What the petition asks
To allow schools who have put hard work into organizing the trips take place as children are missing out on big opportunity’s.Is the government going to stop all school trips in the future if the virus carries on? children are not fulfilling their childhood to the fullest,by putting restrictions
because every single trip has been cancelled even in non infected areas
If the parliament is not taking action to prevent spread in England by shutting schools
why stop the ways schools operate?
I recommended you give a safer route or allow schools to carry on .
It’s all educational and you have kept the schools open for educational purposes?
So does this not affect children’s learning ?
They are only this age once and your taking that away from them
