Hi there,


Could I please ask what other state primary schools are doing in terms of their virtual learning programme? Are your teachers doing lessons for the children (through Zoom or another medium)? Are they sending curriculum links? Are they asking you to send back work for marking? Just trying to gage what's happening during this period.


Huge thanks.

Just a short video every day (5-10 minutes) where they read a section from a book, then ask the kids to write a few sentences about it, maybe draw a picture, and do a very simple maths exercise. We then send in photos of the work - but it's not marked. However, this is only year 1!


They've also given everyone a textbook to work through, and recommended a number of educational apps.

This is set to be a huge issue for many families who don?t have access to PCs, Tablets, iPads or broadband. The government will be in breach of the law.

We would not be closing them if they had some basic things like:

Absolutely disgraceful. I was shocked that hot water and soap were not available or rationed in schools in this country. No wonder kids (and their families) get bugs as soon as they start going to school.

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      By Blah Blah · Posted

      Morally they should, but we don't actually vote for parties in our electoral system. We vote for a parliamentary (or council) representative. That candidates group together under party unbrellas is irrelevant. We have a 'representative' democracy, not a party political one (if that makes sense). That's where I am on things at the moment. Reform are knocking on the door of the BNP, and using wedge issues to bait emotional rage. The Greens are knocking on the door of the hard left, sweeping up the Corbynista idealists. But it's worth saying that both are only ascending because of the failures of the two main parties and the successive governments they have led. Large parts of the country have been left in economic decline for decades, while city fat cats became uber wealthy. Young people have been screwed over by student loans. Housing is 40 years of commoditisation, removing affordabilty beyond the reach of too many. Decently paid, secure jobs, seem to be a thing of the past. Which of the main parties can people turn to, to fix any of these things, when the main parties are the reason for the mess that has been allowed to evolve? Reform certainly aren't the answer to those things. The Greens may aspire to do something meaningful about some of them, but where will they find the money to pay for it? None of it's easy.

      Yes, but the context is important and the reason.

      That messes up Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland - democracy being based on citizenship not literacy. There's intentionally no one language that campaign materials have to be in.

      TBH if people don't see what is sectarian in the materials linked to above when they read about them, then I don't think me going on about it will help. They speak for themselves.  I don't know how the Greens can justify promising to be a strong voice for one particular religion. Will that pledge hold when it comes to campaigning in East Dulwich (which is majority atheist)? https://censusdata.uk/e02000836-east-dulwich/ts030-religion
