No, what you said was "I can assure you that this isn't true in general" when I said that scientists use statistics. I'm making the point that evert scientist I know does use them. It isn't arrogance - just calling out bollocks when I see it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just need to want to find it. Hang on - you said I wasn't the only scientist on here. I'm asking the others to come in here and say what they think. Unless there is an article somewhere studying the professions of P&B users, I don't think the literature will help. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paco Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Sounds like a delay to Level 1 coming. Despite cases being out of control in Level 2, we’ll stay here and hope for... something... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised folk don't do it for fúck all. An unnecessarily sarcastic response, bizarre. You can’t be serious with this though. Are you seriously suggesting that having a mountain of holiday time compared to the vast majority of professions is not only not a key driver for why people choose the role, but is in fact actually a negative of the job? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the positive side, she's not talking about rising case numbers alone. She's talking about them in terms of vaccination progress and also the SG have in general started talking about the link between cases and hospitalisations/deaths. So there's some more encouraging noises there. We'll just have to wait and see. No area should be moving back up a level. I think the worst case will be another few weeks of everyone on Level 2 but we'll need to see. I'm in the same boat. This was apparently pencilled in as the date to announce a nationwide drop to level 1, but clearly not going to happen. There was talk of some areas going to level 1 but the Tories (boo, hiss) are against that. I guess they want everyone moving down the levels together for some unknown reason. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
super_carson Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Are there major differences between levels 1 and 2 that would make much of a difference anyway? Crowd sizes and household mixing aside, aren't they much the same? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely, it's a negative. Oh, it's a selling point initially, but the reality is that teachers don't get quite as much time off as you'd think - decent ones will plan ahead for the next AY in their own time, and it's undeniable that any travel will cost them more. Their lives are absolutely tied to term times, and they cannot simply drop everything at any point outside school holidays for such as weddings, stag dos, or all those other wee breaks the rest of us take for granted. Anyone joining the profession for the time off won't last long, or if they do, will be shit teachers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crowd sizes and household mixing aside, aren't they much the same? AFAIK “6 from 3 households” is actually a Level 1 restriction, so basically when Level 2 was brought in, household mixing was actually relaxed further than originally planned. For that reason we could move to Level 1 without any change in household mixing rules. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
