steelmen Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Posh c**t [emoji23]Ha ha, not me.Only choice we had when we worked but didn’t stay in Edinburgh to have her with us.

RH33 Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 Joking aside, it’s a challenge to the attainment gap as the small class number in private schools mean they’ll be able to operate as normal far sooner than others. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelmen Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 St. George’s are crazy small, 12-13 kids in a class. Ours has 20 but they are split up into smaller groups when it comes to maths, reading etc. The one thing we do have space and lots of it.My bosses wife works in their kids school and there largest class by area can normally hold about 37 and a teacher at a push but with social distancing it will only have 11 and a teacher. The rest of the classes are smaller. Their daughters class has 31 kids in it so they are preparing for her to be out of school a lot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raidernation Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 The previous school I was at here I had 34 7th graders (S1) and 33 8th graders (S2).It was terrible.No idea how they’re gonna cope now, but seeing that the school only retained 3 full time teachers for distance learning yet ALL of the managers were still on f/t pay I really don’t care too much 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Only bairns born since the start of the thread are eligible for inclusion.) My list, my rules! 252 children, 29 grandchildren A few caveats: 1/ Some posters have changed their user name, so there's a possibilty of doubling up in the count. 2/ The Chief (Hamilton Aca) is a Hamilton fan, Apparently there is another The Chief. (One of them should probably change their name to The The Chief.) 3/ Steven Seagal announced his child under his "other account" so he could be doubled up in the count. 4/ Some posters didn't have the manners to announce they were pregnant, and a random post would appear "My child is 1/2/3/4 and is now sleeping through the night/walking/starting university/climbing Everest" and would never post again. Some of these may have slipped through the net. 5/ Some posts seem to have disappeared (whether through a banning or one of Div's f**k ups tidy ups I don't know), and were only picked up because somebody quoted them. 6/ Many posters appear to have left the site 7/ There have been some heartbreaking posts particularly in relation to miscarriages, to which I can relate, as can many others. 8/ There have been some heartwarming stories, particularly Keigthy (and June) raising their grandchildren full time and Alert Mongoose adopting. 9/ Honest Saints Fan and sjc's daughter (Sakura) battlling with cancer I'm sure touched us all, and heedthebaa's grandaughter Ava's progress was also catching at the heartstrings, as were all the stories of premature births.. 10/ For all the chat about this thread being a haven of peace and tranquillity - which it generally is - there was a fair amount of bitching and sniping on the first 100+ pages, and some of the posts from The Kilt (under his new name) and xbl were extremely creepy, imho. However, it settled down after they stopped posting, coincidentally or otherwise. 11/ Despite their P&B reputation, Reynard and The_Kincardine were the epitome of sweetness and light when contributing to this thread. 12/ Nobody has had more than 3 children born since the start of this thread, although I'm sure there is still time for some of the threesomes to go for a clear lead. Over to you, lads. 13/ Special mention to scottsdad who appears in both the children and grandchildren list. Some boy! 13/ Slippery P is down for 3 as he adopted one, if I can remember correctly. 15/ The Phoenix came out of the starting blocks in the grandchildren stakes with 2 before the rest of us caught our breath, but was slowly reeled in by myself and heedthebaa with 7 & 6 respectively. 16/ Granny Danger has at least 2 grandchildren but I've no idea if the other one was born after the start of this thread. 17/ Raidernation also has 2, but again I'm not sure when the other one was born* * Rn is down for two, we'll leave it at that until he corrects me. Duly corrected - one only since start of thread. Lists below,open for corrections.

Sorry to betray my prole routes but my girl is at St George’s and she’s so fortunate in that lessons for her have in many cases been more productive than normal. Lessons over Teams, FaceTime calls with teachers etc to check on their welfare. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross. Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 I’m dreading going back into the office on Monday for that reason. Tend to nip into the other room several times a day to take him off his mum and talk gibberish for a few minutes. Makes the day a lot easier to get through! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure like you I’d much rather she was doing that and not glued to her tablet in her bedroom. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ingo ohne Flamingo Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 My Daughter turned 2 on Sunday, crazy how fast time goes by! Didn't get to celebrate Father's Day on Sunday so done it yesterday. Watching wee Juliana follow her big Brother around the place is so cute, you realise how lucky you are . Got this cracking wee picture of them on Sunday. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
