It’s Friday night, I adore the BBC but tonight’s news report on remote learning was lacking comment from 2 of the biggest stakeholders in education:
Teachers & Pupils.
If you didn’t see it, the report was speculating as to why some schools aren’t providing live lessons

There are children sharing devices. There are children using a parents mobile to access the learning. There are parents who are working all day and can’t ensure their pupils are online.
Live teaching means that these children miss out. It is not always equitable.

Every school knows their community so so well - vast majority have consulted with parents and understand individual circumstances.
The profession is moving mountains to provide learning in such challenging circumstances.
These reasons (and others) should have been aired.

It’s particularly irritating for me as I was called this morning at 7:30am to ask if I wanted to go on the radio and discuss the lack of ‘clap for heroes’
I declined but asked if they were looking for someone to talk about remote learning.
It appears they weren’t today.

Journalists are working overtime, I wholly understand that. But consulting with all stakeholders in such a is crucial.
If someone at the BBC does see this, I hope you don’t take this as outright criticism. But if the full picture isn’t presented, teachers will need to speak out.
