Dear @PippaCrerar

During todays #DailyBriefing you claimed to be speaking for educators across the country.

Which bodies representing educators have you been in contact with to speak on our behalf?

Which educators are calling for schools to be open in a few weeks?

You see I am a nationally elected representative of education workers and I'm seeing my networks in a state of anger and stress at your comments on our behalf

Have you researched the reliability of the evidence base you cited in your question and the sources it came from?

Did you read the NEUs press release on schools reopening?
'We are a long way from this point'
'Must remain in place'
The largest education union, not just in UK but Europe and we have been holding huge online town hall meetings
If anyone knows what educators want its us not you

I would suggest you start to check the reliability of the evidence being used to argue for reopening schools and where it comes from before quoting it again.

I also suggest that if you wish to support educators then your question should have been on DfE refusing PPE in schools

If you would like a better fuller account of why I felt the need to speak to you then please read this thread turned article.

I would be quite happy to work with you to have a version fo into your paper,educators would appreciate it

Hope to hear back https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1247678149778866178.html
