    It ain’t gunna happen guys. Don’t panic x
    “And when they look at you, they won't see everything you've been through. They won't see the **** that turned to scars that began to fade with time. They won't see the heartbreaking things that shook up and changed your entire world. They won't know how many tears you cried or even what it was you were crying about. They won't see how strong you had to be because you had no other choice. What they will see though is how compassionate you are because you experienced pain. What they will see is how kind you are because you experienced how cruel the world is. What they will see is how good you are because you've seen how bad things or people can be. The difference between you and your experiences are who you choose to be, despite everything that could have turned you cold and unkind.You are the good the world needs and the best of us.” ~ Kirsten Corley

    I feel like denying the fact it's going to happen will make it Worse for yourself when it happens.
    I'd rather be prepared for it and accept it's gonna happen instead of be in denial and then be in a shit situation because of it

    Thanks @GreenTea.

    I don't think it is up to us whether or not it will happen. I certainly don't want to decide.

    However, what is up to us is to ensure each of us feels supported and prepared no matter the outcome! <3

    I don't want it to happen and never said it was up to me?????

    I don't want it to happen but If you read the news and follow whats being said to schools...you'll know it's coming. Rather be ready for it than in denial

    Can change what you do in lockdown. Can plan for a lockdown. Have things in place. That's what I do and it helps. Being in denial about it makes things worse tbh.

    Hi @GreenTea

    Yes, indeed. I also want to be prepared. That is why I have already engaged in discussions within our community about how we can help if a lockdown was to happen. By doing that, I can ensure that support is in place if it happens. My Master's degree is in education so I am fully aware of what is happening in schools.

    However, both of you are right, people deal with things in different ways and both are okay <3

    Now, on a lighter note, who is enjoying Strictly this evening? :3

    Then we both know what's happening @GreenTea. This means we can both be prepared and support others too! I think that's wonderful

    Oh no @Shaunie. What do you enjoy watching on Saturday evenings instead? I like to watch Casualty! :)

    No @GreenTea, I wasn't. I am primarily aware of special education so students have been required to work from home from the start due to vulnerabilities. I am also aware that many practitioners have been requesting home working before Christmas to ensure they don't catch COVID-19 so they can spend time with their families and friends rather than isolating. I am now though thanks to you!

    I am really glad to hear that @GreenTea. I think the difference may be that you work in purely special education? Whereas I mean students with special educational needs and disabilities (e.g. Down's Syndrome and Cystic Fibrosis) in mainstream classrooms. Nevertheless, we can both use our experiences to support others and that is the role of this community! =)
