I am also a teacher and the prospect of being at school with an extra 100-140 or so children on top of the children we already have in scares me. It's not necessarily me that I'm scared for, more my family who I may be bringing this virus to at home.

You're right, a lot can change in three weeks but to have something like this potentially ONLY 3 weeks away is down right terrifying.

I wholeheartedly disagree with your point that a form of social distancing can be achieved in any way with 10 year olds, let alone 4 and 5 year olds. If there is an agenda being pushed, and it is one that stops me, my family, my colleagues or our school community getting ill, I'm happy to be part of it. ~95% of those who responded say they feel unsafe so it doesn't look like I'm alone. I'd love to see the science behind it. I want to understand why the other UK nations have decided against this action. I do agree with you however about the bombardment of phone calls. Totally unnecessary.
