In summary, the DfE created a whole load of aggravation for schools for little discernible benefit. Plus ça change.
For the avoidance of doubt, I don’t support the use of face masks in school at all and I don’t support lateral flow tests in school either.
@farleigh has previously pointed out that I sometimes change my mind on things, so to save them time in dredging up old posts, I’ll admit that I’ve previously thought both might help in keeping schools open/reducing the spread of the virus. Having seen the practicalities of both, I’m less convinced.

@theironroad pops up with another post to tell me I’m a danger to transport and shop workers, I’ve been doing the LFT twice a week as encouraged by school, wear a face mask in areas where it is recommended and I follow all of the guidelines at all time (I’m still awaiting an apology for the outrageous outburst back in January!).
