Parents have said they will have no hesitation in sending their children back to school if they reopen on June 1 - and don't understand why people are 'putting up barriers to move forward'.
Schools were told to bring back reception, year one and year six pupils from June 1 'at the earliest', with other primary years returning later in the month.
However, the plans have been thrown into doubt by a mass revolt from unions and councils, which have argued it is too soon.
Schools have been closed since March 20 and as backlash against plans to reopen mounted, the government stressed June 1 was the earliest possible date, and pupils would only return when it was 'safe' to do so.
Despite the growing uncertainty, many mums have spoken out to say they would have no issues in sending their children back to classes if the June 1 deadline became reality.
In a post on Mumsnet questioning who would be sending their children into school, many parents said they would be.
One wrote: "I will. So fed up of all the hysterical, militant people screaming and shouting to get their way. If you don't want school, then home school, more room for my child."
A second said: "Mine will be going back as soon as they can. There were confirmed cases in their school for weeks before it closed so I don’t consider the risk to them to be any greater now."
A third replied: "I think that most people are very aware that it won't just be business as usual for schools. I am fully expecting that school could be part time/staggered times, smaller groups, and all sorts of other conditions'.
"However I'm not sure why some people are so determined to put up barriers to moving forward on anything."
One mum said: "I’ll be sending my year 1 back and once my office reopens and I can no longer WFH I’ll send my year 3 to school too when working as we’re both key workers. Smallish village school with one form per year, not too concerned."
Another simple answered: "Hell yes."
However, many parents also said they wouldn't be willing to, with one replying: "Not a chance."
Another said: "Thankful that mine aren't in the years mentioned but I wouldn't if they were."
A third wrote: "I think probably not unless the next three weeks bring significant improvements and we are provided clear and workable methods as to how any teacher stands a chance of delivering education safely."
