NotThePars Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Torygraph reporting a study which suggests that 98.4% of kids sent home after contact with a positive Covid test didn’t contract the virus. Also making a big noise about the official study coming out the last day of term for most schools hahaha. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Falls in line with stories I've heard, and colleagues have heard, about teachers, nurses etc sat at home for 10 days perfectly healthy. Causing critical staff shortages at hospitals and surgeries (Raigmore Hospital in Inverness was really bad for it). A boy based in our Edinburgh office's wife (receptionist at a GP surgery) had to do this, she did 3 or 4 tests in the 10 days she was isolating and they were all negative. Fucking mental that this is happening. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be interested to know how this compares in terms of disruption to education versus a proper blended learning model over the year. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeTillEhDeh Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Would be interested to know how this compares in terms of disruption to education versus a proper blended learning model over the year.A proper blended learning model was never a possibility.Most schools have neither the capacity (due to the size of modern classrooms) or staff to run it. You could fit 10 pupils maximum in a classroom due to SD. In IT rooms this dropped to 6 and HE rooms 4.In my own subject area we could just about cover Senior Phase classes in terms of classroom space - could not fit in junior classes at all - and the Seniors got a maximum of 2 hours teaching - and only had a specialist every other week.I genuinely don't every want another 15 months like we've just had. Looks like they still haven't learned about making decisions earlier either - courses have started for session 2021-22 yet we still don't have the full detail of how or what we are assessing - another shambles left by Swinney. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donathan Posted July 23, 2021 Share Posted July 23, 2021 158 new cases in Australia taking the seven day average to 130. They've fucked it. With Delta having an R0 in the range of 6-7, only 12% fully vaccinated and very low levels of population immunity, I'm not even sure a full blown stay at home lockdown will get the R < 1. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh it would have been nice if we could have made her stateless but we nurtured her so have to take responsibility to feed the flames to such deranged people. Once we leave the UK then we can wash our hands of her. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And there is a lot of competition for that accolade. I assume this time round the Government will list exactly which jobs are essential (and therefore exempt) unlike last time where the likes of Poundland decided their staff were "essential workers" I also assume said exemption will apply only to attend work, and not just a blanket exemption to carry on as normal Edited July 23, 2021 by Todd_is_God 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not what 'blended learning' means though, so let's remove your straw man comparison from the discussion. 48 minutes ago, DeeTillEhDeh said: A proper blended learning model was never a possibility.

In my own subject area we could just about cover Senior Phase classes in terms of classroom space - could not fit in junior classes at all - and the Seniors got a maximum of 2 hours teaching - and only had a specialist every other week. One of the main outcomes of a blended learning model is that there would be fewer pupils at school at any given time, so I've no idea where you're going with this 'but there's not the space for that' argument. That is in fact an argument against the past 12 months of 'let's pretend that schools are magically exempt from distancing until oh wait we need to close down and/or isolate 30 folk at a time'. The proportion of students forced in self-isolation in Scotland's college system will be a tiny fraction of schools, because blended learning was in place for practical subjects and online only for the rest. There was no blanket closure in January and no laughable, back of a fag packet means of end of year assessment either - which will prove some laugh in the school system once the results come in.

After near on 1&1/2 years of p1sh and folk still don’t get it. Unless you’re a virologist and have ‘new news’ wear a mask ffs. Loads round me not bothering. See what that does for our numbers allowed in next round. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
