Had a 30 minute stand up argument with the 11 year old yesterday over the use of apostrophes.

Turned out she was right, but I claimed a moral victory.

I don’t bother - they are taught much better than I was. My 13 runs rings round me on most subjects - especially grammar.

Your year 8 goes to a better school than mine does.

I had to chase 4 different teachers to find out why my lad couldn’t log on. 2 I spoke to were fine and helpful. The other 2 were utter twats about it and acted like I was interrupting their day.

One set of answers he sent in were replied to with a “like” and when I double checked half of them were wrong.

I imagine some teachers are working overtime, and some are seriously dragging the lead.

That’s a bit shit. I’m not a fan of the grammar school system but I can’t fault what they’ve done for her during this - they can’t let their marks drop otherwise they lose kids to the other grammars in the city, so I suppose it’s an incentive.

They get all their work back marked, and if it’s not sent in we get chased up to see if we need more support, and if everything is ok. 
 

It’s certainly not as good as she being in the classroom (too much chatting with her friends in the online classroom!) but they are doing the best they can over this period.

It's 'swinging the lead' - as in standing about holding a line and plumb-bob...

Shirking.

Leaning on a broom etc.

Dislike - must do better.

The best way to catch a pendant is to spell it pedant.

I know the overall trend is down and we get these fluctuations after the weekend but seeing figures like this, at this stage, it's difficult to get to grips to just how badly we've done collectively. 

I hope there's at least one competent person left in the country to lead the inevitable public enquiry. The least we can do for those who have died is to make sure that every lesson that we can possibly learn is identified and acted upon.

Theres unlikely to be anyone competent running the country, so don't hold your breath.

aye, we're opening up again, so we presume we've flattened the curve

which basically means between 100 and 300 deaths a day is acceptable it seems

The bloke who supposed to be running the country is shit at it and works half days by the looks of it. Where is the lazy fucker again?

Planning how to spend the millions him and his chums have made From brexit and formulating plans how to spend the rest that they will make.
