Politicians lack the guts to admit severe pressures being placed on kids: Alan Jones

Sky News host Alan Jones says not one major party leader has had the guts to admit the terrible effects of the continued accumulation of pressure being placed on school children during this crisis.

“While many children were trying to prepare for the HSC, schools were closed down with no epidemiological justification,” Mr Jones said.

“The same kids are being taught by teachers who graduated with a teaching qualification, but were never themselves in the upper levels of academia.

“All we have heard for months are alarmist directions to shut down your business, sack your staff, the kids can’t go to school, and you are living on the wrong side of the border because a couple of hundred years ago someone drew a line on a map.”
