Would schools close down due to rise in strep A deaths?

Oh, I see. You're just angling for more time off as if you don't get enough in the school holidays. Ruined a lot of people's education among a lot of other things the last time they did anything like that so I don't think they'll be in a rush to do it again.

No we can’t keep closing schools and isolating people because of Diseases going around. Need to build up immunity.

Why ever open any school ever again?

The government should also give us winter holidays too like why tf should we go school in this flipping cold weather

What about christmas break

Naa you know how there's summer holidays from july to September they should also extend Christmas holidays to December till February and we return in march its so much better due to kids being absent

December to February? That's 2 months off, too long in my opinion.

Being in an exam year group (if you're in Y11) and missing this much school is bad, trust me I know from experience.

I agree. During summer, I forget everything

That's true.

If they did and it's big if I'd guess January or Early february it won't be a long one though and probably only primary school who are the most likely to get it a secondary school kid should be able to reason and follow instructions.

There have now been 24 deaths altogether in uk and 21 children have died in uk due to this. Parents have been calling to shut schools down i guess when these little kids go back first day in January the government would do a U turn and close schools down until winter is finished hopefully thats what happens what do you guys think? Can the government let us do remote learning?

Obligatory "if the queen dies will GCSEs be cancelled?" type thread on the latest current event...
