Gaz Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 1 hour ago, Have some faith in Magic said: No Highers this year. Cue complete lack of interest from loads of kids for the rest of the year. Not in my experience. The majority of pupils at our school are working harder than they normally would because they know our judgement will be on their performance over the full year. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 I'm sure that the same schools that tried to bump up their grades by 20% across the board last time and got smacked down by the big bad algorithm can be counted on to be more rigurous in their assessment methods. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Master Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 1 hour ago, Detournement said: It's going to be impossible to get people who are already sceptical to take it if that's the case. Well to be fair, that would make the vaccine more or less the same as the flu one. Which means the virus will be endemic, and so long as those most at risk of serious illness or death are vaccinated there’s no more need to vaccinate the population at large than there is for the flu. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm expecting a new Tier 3+1 to be announced for Glasgow and the surrounding areas in the coming days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Szamo's_Ammo Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Covid: landlords want government support Quote Steve Griffiths, the Mortgage Lender’s sales director, said: “When the government was putting together its package of financial assistance for homeowners and tenants, buy-to-let landlords weren’t a consideration." My heart bleeds for buy-to-let landlords. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted December 8, 2020 Author Share Posted December 8, 2020 Channel4News has a second report in a row about a massive outbreak in a Scottish care home.

Paco Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Looks like the UK Government are asking schools to close on December 18th at the latest to lessen the chance of the little cherubs taking Covid into family homes at Christmas, and to prevent school teachers being on call to deal with Track & Trace if necessary. The Scottish government last week decided this wasn’t needed. Out-ghouling the Tory government - not a great look. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugster Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Don’t know what we clean highlanders need to do to get into T1 but at least we should be able to visit other houses. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 What's available to good, well behaved level 2 dwellers such as myself? Is the only difference really getting a drink with a Scotch Egg? Does anywhere in Fakirk sell Scotch Eggs and pints of T? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Creamy pints are available outdoors without food and leisure travel to other low risk areas for tier 2. Just as well that the Clyde Riviera has direct ferry links to the west Highlands while the plague railway is off limits. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought 18th had been standardised everywhere since august to make up for teacher lost days after the standardised august return? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
