Due to having no Wi-Fi my daughter and son could not do their google classroom. My daughter missed out on so much Maths she is now behind in her new school. I have had no choice to raise her self esteem and to instil confidence in her to get her a Maths tutor. Again more expense but also Covid related. Its extremely unfair on low income families to be almost penalised for not having Wi-Fi or technology to allow children access to SeeSaw and Google classroom. The government had some schemes but 1st years in secondary school were exempt. In fact I think they should have been a priority as if it wasn't stressful enough transitioning between 2 schools but also having so much time off school.
