gollark: <@332271551481118732> review draft:```Dear Mrs McGough,Given the current pandemic situation, and the school's mitigations to deal with this, I think it would be sensible to consider allowing sixth-form students (and potentially others) to remote-learn a few (2?) days a week.The new policies, such as staying in fixed areas of the school, shortened lunch breaks, the lack of vending machine access, and extracurricular activities being rescheduled, while necessary to ensure safety, seem as if they will introduce significant hassle and complexity to life at school.I think that part-time remote learning is a decent partial solution to this, with additional benefits like keeping possible virus spread even lower due to fewer people being physically present. While it could introduce additional work for teachers, they may have to prepare work for those out of school due to the virus anyway, and sixth form is apparently meant to include more self-directed work than other school years.Please consider my suggestion,Oliver Marks```
