Steph, they should pay them extra if they are having to go back early. It's not clear what's happening with schools here either though. England are going back next month but not sure about Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland.

Absolutely they should pay them extra for having to go back early! We have a very conservative government in power right now in Manitoba so there have sadly been cuts to education, health care and public services. It's really sad - and they are intent on continuing the cuts even through this pandemic and moving forward with the budget and plan they had for the province before this all started. It was a bad plan before and its even worse now. Frustrating.
Mare, I feel like Ticketmaster emails might be coming in order of when the shows were? I just got the email for one of my concerts a couple days ago, and that show was supposed to be on June 9. Not sure when your BSB show was but maybe they're prioritizing sending out the emails for shows that were to happen a bit sooner? I worked for Ticketmaster years and years ago and unless something has drastically changed there, that place is definitely a shitshow with all this mess lol.

There was something mentioned about them losing their PD days which is ridiculous. I have a lot of friends who are in education here and they are pretty upset by this decision. Very bad judgement by the government for a lot of reasons. I hope they reconsider after all the pushback they're going to get.

That is ridiculous! How disrespectful toward teachers. Just because we haven't been physically going to school for the past two months doesn't mean we weren't still working and at least attempting to help our students learn. In some ways, we had to work harder to figure out all this new technology on the fly and then help our students and their parents navigate it, too. In other ways, it was easier, sure, but I don't think anyone on either end would say remote learning was easy or ideal. Teachers and students deserve to have their summer vacation as originally planned and should start fresh in the fall. Starting early is not going to make much of a difference in what the kids learn, but it could make a huge difference for teachers' morale and rate of burnout. I know everyone's worried about the kids falling behind, but they're all in the same boat. Teachers are aware of this and will adjust their instruction accordingly to catch them up next school year. We are used to working with kids of all ability levels and backgrounds anyway, so it's not a big deal.

That could be true about Ticketmaster emails coming out in the order of shows. My shows were back to back, and I got the emails on back to back days. They were July 31-August 1, so toward the beginning of the tour.

Has anyone else found themselves doing more online shopping right now? I'm so burnt out on stores cause of work, I've been ordering practically all my non-essentials online LOL.
