What the petition asks

Close all Schools in London we move to tier 3 on the 16th December our children's safety should come first there has been so many cases in schools the school my children go to there is 2 classes off due to positive cases and a handful of teachers in my Borough it is 2nd highest in cases
I do not feel its safe for our children to be going into school remote learning would be better as there safe in there homes i live in a Borough that is 2nd highest in coronavirus outbreaks in cases children's health should come first so keep them schools closed its only 3 days till end of term we do not want anymore cases within schools and that will happen if u reopen them again the councils have said to shut them but the government has said you need to open or get sued I find it upsetting
