The blended learning solution sounded like the right balance to me. It's odd that they were bounced into a full return by a large section of a population that have generally shat the bed over this virus. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could have sent primary school children back FT, but those in secondary could have been split between home and school for 6 months. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sick of this shite anaw. In a roll shop earlier and I was the only person in a mask. No one behind the counter was wearing anything except the lassie on the till who had gloves on. A woman in full NHS gear comes in while I'm waiting and walks up to the counter, tries to order then goes "see this stupid mask", takes it off, sticks it in her pocket and orders her food. My maws man works on the buses and says hardly anyone wears them and if he questions them he just gets abuse. He was the one that told me at the start of lockdown that Firstbus had no masks, hand wash or anything & told them if they post about it on social media they will be sacked. Don't get me started on the b*****ds that cut about shopping centres with a mask on but folded under their chin so they can speak. Clueless. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you hear some of the engagement levels on the "home" stuff they had before the summer, I'm not sure that was a workable model 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melanius Mullarkey Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 I remember the EIS strikes of the mid 80s. We were in school on a Monday and Friday only for weeks on end during 3rd year and possibly 4th year and those two days were fucking useless. No Teams or home schooling. Happy days tbh. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You got a PhD, but are shite at football. Proof that the teachers' strikes had no effect on education but killed Scottish football. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, primaries need to go back FT, and the evidence we have seems to suggest younger kids don't cause much transmission anyway. A full secondary seems quite likely to put a rocket under any local outbreak. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a nonsense that in Scotland we don't take language teaching "seriously" till high school. I know it's a pretty common story, but when I was 15, motherwell rotary club paid for someone from the German class at my school to visit a German family, and for them to come back and be hosted here. My class was 5 nutters and me, so I got the nod. Went over there and lived with a family for a fortnight, went to school with the boy a couple of days. In English class they were reading Catcher in the Rye (which is a first person narrative written in the slang of its time) Meanwhile, in German class at home, I was learning how to say I had no brothers and sisters and to ask the way to the town hall. Not much has changed in the intervening 25 years, with the exception of a nod to languages in primary school. This boy was also learning Russian and French. Embarrassing stuff really I don't disagree, but to an extent being native English speakers is to our disadvantage in terms of learning a language - I imagine most foreigners learn English as their 2nd language and do so out of necessity rather than desire. Those of us with English as our 1st language probably only seriously study a 2nd language because we need it for work, relationships etc etc and who can predict at age 7 or 12 which 2nd language that will be? Added to that, many foreigners are able to pick up a 3rd language following success in learning English, adding to the problem we have here. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donathan Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Mmm. What about teenagers who live with other people? I understand that this could be quite a lot of them.Most parents of teenagers are in between 38-52, so also not vulnerable. HTH. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted August 16, 2020 Author Share Posted August 16, 2020 There’s a report in the Sunday Post today that there were cases early in the outbreak of elderly patients being discharged into care homes after testing positive for the virus. This is in addition to elderly patients discharged from hospital to care homes without having been tested for the virus. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
