vikingTON Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 NB: Loving the idea btw that detaining weans in a classroom all day and giving them absolutely zero responsibility for their own learning will set them up best for all those 9-5 office-based jobs that'll be around in a few years' time. Or indeed further/higher education where there isn't a state employee acting as childminder telling you to learn until you're legally allowed to leave the room. You'd be as well putting handloom weaving and shipyard riveting on the curriculum while you're at it. It's all completely detached from reality. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Data on testing figures since this was being discussed earlier. Looks like nearly 1 in 10 in the UK have been tested at some stage since late May. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The economy is in bits as it is Can't do it without furlough being extended, which it won't be, because giving people money to sit on their arses literally kills a Tories soul. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billy Jean King Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Home schooling is not blended learning, you imbecile.Show me where I said it was, again seeing what you want to see. I was referring to the period March to June which, for the vast majority, was supposed to be home schooling not blended learning. I will assume you are of reasonable intelligence and thus assume you realise blended learning will consist of in class schooling and home schooling. I may be assuming a bit too much but for now I'll stick with that assumption. Your angst for all things teacher / parent / children is utterly bizarre and it's not new either, this is just your latest stick to beat them with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy Jean King Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Dildo Hardon says 27% of all tests booked are by people with zero symptoms on presentation. Surely they just send those time wasters on their way. Yes the slot they have booked is already lost but it would save the sample going to already under pressure Labs. She also divulged that a "hard" percentage (her words) of those asked to self isolate for 14 days don't according to their analysis. When asked why, she said it had been established that it was "very hard" !!! Total shambles 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
effeffsee_the2nd Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 So if there’s anything my dafty layman brain has figured out its that it doesn’t matter how long or how strict your initial lockdown is, as soon as you take your hand off the button the virus just springs up again 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is absolutely no traffic on the M74 in the mornings or evenings and the trains after 5 heading back are absolutely dead too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
