I'll just leave my 5 year old and 8 year old hanging around outside
school until I can get back home on Friday then.
Schools are not going to leave 5 and 8 year olds "hanging around"
outside. I'm pretty sure that *many* parents will have been late picking
up children yesterday.

Indeed, it was one of the things that was announced - that children
would be quite safe at school, doing their normal activities, but would
not be leaving the campus for swimming, etc. I'm quite sure their
teachers would, for once, have been happy to supervise them until the
last child was collected.

What was announced and what was done were two entirely different
things. At my children's school the children were let out of school
regardless so don't talk such utter ********.

It might help if you left a bit of whatever you're replying to in - just
so that we all know what your talking about.
