Yes I agree - the government didn’t plan for that when they had 6 months to put a system in place. Instead they gave £5m to Oak to bang out some voiced over PPT’s. It’s not like HMI/OFSTED/DFE did anything useful during the time when we had to sort out CAG’s. Another frustrating example of...

Their can be no substitute for face to face teaching, I’m not even going to begin to question that, but the safety aspect goes beyond just the children. It’s their at risk family members, their vulnerable or at risk teachers or their at risk family members, even their vulnerable or at risk...

It’s not really irrelevant though is it. It’s been exacerbated since the 2010 coalition pretended that we ‘were all in it together’ as they crucified the poorest for austerity.

The poorest kids have been losing out in education for as long as I can remember. Funding stripped, rising class numbers, removal of support networks in and around education and social work structures to name a handful of the myriad of problems. Now everyone that turned a blind eye to the...

There is of course the Oak National Academy stuff that is out there, that has been funded and paid to provide remote learning resources for the whole of this academic year. Of course though, a quick dig into how it was put together and you soon find out that it was another no-tender deal with...

I agree that the Dems have not picked the right guy for this fight. Biden should really get over the line given the damage Trump has done over the last 4 years but I wouldn’t bet on the outcome at all.

Work life balance has been one of the major reasons for teachers leaving the profession. Some schools and heads get it, some really do not. I know I can’t teach from home effectively and we need to be in school for as long as it remains safe to do so, but the lockdown has shown us that we don’t...

I saw that - what an utter show of contempt for your constituents.

As someone who doesn’t work in that kind of industry why is it ridiculous? Just trying to understand

Sounds like an FBPE wet dream.

IF jobs can be done as well and efficiently at home then why the clamour to return?

Not that confusing. I know exactly that he doesn’t give a fuck about the spread of the virus in schools.

Maybe the one time where we benefit not having a stadium to maintain and run.

As one of the people that have gone for a Top 6 finish, I’m happy to admit I am stupidly optimistic and anything above 22nd is fine by me. But on the other hand we should never underestimate the power of momentum and a winning mentality. Even looking at the MK Dons game - we were down to 10 and...

Good shout IMO

The country is on its knees because Mr ‘Oven Ready deal’ and his cabinet of fucktards have somehow conspired to be world beating in how fucking shit their response was. But it’s OK to let work more people die to keep millionaires like that knob from Pimlico plumbers in hair dye and fake tan...

I read that too. Fingers crossed it’s accurate. We had one kid showing symptoms at school on Friday but not heard if a confirmed case.

And you’ve been failed by the DFE (and maybe your school/trust to a lesser extent) because adjustments should have been put in place to make sure that isn’t the case in terms of curriculum adjustment IMO
