Rejected petition Keep schools closed

Keep schools closed and if they have to open then atleast give the parents the choice in which to send their children back without being fined.

More details

As it stands if its not safe for us to be with family members or be allowed around other people due to covid then I dont think its safe enough for our children to be sat in a class with more then 30 children,there is never any social distancing at the school gates not due to the school but the parents who just don't care and I feel that it should be the parents choice if we want to send our children to school as we are worried sick cases have risen since the schools went back.
