I’m in education, I think education is important. However, in the grand scheme of things at the moment it really isn’t.
Yes, gaps will grow.
Yes, some will do the work and some won’t.

In fact they are:
Preparing food packages
Preparing online/offline work
Preparing/delivering provision for children of key workers and others
Making community calls
Making sure those teachers in schools will be safe
Preparing to work over Easter
