I understand some of the teachers arguments. Over here they question the logic as to why a grandchild can't spend time with their grandparents, but they can spend time with their teacher (who may be a grandparent themselves).
But as always here those reasonable arguments are drowned out by union nonsense.
In NSW they are going to a rostered approach from week 3, where each student is at school 2-3 days a week. So classrooms aren't totally full, but kids still get face time with teachers.

Agree completely that teachers should shut up, I have the same opinions for some workers I know about complaining about having to go back to full hours. Be happy you still have a job.
The foot in both camps comment is directed at schools are open, but only send them if you have to. Is it safe or not?
If it's not safe, keep the schools closed. IMO, having them mostly open is the same as having them fully open. There is a lack of clarity here, at least about safety.
Depends if the goal is elimination or flattening the curve.
If it is flattening, then drip feeding kids is probably a great strategy.
(but, should probably keep the over 60 teachers at home .... ) -
The PM pointed out yesterday that the threat to teachers is not from kids, it's from other adults.

Nothing on the teacher union websites to suggest they are opposed to opening at level 3, just messages reiterating government advice/plans for level 3. Looks like it's just a few entitled muppets rather than the profession as a whole, who should probably shut up to avoid damaging public support for them. They also appear to be avoiding the point that teaching is babysitting for society, to some extent at least.

so 8 further cases, sadly, 2 deaths, one in Waikato (90s) and another from Burwood (80s) making 7 deaths there of the 10
Seem to be getting the tests through prety quickly, one of my neighbours was tested on Wed and got results yesterday, she is clear.
With these new community testing stations, it will be interesting to see if this increases the numbers or not.

Typical lazy reporting by the media. Find a few people (off the record) that support the narrative of the story you are peddling and go for it

Yeah Iād say those community tests will be the big key to us moving into level 3.
Hard to argue with 8 cases showing things are working well.

Geee I always said that if someones grandparent/parent dies due to the guy in Matamata who didn't self isolate upon return from overseas, that their name would be mud. Everyone knows who it is and he better hope that the old fulla that died isn't related to any of the local gangs
