    I think for exams the time may come to go off Mock exams and some calculations of work done over the last 18 months ect. Really struggle to see how exams are going to be a able to go ahead.

    Mocks are rarely the final exam scores though.... often students treat them as just that.

    Maybe so. I just don't see it been feasible at the minute. When do they take them?

    No and you never gave a reason why it couldn’t work either.
    It appears that either you or your partner are in education from some of you’re responses, which makes me conclude that it’s more a case of you don’t think it’s fair or right to the individual to be utilised in that way. I can respect that as an opinion from an individual as it is their right.

    I initially thought that, but my daughter then pointed out they never did all their mock exams.
    Honestly don’t know the answer or where to start in terms of exams

    I don’t think it would work as the children are then returned to their homes with a higher likelihood of having the disease therefore infecting the masses and medical personnel thst we are trying to protect. A doctor friend of mine has taken her children out of school for that very reason...,

    It’s nothing to do with fairness, just a trivialisation of an entire Profession by someone who thinks you are more likely to get virus in a cinema... I’m not sure what you’re wanting from me. But I can’t give a solution.

    See that’s where you got it totally wrong .....
    At no time did I trivialise the profession, in fact the opposite, I said in my first response to you that they were trained and experienced in dealing with children that is not trivialising it that is recognising someone skills and experience and wanting to use it for the greater good.

    As for the cinema, what I said was if it it was as bad as what you said where small groups of children are in controlled environments why was theatres and cinemas still allowed(bear in mind when I wrote that).

    Your point of them returning with a higher likelihood is valid, but it would be less likely than the current situation of schooling, but again I said in my early response to you it’s not without it’s issues, but none of them are insurmountable.
