That is true. But not all kids thrive in the classroom either. And not all kid are good test takers. There's always someone who isn't happy.

This is true; you won't find me championing the current education system, but there's a ,lot of concern here that some children simply disappear; they don't come online at the arranged time and don't email homework when they need to, but the teachers can't do much about it, so they fall behind.

Went over to chat to next door last night (I'm feeding their cat as they are away this weekend). asked if they were having a mini break, and they said they were going back North East to where he was from to see what job prospects and housing is like now. He's still on furlough but they recon the company has less than a month to stay solvent, and his wife was WFH, but has been made redundant. Crap times indeed. He wasn't sure that the NE job situation was better then Manchester's.

There will be lots like this - I've a feeling we'll see unemployment around 3 million once a lot of 'non-jobs' are cleared out, along with all the services associated with an office-based role (catering/cafe's, security, facilities, etc.) are no longer needed with staff working from home. Sports and entertainment staff are also going to have a difficult time.
It's going to be tough for a while.

Is it a high possibility that those in their 50's to 70's will be asked to 'lockdown' again? If it is then i'd just like to say that i for one will not be complying! Up yours totalitarian, state control, big brother self-gratification artists!!👎

They can just feck right off!! More will die of depression and hospital waiting times than this bloody virus!!
They're also talking of shutting pubs so that the schools can re-open. They won't be going back in September because the militant unions say so!

I read somewhere last week that there is a massive difference between the number of state and private school pupils who were getting effective online secondary education during lockdown in the UK. 8% as opposed to 72%. BTW, I have no idea how those figures were gathered.

Nor what is defined as effective.

There is a lot of "might" "is said to have" and "could" in that article. Journalists scaremongering.https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co....eld-pms-plans-avoid-second-national-lockdown/

I've read/heard it quite a few times,in the press and on the radio about 50's to 70's being forced into another lockdown. Even though most journalists are economical with the truth,they can't all be making it up.

Still journalists speculating. Your article says over 50s given personalised risk ratings. Are we all getting a medical then? Imagine the staffing required for that!

I've heard that they'll look (illegally) at our medical records and decide if we should or shouldn't be placed under house arrest.

The "live" lesson seems to be what is held up as the gold standard for remote teaching. I teaching in a state secondary school that has been one of the better ones at providing remote provision. As I have said elsewhere on here, this is because we are an iPad school. This means that all our students (and staff) have an iPad and we are used to using the platform to distribute resources, to set work and to mark and give feedback. This gives us a huge advantage over other schools where staff and students have had a huge learning curve and many students - even in affluent areas - are in homes that are not set up to access what the school provides.
This means that because it has been easy for us to provide the basics, we have been in a good position (as private schools are) to give live lessons a good go. I have not found them to be as effective as other forms of remote learning as interactivity is limited and it becomes little more than an online lecture. Our students have voted with their feet with less than half turning up by the end
