Trust me, the workload was horrific. Even that Friday PDF was most likely compiled from material that was never intended for use as remote learning.

I spent two whole evenings separating massive PDFs into usable daily chunks for her one week, including cutting the answers to all the questions off the documents before they could be sent to the kids.
I apologise for the sweeping generalisation. I'm sure there was good and bad practice throughout the country. I am only calling on my experience, which I wouldn't describe as positive.

There was no personal contact (apart from the email) from the teacher for the eldest Y5.

and the youngest who was in reception - well they were just written off for the year - there was nothing, absolutely nothing in regards to any contact or work - we had to come up with our own.

If they do shut the schools I hope my lot have upped their game.

I don't, fortunately....I don't even know anyone within extended friends and family that have had it.

2 work colleagues that had it in March are the only people I know personally that have had it.

Before anyone jumps on me, I'm obviously not denying it exists of course not. Just pointing out people have different experiences.
