Require schools to provide online classes as an option to all children

What the petition asks
All schools should offer the option to provide online classes to children, until children are vaccinated, like some schools in America. Parents should be able to choose whether to send kids to school or opt for online classes to safeguard children and adults at home, until all are vaccinated.
At present head teachers/councils are not allowing parents to choose potentially leading to legal charges on parents who are not sending kids to school.
Rather than forcing parents to send children to schools, this should be optional. So an option should be provided to parents to choose, either to send children to school or attend online classes from home, until everyone gets vaccinated from COVID-19.
