Schools are a complex puzzle that will take a bit of care and attention to solve probably along with a reasonable track and trace system. I’m sure schools will get to it, yes, leaving documents for 72 hours seems obvious, lots of things for them to look at to reduce the chance of infection while the real risk is defined.
I think most of the things you see as unfair, wrong or a greedy scam have occurred because of the “rules” (I use rules loosely to describe necessity, regulations and negotiations whereby a purchase, contract, wage, pension, tax offset, bonus, benefit, etc, comes about, the power of money).
Companies and Governments all take advantage of the rules, why should people not do the same?
I did like your comment about us being “personally responsible for wage levels, and every time you buy cheapest or when that isn’t cheap enough you buy from abroad”. Reality is almost everyone does it, and it’s because of the “rules”. (I’m wearing a Primark tee shirt just now ��).
We have to follow a lot of the rules whether we agree with them or not and those we have a choice with have a cost associated with them. I think you need to learn to live with it or do something positive to change the rules, either way might help to ease your frustration.
One solution to the financial issues would be an equivalent of the South Korean Gold Collecting campaign except from the top down! The rich would still be rich but it would enable the rest of us to get by, or alternatively find a leader like Atilla the Hun.
