It seems like some parents have little control over their children’s behaviour.

Sadly many of the 'old-fashioned values' have been lost somewhere along the way during the last fifty years.

Indeed. Some people just don’t get the importance of good manners.

Most children learn by example, so I can't see how things are going to change unless parents (and others) show the kids how to behave properly.

It must be very hard for teachers trying to control children these days

I've been retired 15 years, but during my 20 years in the classroom childrens' behaviour changed drastically and in latter days lessons became chaotic at times. Goodness only knows what it's like now!!

Children climbing on the tables? No, not as bad as that, I hope.

Too many 'learning difficulties' I think....half the class sometimes, then the teacher can be snookered when it comes to keeping a meaningful lesson going for the other half whilst keeping order.

...and right on cue the teacher has spoken.

It must be a whole different ball game teaching online or via Zoom meetings!

I hope they all stay on track and get to wear their cap and gowns

I expect they are relieved when it’s evening and they can relax!

(My daughter is teaching a Reception class this year. Doing virtual phonics sessions is a challenge!)

They won't all have the best of attention spans for that! I wish her good luck!

It will be a day of celebrations when they are all back In school

It will be a day of celebrations when they are all back In school

Yes, the flags will be out.

It will be a red letter day all right.  Hope it happens soon for the sake of all those frazzled parents out there too!!

If It goes on much longer they will be tearing their hair out

Talking about hair, mine really needs a good cut!

I will be off to my hairdresser as soon as possible in April.

I've been cutting my own, trying to put in the usual layers with some success at the front and sides. The back is a bit more difficult though......I dread to think what my hairdresser will say!!!

You’re brave, Joy. Mine would look awful if I tried to cut it!

More desperation than bravery methinks!! Never mind, perhaps freedom is just around the corner..........

It's up to us all now to have the jab when offered to make it a better world for us all

Agreed. We are looking forward to our second doses on 17th April so that we can feel much safer. Still shielding in the meantime, until 31st March.
