Episode Synopsis "Episode 4 - Schools in lockdown: hearing from some actual young people"

In the daily news 'churnalism' of COVID19 updates, one group is talked about a lot but rarely if ever is given the mic to voice their own thoughts - children and young people.  The closure of schools and their pending reopening is discussed many times a day along with assumptions about how young people are affected by this but the voice of school pupils themselves is notably absent from the national story.  Steve and Chris have invited some actual young people to talk about the loss they feel following the closure of their school.  Steve and Chris also discuss the challenges facing schools as they seek to care for students as schools plan to reopen.  Education needs to be relational and personally responsive possibly more than ever.
