They should be back anyway though, COVID practically doesn't exist in Irish schools @President_MU @NormaFoleyTD1 the children are not at risk
We could do with a dose of @POTUS today... Bold solutions would get ALL schools back in real life. #reopenschoolsIRL

Please re-open schools for all pupils including secondary before Easter. They need to do CBAs in school. They are depressed and despondent. @openschoolsIRL @NormaFoleyTD1 @MichealMartinTD @LeoVaradkar @INTOnews @astiunion @TUIunion

Let’s not forget our teenagers who have no classroom based school or sport or structured activity until after Easter. Everyday I’m hearing about teenagers losing motivation, staying in their rooms and becoming despondent. They need adult help and advocacy @openschoolsIRL
Wishing all students and staff, who are returning to school today, a very happy return. And thinking of all the children with additional educational needs in mainstream schools who remain unprovided for. HOW has this happened @NormaFoleyTD1 @MichealMartinTD @LeoVaradkar ??
Sisters Dawn and Sophie Hallinan both have special educational needs. Tomorrow Dawn who is in Junior Imfants goes back to school but Sophie who is 3rd class stays at home. Their mother Suzanne believes children with special needs in mainstream ate being left behind @rtenews

A leading Autism charity has accused the government of putting the interests of unions ahead of those of children with special needs. Adam Harris, of As I Am said around 20,000 students in 3rd class to 5th year will be left behind tomorrow when schools reopen @rtenews

From day one, the unions have ruled the roost with disastrous consequences for the most vulnerable children.

No John (John Boyne INTO), kids being in school for 3 months out of 12, during the first year of Covid, isn’t a ‘fantastic miracle’ and never will be. We are the only 1st world country who kids have been deliberately kept out of sen for this length.

As children prepare to return to school this is timely and valuable work from the @ChildRightsIRL which highlights the impact and inequity of reduced timetables for children with additional needs.

Adam, a member of @SpunOut's Youth Action Panel, joined us for the launch of #ReportCard2021 this week to highlight the impact Covid-19 has had on young people over the past year.
He drew attention to how difficult it has been for his friends living in #DirectProvision

The NCSE has produced this document to help children with additional educational needs understand the return to school process, and why they may be returning at different times to their friends and peers.
A good resource for parents and for teachers: ncse.ie/wp-content/uploads/2…

Seriously @LeoVaradkar ? Many of us are flying by the seat of our pants trying to get to frontline work after dropping our kids off. Others will be rushing back to sort out the kids left at homeschooling. Yet another insult. #ReOpenSchoolsIRL

Does this not clarify what we have been saying to you all along about the Supplementary Programme?? It's inaccessible and unworkable for children with AEN. @josephamadigan @Education_Ire @NormaFoleyTD1 @rodericogorman @MichealMartinTD
Polls on In person supplementary programme. 69% have no teacher/ snas to work with the child. Many schools not engaging with parents on the subject. @Education_Ire @josephamadigan @NormaFoleyTD1 @rodericogorman @LeoVaradkar @MichealMartinTD @WayneOCillAirne
