Opening schools

That's a hell of a leap.
Why? My daughter will be 4 when she joins school in September. Can you imagine if this continues for years and years.

"Oh I can't play with them because they are in a different bubble at school"

Do you realise how insane these rules and guidelines are? Where is the cut off date for them as the letter from the nursery didn't mention anything.
What of these measures are permanent? Nah not putting my kid into what equates to a prison where the very essence of a childhood is stripped away to meet quotas and some b***ks social distancing crap.
 
Why does social distancing mean kids make the leap to racism and discrimination? Do you think they are incapable of understanding, if explained, why those measures are in place?

Thats why I said its a leap. Not your entire post or your reply where you say its ripping childhood away for government quotas and saying social distancing is b***ks, although I disagree with you on that also.

It's all crap. Studies have shown a cough and sneeze can spread it up to 8 feet away so why is the guidance 2 metres and not 8 feet?

By all means tell a 3 year old to stay away but they'll more than likely either ignore it or forget it within 24 hours.
I've already stated why I believe these "bubbles" becoming a full time thing is bad for kids in the long run.
 
Your belief is fine, everyone is entitled to opinions. What I am questioning is why it leads to racism and discrimination, you still haven't addressed that.
 
I think I get your point Randy, if you actively stop a child interracting with a child from another bubble in their formative years you are setting up a pattern in their brain. This could be tricky to break down later in life.

It is no more ridiculous than being brought up to hate blacks, or catholics or jews. They are all man made ideas.

I am not sure I agree Randy, but I see where you are coming from. The main difference is that bubbles shouldn't engender a pre-conception, which skin colour and religion may do, in addition i wouldn't expect the teachers to get children to hate bubble A.

I get more confused about Randy's Covid19 stance with each post made!

Yes that's what I'm getting at and I believe a very real danger if it becomes a permanent fixture. That's just my personal opinion.

Obviously not the same but similar to rivalries between schools when we were kids. We could see rivalries between "bubbles". Look at gang rivalries in this country, kids brought up in it.
