If we can get parents up to speed with this online learning I reckon we could cull a few thousand teachers. PE and HE first to go.

At least....

The Yr10 young fella asked for help with quadratic equations for his maths work.

Had to do a wee google as a refresher as it's been a while for me to do those things!

Many parents will be scratching their heads over the next few months with kids in these age groups potentially going to school for 1 or 2 days a week come September.

In all honesty, it's really hard to see how Sept will work. My outlook was half optimistic and half reckless... Hope that by August comes the thing is all but gone and we just up sanitation and we're back to as close to normal.

After a few talks today, that looks pie in the sky. This half school/half home thing looks like a logistical nightmare for everyone.

f**k but I am over Teachers. Did anybody hear the one on Radio Ulster this morning whinging because she has to predict grades? And they are also blocking the return of schools when it has been shown over and over again that the risk to under 70s is minuscule. Time to get tough. No return to work - furlough and then redundancy.

Teachers need to be faced down. They've to much power. Tail is wagging the dog.

Yes, let's make all teachers redundant. Trailer (and other parents, according to him) really need a wee message of hope that things will go back to normal some day. This is the opportunity.

Not all just those who refuse to work. There's piles of Teachers. f**k sake there's more teachers out of work than in work.

The equilvant of 18 300  full time staff are employed  in northern schools.

Given his disregard for teachers perhaps he can't do sums.

I think his was a shortened version of "Show your working out" in relation to your reference to sums. Although his question mark could be dubious.

HS - That is a good observation.

Yeah for me it's worst of both worlds.
The cost of managing it will be very high too.
I'm not sure if I've said it before on this thread, but I think they should have put a full pause on education at all levels for a year. Aim to bring all kids back to school on are around 1year after they were all sent home. It would resolve exam/predicted results issues as everything could pick up where it left off.
The hope would be we are fully on top of the virus by then, or possibly even have a vaccine. So for me it simplifies all the issues with education, and is lower risk with respect to the virus spread.
There's the issue of parents returning to work to contend with but that might be easier managed with employers than all this hassle with part school/part home.

Here you have it. The cat is out if the bag. Pause a child's education. f**k them. Not a mention of remote teaching, online lessons, nothing. Just pause education. We can have the time off, on full pay, to go golfing, learn to play the guitar and catch up on some Netflix box sets. Teachers are using this as a cover to refuse to go to work. Nothing less, nothing more. The rest of the population has to go to work, some serve on the front line but not precious teachers. We're all in this together, expect some aren't and they're going to prove it.
The risk to children and teachers is absolutely minuscule. Teachers as allegedly "educated" people should realise this.
