Rejected petition Close schools or make it optional for them not to go during second lockdown
Rejected on
To close schools down during the second lockdown or at least make it optional to keep your child home with school work sent home for them to do.
If im made not to work i can offer the time my child would need to learn at home. Children may not by the highest risk but they can carry it home and it spread thoughout the family some of which are key workers. If then the keyworkers show no symptoms and still go work they are spreading it that way. If not close the school then ay least make it optional to keep them home without being fined.
