Hancock says the ‘infection rate is RAPIDLY declining’ - I’ll assume he doesn’t actually understand what that word means.

Are we talking about a second spike in the first wave at this point rather than a second wave? All of those grouping we’ve had have been outside in generally good weather - outside the virus has a reduced transmission rate. The test will be when we start to have en-masse gatherings that are...

Yeah because the threat of a second wave has dropped now they’ve moved to the next part of the PowerPoint.

Minister for Drugs - Onandi Lowe

If they came out and said they were adjusting the guidance and actions at each level due to further information and scientific evidence you could kind of understand it as it’s an ever changing scenario - but it’s just more on the hoof thinking. Just be clear and upfront - it’s not difficult.

You realise those two statements completely contradict each other?

The problems in education are so vast - you could probably start an entire thread on it. Just one small example of something that is contributing to the inequality is class sizes. One of the positive things about independent schools is how small their classes are in comparison to state...

Ladies and gentleman - your foreign secretary who has probably also looked at what trade deal we could do with Westeros post Brexit.

Other than Teams or some subject specific website (we use something called Hegarty Maths) then it’s very difficult. Any student that is off-line it’s near on impossible to track. Some schools and subjects have gone for teaching new content - we went for consolidation of existing knowledge...

Which they’ve tried to do themselves. Will it be a wasted effort when the government finally get their finger out of their arses and give different guidance?

What made it worse before the U turn it had gone public that the Tories had whipped their MP’s to NOT change it.

Good to see Marcus Rashford force the government to U turn.

I don’t disagree with you at all, but there are still barriers for those that are keen to engage. Some people believe that the responsibility for a child’s education lies SOLELY with the school, and it’s hard enough having to address this when school is open as normal - never mind in the middle...

Once you move to remote online learning then it does start to create issues. Access to the internet, houses sharing only 1 or 2 devices (especially if parents are working at home too) - the fact the government had to suggest they’d fund equipment for kids at home means that it was going to be a...

20 years ago I worked for Levi’s and we spent one afternoon scrolling through the worldwide phone list and discovered a colleague that worked in the Asia territory called Fanny Pong.

It’s a bit like the time I listened to the Education Secretary talk about how the government are investing record levels of funding in schools. Now I know as an absolute measure he is right. That amount of money is the largest - what he fails to mention is that is because the numbers of people...
