Off Topic The Politics Thread

No offence Ellers......but that’s a silly post.

I wonder what the guidelines were before the lockdown considering they haven't even been published yet.

I think you will find advice was given out before the lockdown.

I have to disagree with you there (surprise) we took our son out of school at the beginning of this year to predominantly home school. We do this via ourselves and private tutors. It costs us but so far its proving to be a much better education and his predicted grades, barring one are now all 'a' or the now equivalent of. One on one teaching cant be beaten I'm afraid. The classroom situation in schools is shocking, especially now English is taught at mixed ability. It's the best decision we ever made. The violence and drug issues in schools has become impossible to manage.

That may be the case where you live but the schools around here are pretty good.

Quite frankly, I'm shocked.

The scientists got it wrong again, I assume?

It's not so much the schools being good but what goes on inside them. He was at ofsteds top rated school in west yorkshire. Massive drug problem.

Stay alert.

 

[bobmid]

Stay alert.

No that came last week. I'm just wondering what the advice was to schools that was given out before lockdown. I can never get an answer from him for any question.

Can you share a link to the pre lockdown guidance that you had for schools mate. Just want to show my brother.

Well back then they told you to wash your hands and others were talking about social distancing/masks. So I used the sanitizing gel before, during, and after the class. They sat down on chairs enthralled with what I was saying and I kept my distance, The class finished. Maybe when I return the classes will be small... who knows?

erm I never said guidance for schools, please don't twist it. I said the advice given. If you are so interested look it up?

 

[ELLERS]

Do we?

Maybe where you live but they are better here. Watford I am saddened with you... you should know that mate?

I wasnt trying to twist anything. You said that you just adopted the guidelines. I wondered what they were. I see it was the washing hands guideline.

Not really. Don’t have kids.

The missus went to Charters which I know is pretty posh but Brackers was flagged as not being great for schools as a negative of buying here. Much as I like my place the plan is still to move by the time I’m thinking about stuff like schools.

I'm smelling a little whiff of bullshit on this thread.
