Yeah the easing in France looks really well thought out and the traffic light by region looks like a great idea. How are the restrictions for you now?

 

The French app isn’t running on the Google/Apple platform is it? Hopefully they update the architecture to this model as it’s low battery but I guess the damage is already done.

Sounds like your school is well prepared and the plan thought through!! We’re also doing the old school leave your details method as well - if it ain’t broke!

It’s already fully bi-lingual with German and English!! More languages are enroute according to the RKI

So all they need to do is make English the default language and do a quick check to make sure all the translation is OK. I’ll do that for £20,000.

There was a time when lying in the Commons was treated as one of the worst things any politician could do.

 

I know and his face when Starmer took him up on his lies last week on child poverty figures was gold!

The battles between Starmer and Johnson are so tiresome to watch. Always mouthing off instead of contributing something valid to the discussion, they're just as bad as each other. :rolleyes:

I think you’ll find that one is significantly more bad than the other.

They’re really not. One is doing his job by trying to hold the Government to account, which is needed more than ever in times of a national emergency and the other doesn’t like the fact that his dream job should involve a great deal of scrutiny and tries to cover stuff up by spouting incorrect information.

Eh Starmer does add detail to the discussion whil Johnson blusters and literally lies, don't know how you can put Starmer in the same category tbh!

I don’t particularly like either so I shan’t call one worse than the other - I wouldn’t trust either.

That’s fair enough, but the difference in their behaviour during PMQs clearly shows that one is worse for sure. That and the way the UK is being brought to its knees since December.

Coming from more of a Corbyn fan Starmer has grown on me but hope his campaigning is as good!

Germany’s app is being rolled out onto a bunch of other European App stores! This will make it easier for foreign nationals in Germany to download the app - given the target country list I’m betting that’s the aim.

 

Apple App Store locations are a bitch to change so most migrants don’t bother. I still use my UK details primarily but also have set up a German account for various local apps I need

I see a primary school head teacher has been suspended for allegedly "bringing the school in to disrepute" after saying in a radio interview that some of her staff have been "sat at home doing nothing during the crisis" Do you know what? I believe her. Yes, many have been doing the home schooling and some going in teaching those who's parents have to work but bet you some are skivving as she says. The truth often hurts. Well done to her for speaking out and shame on those who have suspended her.

"A HEADTEACHER has been suspended after she said some of her staff were "sat at home doing nothing" during the coronavirus lockdown.

 

Pauline Wood, head of Grange Park primary in Sunderland for 15 years, is being investigated for allegedly bringing the school into disrepute during a radio interview."

 

During the interview on BBC Radio Newcastle, the interviewer read out text messages from parents worried about the level of support schools in general were offering their kids during the Covid-19 crisis.

 

One suggested the idea all schools were working hard to help pupils was "simply wrong".

 

When asked for her opinion, Ms Wood replied: "Yes, some teachers have been in [schools], but many have not been in at any time. Safety is paramount, but don't make out teachers have all been working flat out."

 

 

She went on to say some teachers were working hard "coming up with the most imaginative, amazing things" but that others "sit at home doing nothing - I won't defend those people."

 

Asked if that included teachers at her school, she said: "Yes, I think it's time we talked about the elephant in the room."

Of course it is the case, just like in any organisation. Only when it is publically funded there is double the uproar. I'm a firm believe of keep your dirty laundary in your house, so while it may be true I don't know why you need to announce it. If people aren't pulling their weight discipline them internally or performance manage them out of the business.

I think she should be praised for daring to tell the truth and not suspended. There's rumoured to be a big campaign amongst the parents to get her re-instated ass she's apparently a popular head.

She's been appallingly unprofessional, particularly if she hasn't even spoken to the teachers she is accusing of not doing their job. After all, it is HER job to make sure her staff are performing satisfactorily.

There was a vote in the Commons yesterday on a proposal to ensure that all NHS staff were tested for Covid-19 weekly as a measure to help protect patients. Labour, Lib Dems and Plaid voted for it. The SNP appear not to have voted as it only applied to England and Wales. The Tories voted against so it won't be happening.

She brought this school up over 15 years from almost failing to being outstanding yet this is her reward. You couldn't make it up. :rolleyes: Have emailed the Governors as have a lot of others to express my disgust at their decision.

If her teachers are sat at home doing nothing then she is an ineffective head. She apparently knows this and hasn’t done anything but bitch about it. I should have known you’d drag something like this in here.

 

I’ll tell you what I’ve been doing during lockdown: I have adapted all of my resources so that they can be accessed online. I have marked and given feedback on every single piece of work that I’ve received. I have gone against advice and delivered paper work to the homes of more than 20 children that don’t have access to technology. I have been covering shifts in the hub for key worker children. I have been in constant contact with parents and social workers for vulnerable children. I have had to decide GCSE results because exams were cancelled on a whim and I’ve had to back up all this with evidence that was sparse. I have mapped out schemes of work for the new curriculum for Wales. I have chased up parents of students who are completing no work, not that it made a difference. I have been in work all week this week preparing for students to return to school next week. I also worked through my Easter and May half term holidays.

 

None of this has been done before. Teachers were given two days to prepare for closure. And why shouldn’t they take a bit of time for themselves during all this, everyone else seems to be entitled to. Perhaps some of these teachers have had days where they’ve sat around doing nothing, I’ve had the odd one myself, but if it helps their mental health, isn’t that a good thing? I would have thought you of all people would have sympathy there.

 

So yeah, the woman is a shocking leader if she cannot motivate her staff and then proceeds to slag them off publicly. She should be ashamed.

Jeremy c**t called for it in the press and then voted against it 🤦🏼‍♂️

 

Yes, the SNP have a long standing policy of not voting at Westminster on any issues where Holyrood has control over that issue for Scotland, unless Barnnet Consequentials are at play. Fox hunting I believe has been the one exception to that and they didn’t even have the vote in the end!

The SNP have generally been avoiding Westminster since remote voting was abolished and it all became a farce as Scotland is still in lockdown. They did come down this week to defeat the government on the abuse bill though.

Then you are a good teacher and full marks for all that you've done and are doing. That doesn't mean all teachers are as good as you though.
