It does indeed suck, and makes no sense since students arent really at risk for this virus..

It's unfortunate that so many things are being shut down but it is better to not let it get out of control and take these precautionary measures. 

I have a son in 1st grade who's school has been canceled. I'm really hoping they are considering online school for the remainder of the year at least.

Prevention is better than cure.

I know the feeling my son was sitting his A levels and will have to be marked by his school work instead

well tough times tough measure, atleast there is an alternative for this industry and can be conducted online, in comparison to other industries that require physical presence are really struggling

I was thinking people with chronic health issues should of been advised to stay at home instead of jailing everyone. 

schools out now im the teacher, im certain i wont make a good teacher

Yeah it's really bad that schools are out.  For parents that do have to go to work now they have the extra burden of finding someone to take care of them.

It's one of those things that is something of a catch-22. children have died from the virus, so leaving schools open puts them at risk. closing them fucks certain family.
