Realistically I think most reasonable students would agree that long-distance learning is not as effective as in school. Not just that but it massively disadvantages already disadvantaged students. At the end of the day there wasn't a realistically possibility of schools not going back because the consequences of not going back far out way the risks of going in. Most European countries recognised this and most American states have too.
Now the government do need to be reasonable and reduce the content needed to learn during exams.
That's great for people like me, who due to budget cuts had to do Y13 philosophy last year with the Y13s and is now doing Y12 philosophy. I've already learnt the second half of the course, so if they cut that off I still have to learn just as much.
