics. The weak minded will do otherwise.

What I find amazing is that this is news to anyone. It was obvious from the first day social distancing was understood to be one of the only tools in the chest.

never read such horse shit in all my life.

Too over-cautious.

Ridiculous. Like if you agree

am i going to be told to put an experimental vaccine into my children or they are excluded from society,zero liability if it goes wrong?or should i go along with the sheep

Or night schooling will commence

Why not using all the small country schools again which were closed down in recent years?

WTF The bloody thing is gone from general population. Cop the fk on and open up as normal and fire that Holohan narcissist

So be it!

Enough is enough

In Perth WA schools are back to normal with over 90% attendance... No social distancing in the schools. Initially the Parent's were not allowed on site but that had been changed this week..

They’re doing this with schools but opening all crèches at the end of this month!?

That's still better than 0....

Somobody wants to ruin education system 🤔 Are we coming back to 1950😞😖? That won't be axepted 😤 Somobody want to make our kids antisocial 😭😵

When the full dail sits when they think it’s safe for them to do so ... that’s when my children will return to school🙌 safeforall

They'll be at home for 4 days playing with their neighbour friends. Official Ireland is fuckin nuts!

This makes no sense! I’m a preschool teacher and we are opening with our ratios and number of children remaining the same! How can it be ok to have up to 18 4 year olds together every day but not the same for primary school children 🤔🤔

Open the doors and in they go, no more nonsense, they are on top of each other as it is now.

But we will all be back at work so 🤷🏻‍♀️childcare nightmare

The kids in our area a big gang every day in the local field and no social distance, if that the case why are the u14 camogie and football back at the end of the month.

Unconstitutional....like this whole COVID19 conjob!!

Children are clearly at virtually no risk at all from this virus. Cop on and move on.

Best way to subvert a nation is to start with the kids, my kids will be going back to school if it's the way it was, any Social Distancing subversion or any other creepy child abuse and they are not going back.

Well that's stupid. There's more chance of a kid dying by a strike of lightening than from COVID 🙄

If they're chatting that Primary schools then what about secondary schools? I'm guessing the government cares more about primary schools rather than secondary schools if I'm being honest with you.

This is absolutely ridiculous. We have to get our kids back to school. We need strategic planning and investment but it can be done.

they can fuck right off only in this country would it happen

Children without special needs should not even be going back they'll be fine for another bit, it's parents wanting to dump them in free childcare. The resources that free up could help children with special needs who ACTUALLY suffer from not being in school for even a few months.

Teachers don't want to go back. 2 mates wives teachers plus not keen on going back. Scared

It’s all or nothing I’m afraid. Children need and deserve a consistent routine. Easier to home school and arrange extracurricular and social activities around that than jump through Dept. of Educ. hoops to get access to part time schooling. I won’t send my child into an SD class.

Yes it's a 2 year plan now!!

And yet we have about 1/2 million people under 25 not social distancing outside Penneys store today and thats fine sure, not a mask between them. Give me strenght!!!

Outrageous

A mess was made with the state exams and mess is being made of this as well!?

Even 2.5 days is not fair equitable or practical. Do workers leave their jobs en masse so that one parent can deliver the homeschooling system?

Won't be in place by end of August though will it?

Why even bother?! Literally not even worth the hassle of trying to arrange this.

What about collages? And paying 6/7k for accomation Notting said

Im having a panic attack reading this. What the actual?!

More than enough tbf
