Peer pressure is a very different argument to the educational needs and what they are actually learning.

A lot of school is about your relationships and that may actually be a bigger problem than the academic schooling itself.

Fair play to your daughter for keeping her head down, but remember it starts at home and with the parents so a big up to yourself for properly educating her.

If every parent did that across the board and in normal life, we’d have a much better society and a better future to look forward to for the next generation.

A guy came round to put new windows in for me today after a burglary. His small talk was “back to normal at last, eh?”. Went fishing in the afternoon and there was a group of six teenage girls having a picnic. I went round to pick up a curry tonight and there were 6 chefs cooking together, no social distancing, no masks, nothing.


I reckon the country has abandoned lockdown and there’s going to be a huge spike in cases in the near few weeks.

I’m probably not in a position to pass judgment here because I’ve been out today, although within the guidelines set.

What I did see whilst out was significant traffic, I’d go so far as to say like a normal Friday. They could all have been doing what I was, ie driving to a walking destination, but I doubt it with the volume that existed.

I think the biggest concern is that families are now reconnecting. Whilst out, there were large groups of people, car loads meeting up etc for the trail.

That will also convert into household meetings, I’m certain of that.

Like I’ve said all week though, that is by design in my opinion.

For very different reasons, I’m doing exactly the same thing.

Im averaging about 4 hours sleep, getting up eating breakfast, then knocking out 20k on the exercise bike. Few weights, lunch and then a 6 mile walk. Rinse and repeat.

Strangely, I feel like a million fucking dollars.

I miss working but in some ways this lock down has been a blessing.

You do know that teachers have to plan lessons and mark work, don’t you? It’s not a 9:30-3:30 job. That’s their lesson time. Even milk time has been taken from them.

Like I said in the message you have quoted, it’s not a debate for this thread.

I have my point of view on it. Best to just leave it there.

Salary. Working time.

The usual suspects, but that’s not a debate for this thread.
