School leaders say catch up plans should not be "gimmicks" or create long hours for tired children.
White kids probably get left behind in schools because the Marxist teachers believe they are 'privileged' and thus they devote their attention to those they deem 'oppressed'. That's the trouble with Critical Race Theory dividing people into racial groups with winners and losers. This should be the headline story rather than it being tucked away at the bottom.
I heard that when Nelson Mandela was released from prison he came upon a group of child activists and gave them a simple instruction.
"Go to school"
He realised that their education was crucial to the future of the country and more important than activism, however justified that activism was in apartheid SA.
I hope the teachers and their unions make the same realisation and put the kids first.

Wait, what?
Megs describes her reality, and you choose to insult her, that she is a lazy so-and-so, and her ONLY interest in education is that she can stay in?
Wow.

No wonder children are getting strung out. All this talk of falling behind and gaps...it’s nonsense. The pandemic has revealed two very sad things in relation to young people; 1. Their parents have become too reliant on “rent a parent”clubs and activities so are clueless when their kids are around and...2. People think learning stops without a laptop. Depressing.
What a complete and utter moron, society creates a world in which it wants and encourages both parents to work, so parents then utilise tools such as school breakfast / afterschool clubs and further opportunities for their kids to learn while being able to do their jobs. Its not about reliance on others or being clueless about looking after their own kids. idiots like you (presumably a teacher)

Government - 'KEEPING SCHOOLS OPEN IS A PRIORITY'.
Reality - SCHOOLS HAVE BEEN SHUT TO MOST SINCE THE NEW YEAR.
Verdict - LYING, USELESS, UNRELIABLE, UNCARING, INCOMPETENT CHILD ABUSERS. Removed

Fake reply! As you "conveniently" cut out the rest of my comment where I stick up a bit for the teachers saying they are burnt out by the unruly kids today. And yes in the part you excluded I also blamed the soft leftist PC culture for the unruly kids who spoil it for the teachers and other kids. Not allowed to punish them. This truth must have wound you up no end, hence your reply!
And you cannot deny teachers are workshy. Most of them have just done teaching all their lives. Not normal jobs where we only dream of such long holidays. But I do understand that teaching is stressful which could be why they want such long holidays. The left are to blame for that. Kid are allowed to get out of control because they never get punished. Some run riot and take the piss.

Teaching is one of the hardest jobs on the planet, more so in a society such as ours. I would NEVER want to be a full-time teacher ( giving a few seminars and workshops is enough for me). I can scarcely think of any harder job. I have great respect for full-time teachers, whose workload I can only describe as inhuman. It pains me to see society doing its utmost to make life harder for teachers.
The MP for Stoke-on-Trent North said the way that ministers "aren't addressing specifically white working class pupils feels that this is part of the problem. It's a taboo subject" Johnathan Gullis the MP that went on a rant and voted against giving kids food over Oct half term. He wont be the Stoke North MP come 2024 when it turns red again, least Ruth Smeeth was a local lass that cared
Plenty of working class people care about education and generations of university educated, higher rate tax payers still consider themselves working class. Mostly ordinary working class people pay for private education too. Huge generalisation in your simplistic comments.
Teachers should be vaccinated as a priority. Not because they're vulnerable but so the unions can't use safety as an excuse. Obviously they'd think of some other excuse to not go back to work, but it would show them up as the whingiest, whiniest, most pathetic, privileged, and entitled bunch of parasites they are. Teachers are great, unions are one reason this country has gone to the dogs.

I think perhaps the crown for whingiest, whiniest etc, etc may go to yourself. You've certainly got a cob on about something.
Union's sole responsibility is to act in the best interests of their members. Teaching unions are run by people who have been teachers. You cannot separate the two.
Teachers will always do the best for their students. You however do what exactly?

You seem to have a problem with teachers MF. Are you jealous of them? Maybe you didn’t like them when you were at school.
I’m good, I’m in demand from rich parents, I know my stuff inside out and I get their kids to top universities. This is the way society is structured so deal with it.

Again we have teacher leaders setting the worst example to our children. There are great teachers however for the majority any threat to their priviledged life style raises negative responses.
Had they been furloughed in first lockdown then they may more of the "can do" attitude displayed by other essential workers
A week supporting NHS hospital staff would provide them excellent learning

of course they dont want to do extra hours. some teachers are great but theres alot which arent. near me i have a primary school which has been closed since september because the head refuses to reopen it for fear of covid. the average online teaching is 3hrs a day - ons - so sorry but we are failing our kids in the long term

If still in the classroom I would have refused point blank to provide online learning. I suspect this alone will drive many out of teaching. Messing with teachers' holidays and hours will simply add to this.
Teaching in the UK is a pretty thankless hard slog, and is mainly the preserve of the desperate, who can't get a good job elsewhere. Making it a lot more unpleasant really isn't very wise. Removed
