I despair with you and Kerouac.
What has Johnson done to deserve your support ?
Maybe if you knew anyone in the teaching profession you'd realise it isn't as the Daily Mail and other Tory rags paint it in the real world  |
I can’t see what he’s written, but you’re wasting your time. That one’s completely brainwashed to the cult. It’s gone well beyond the Daily Mail; a couple of them are well down the rabbit hole of full on propaganda. They’re fully signed up members to the whole Matthew Elliott, Alex Jones, etc., alt-right thing. You won’t be able to reach him, he’s gone too far. |  | | |

This thread was started to express concern about people, including some Planet Swans posters, losing their jobs at this difficult time.
It was then highjacked by a couple of posters who clearly couldn’t care less about those people losing their jobs but used it to divert attention to their political agenda. Scum.
I hope you’re ok guys and that the news isn’t too bad. |  |

And this is the point. I hope no one as Castell Howell or anywhere loses a job, but the reality is people will. This could include me or many of us on here. |  | | |

1. I do not live off the earnings of a prostitute
2. Universities are neither public nor private sector
3. I am not a lefty. I would suggest I am pretty centrist. Then that may be lefty to a fascist
4. You have no idea what my work entails. I don’t think you could do my job or even begin to. Nor comprehend the amount of work and sacrifice to reach where I am
5. I do not support BLM large scale protests or other mass marches. I certainly support the principle of BLM
6. I am more annoyed about Brexit ruining my children’s opportunities than for me
7. You are, in my opinion, a nasty and odious person. I just hope this is all a wind up [Post edited 24 Jun 2020 23:12]

The worst thing is, it isn't a wind up, this banger really has got a screw loose.

...and now Piker starts on the Universities, probably because he hasn't the intellectual capability of ever attending one and doesn't have any comprehension about what they do and what purpose they serve.
He'll be first in the queue to get a COVID 19 vaccination once they are available, developed by the very institutions he decries!
He is this forum's VILLAGE IDIOT without a doubt. |

Vaccines are a good example. Most come from university basic research and then usually developed together with industry. That’s how it works these days | | | |

Fair enough you do give a reply , the other halfwits just throw insults and in one case is so stupid can’t remember a post he did a couple of hours ago, you know the guy the one that advocates killing the old age if they voted for BREXIT and also said Covid will be good since it will mainly kill the old of which many are English and living in Wales, yet all you leftie scum think this is acceptable.
Anyway,mission accomplished and enough winding you lot of losers up for one day.

Castell Howell are a big outfit. They employ something like 700 people across West Wales and source a lot of their goods from Welsh farmers and suppliers, whatever happens to the CH staff the once on will be felt by suppliers across the region and yet more jobs are likely to be lost. This is going to hit South West Wales hard.
Brian Jones is the man behind the company and he is a really decent, hardworking, genuine guy who cares. He supports lots of charities, good causes, sports clubs etc and what’s happening must be really hurting him.
Over the last few months the cash and carry has been opened to the general public and I have have done some of my shopping there (as have others) and will do a bit more this weekend. I am not going away this year and when restrictions are lifted I will be supporting local businesses who his company supplies. Let’s hope the bounce back from the recession will be quick. |
Nice one Major, I think I will pop up there myself didn't realise they had a cash and carry. | | | |

K have you got school age children? Because I can tell you that's bollocks, both as a parent and someone directly working in Further Ed |
I do and the work that is set for them is pathetic.
They've finished it all by Tuesday afternoon.
The standard of it is appalling, spot the difference, colouring in, cut this out and glue it, shite.
The teachers have no contact with our kids, zero.
Then from Tuesday afternoon I set them the work.
My daughter now knows all of her times tables (the school doesn't seem to think the teaching of this to be important), can write in joined up writing (when corona virus lockdown started she had never even seen a lined sheet of paper designed to encourage good handwriting), can now tell the time, do column maths and is now moving on to bust stop method division (which of course, you can only do if you have learnt your times tables), and produced a series of paintings based on great poetry (she writes a stanza on the canvas and then paints a picture to represent what she thinks the stanza means underneath).
She now knows to look for meaning in a text and knows the names of the likes of Maya Angelou and Rudyard Kipling.
I have also taught her to play the recorder and how to pick out a tune on a piano keyboard.
Lockdown has been the best thing that could have happened to her education.
The boy was already ahead of his peers and scored highly in SATS tests, when he has finished the shite sent home by the school he moves on to Comprehensive level Maths (I explain it to him and set him some work. He has a go and I mark it before going over the mistakes, we only move on once I am satisfied he understood what we were working on), World History (he either watches a documentary and takes notes or reads a section of a book and takes notes...later on he completes a test I set for him to check comprehension.
The other day a family member was chatting to him and somehow got on to the subject of Turkey and the Ottoman empire (once discovering he had done some work on it), it seemed to me that the boy knew more about it than the bloody adult.
I manage to educate my kids while working from home at the moment, the people who are being paid to educate our kids however is a different story...
We have been told that the kids can go back to Primary school one day a week, the school will be open for 3 days because the teachers need the other 2 days to set the online work.
I could spend an hour or 2 and set better online work. If they haven't got sh*tloads of online work lined up by now what have they been doing the past 3 months?
...now, taking all that into account, I am aware that this is not the case in every school and for every teacher.
I am aware of a nephew in Comp who is receiving decent work and has video contact with his teachers.
I am aware of a teacher who works in a private school who has been doing video lessons via Microsoft Teams from the start of this lockdown and who gives feedback to pupils.
I am aware of a teacher who is the equivalent of what we used to call a SENCO, who is working from home and has enough work to be getting on with.
I am aware of a friend of ours who is a headteacher and is in charge of a Hub school...
….but I am also aware (through these people I know above) that a lot of teachers are doing somewhere between sweet F.A. and the bare minimum, and I am talking the majority...and that is certainly our experience regarding our local Primary.
Meanwhile, the Unions are doing everything they can to stop schools opening full time again and are in effect crippling the economy (as parents can't return to work when they've got to be at home to see to the kids)...whilst millions of people who wish they could go back to work sweat on their jobs. | |

I know many won’t agree but my experience with the kids’ school has been similar. It breaking my heart when I think what they are missing out on and I can’t believe I feel envious of people whose kids are getting a day a week. My kids school can manage two two hour sessions a month! Appalling behav iour by the teachers sending video clips of them performing and singing songs while the children got nothing. After the first month or so the local authority sent out a big back slapping press release saying how wonderful the schools have been, keeping in touch, etc, and surprise surprise, they picked up the phone and rang, probably out of panic and guilt. Appalling from our lot and defensive too so they can’t be questioned on anything. Ever since one of the top teachers became head it’s gone to the dogs. Great teacher, shite head.

Your wasting your time lads, the lefties have their heads in the sand and are happy to pretend the kids are getting a good education, in reality we all know it’s bollox , brought on by the teachers unions trying to politicise the pandemic, fecking shameless that’s what they are.
The report out last week said Welsh kids were getting the least support throughput the UK doing on average 2 hours a week work, but hey the lefties will have you believe everything is normal and the work shy teachers are putting a shift in 😆

K and Itchy some good points made there - what this pandemic has shown is that educational establishments at all levels haven't embraced digital tech and have always chosen the easy option (not all).
Perhaps if the government had chosen to be constructive from the start rather than the hare - brained hers immunity nonsense, we'd be reopening the economy earlier. | |

Less so at HE-most teaching has also been online here for years (including lecture streaming). We go back with a hybrid of lectures online and clinical and practical teaching, and tutorials as face-to-face | | | |

My kids haven’t been offered one online lesson or one to one with any teacher. All the work has been from online resources which we can easily source ourselves, which has then been forwarded on to us in pdf form. Pretty appalled tbh. My eldest starts secondary next term and I just feel so sorry for what he and his friends have missed out on. As soon as restrictions allow it, and I start earning money again, my boys will be having private tutoring. They’ll hate me for it but they need it. | |
