BCFC Rich Posted March 20, 2020 Report Share Posted March 20, 2020 We are just finishing up first week of home schooling my two kids here in California. I have been so inspired by all the home schooling posts my friends have been posting and all the amazing things people are doing! Thought I share how things have been going for me to hopefully inspire a few of you who are starting this next week. Started the week pumped up and determined to make a good go of it - Monday's lessons mostly went to plan and as intended, kids seemed to have fun too. However It's now Friday and I am sad to report that I have had to suspend two students for bad behavior and fire one teacher for drinking and sleeping on the job. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our engineers are being denied entry to more and more trusts by the hour. That's really not good as I've never seen anything like that before. Extreme situation I suppose and for their protection. 3 minutes ago, Ronnie Sinclair said: Just on BBC News now, Northwick Park Hospital One of our sites we can't get in to.

Lanterne Rouge Posted March 20, 2020 Report Share Posted March 20, 2020 44 minutes ago, Midred said: The question is - "was there a toilet roll shortage before someone reported there being a toilet roll shortage." I'm getting more exasperated with the media at the moment in the way that they appear to be generating as much news as they are reporting. The number of times that an answer from an expert is misquoted or "misunderstood " by a reporter in order to muddy the waters is getting increasingly commonplace. Either that or the reporters aren't as bright as they claim to be! Media driven IMO. In these days of 24hr rolling news and the desperation to fill those hours with something this was always going to happen. They need to justify their existence somehow. I`ve given up listening to local radio (`your community service in this time of crisis `according to Radio Devon yesterday) when the breakfast show consisted of reading out a list of schools that were closed (which took about ten minutes to get through) and then read it out again fifteen minutes later right up to 10am. If you haven`t worked out that your kids` school is open or closed by then there really is no hope - and who the hell relies on local radio for that sort of information these days anyway? That and the endless phone-ins (`We`ve got a site booked for our caravan in Newquay in August, will we still be able to go?`). Just either stick to the bloody (non-fake) news or go back to some semblance of normality in your scheduling. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s what we can’t understand,how can it suddenly be ok to drive stupid hours and who will be at fault when a tired HGV driver plows into the back of a car 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Team In Keynsham Posted March 20, 2020 Report Share Posted March 20, 2020 During the election campaign and until a few weeks back I had learned to despise Sunak's toadying manner. He has grown on me a little recently. Seems to be stepping up more than Johnson. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
