Will be interesting to see if that's a possibility over here? I know the official line for schools still being open is to keep health workers at work rather than home, but you also wonder if there was an element of not being able to deliver the curriculum online, which should be in place by the commencement of Term 2.
Our school has said that if kids can't be looked after they can still go to the school in Term 2 and complete learning online in a supervised environment, but the teachers wont be present, they will be working from home.
We are going a similar thing, the staff have the option from working from home or coming into school, but all teaching will be online.
This is being trialled this week, with a number of students still being at school but they are being taught as though online, so as to not cause those that are working away from school to be given the same consistent information as those here at school.
I would suggest that a number of teachers will still come into school next term (provided this is still supported by the government) and tech support etc will be available on campus but also online.
The teachers have been brilliant in this period getting everything up to speed to make it as easy and seemless for students and parents alike, but there will be gaps unfortunately.
I feel for the Year 12's this year, my son being one of them, as there is so much not known, but they are all still working hard from what we can tell, but we don't really know what is going to happen at the end of the year for them.
