RoundTable

My 13 year old is keen to know if there is a local weekend or after school chess club? Maybe one of the libraries does one? Thank you!

For the techies in here, a question about scrum qualifications. In my job I sometimes act as scrum master, and sometimes as scrum product owner. I’d like to get the certificate to go with my role. Which one do you think has more professional value? Personally, I think product owner is more aligned to overall business needs, but recruiters and higher managerial hierarchies removed from the technical day-to-day seem to be more in awe of the term ‘scrum master’. They have heard of scrum master but not of scrum product owner. Doing both is not a financial option at the moment, but I’d like to start with one. Thoughts?

I did, but their website is useless, hence why I asked.

Not used it in years. Does it still exist?

A loooooooooooong time ago. Such a looooooong time ago that the bulge years the expansion was meant to address have come and are almost gone. Somebody else might know the exact dates.

To answer your question: yes, a patent should take responsibility for the journey to school and by this I mean it is the responsibility of the parents to assess the proposed journey and the suitability of the journey for the child and what measures need to be put in place to ensure that the child is able to go to school safely (this may include taking the child to school until they are able to do so safely on their own regardless of age). In principle, a 10 year old could do the journey you describe. In practice, could your particular child do the journey? That?s up to you and it is your role as a parent to assess their capability. Some children mature at different speeds.

In other parts of the world children walk for miles to go to go school because that?s literally the nearest school to them. Puts the OPs question into perspective. Especially given the proven disadvantage that private schools now give kids. The quality of state schools is now so high that actually a private education is seen in some sectors as a disadvantage. The only reason for private school in the UK is for the same reason as having a SUV in London. In reply to the OP, a 10 year old could do the journey. The real question is: us it necessary? A few months ago somebody was asking if a car drive from greenwhuch to dulwich for a 5 year old to go to JAGS was doable. It is doable, but it?s also a ridiculous thing to do unless JAGS is your nearest school.

Jumping on the olympics, pride, Xmas bandwagon etc I can understand. But considering the hardships some people are going through, and the silver spoon of tbe royals, perhaps for some this bandwagon was too much to swallow, ethically speaking.

Nigello, the problem is that you have chosen to point bah humbug during the jubilee festivities. Do you do the same at Xmas and Halloween for example, and then post on here to say which shops have tinsel on them and which not? Your post smells too much of pointing a finger to those who do not partake on the rejoicing of the queen. You are upset that some shops have chosen not to celebrate the jubilee, and that?s your motivation for giving ?business advice?. June is LGBTQ+ month. Are you going to keep a tally of businesses who do not display the rainbow flag for example? How about Pentecost this weekend? Any thoughts on how businesses could improve their marketing during Pentecost next year?

Let?s play a game to see if it puts the bunting argument into perspective. The game is called ?how does the sentence ends?? The rules are simple; you have to complete the sentence below. The most accurate wins. Only one ending per participant. ?The jubilee celebrates the Royal family, one of the wealthiest in the world, and over the centuries it has acquired and accumulated its inherited wealth through??

For some people, leaving their home once a day to read a free daily newspaper in their local library can be an emotional and/or physical lifeline, so think beyond the headline. Luckily in the UK we are free to choose the type of mogul-sponsored press-releases drivel that has become of the British so-called media (aka ?cut and paste the press-release machinery). But that?s a different thread. In China, for example, there is just one type of state sponsored drivel, so count your blessings that in the UK we can chose from a wide range of press release drivel.

Quite rightly.

Your statement about getting an old banger so as to it be upset over small scratches, is absurd.
