That is directly contrary to the briefings Scottish teachers were being given even yesterday afternoon. I will be interested to see where this is coming from.

BBC says this has come from Nippy’s daily briefing.
Just goes to show how quickly things are changing.
Within the last 3 days we have heard schools will stay open til Easter but then stay shut until after the summer holidays; then schools will remain open come hell or high water; and now schools will shut this week and stay shut until after the summer holidays. The aim of keeping them open was as a bare minimum child care provision to save grandparents from being drawn into babysitting social contact, to prevent emergency services staff having to arrange childcare, and because some kids will neither eat nor wash effectively if they’re not in school.
I wonder what’s changed.

Thanks, so basically it will become law tomorrow. Let's hope they push it under the Queens door!
Yes, there's grandparents health to consider, parents may have to cease working, children on free school meals may go without. What a bloody mess, but I think it's the least worse option.
