Individual players ratings = opponents team Glicko-2 rating + win/draw/loss averaged out for games played.

A win would be the opponents Glicko-2 rating +400 points
A draw would be the opponents Glicko-2 rating.
A loss would be opponents Glicko-2 rating -400 points.

What do you reckon?

In theory a draw against a high ranking team would be worth the same as a win against a low ranking team etc.

I'm tired of being told 'thank you for putting on a normal education for our kids', there's zero normal about any of it.

I'm surprised you even get thank you's, they are rare for me. I've worked in retail, distribution and security but I've not seen anything like the education sector, it's messed up. Some of the things my current school do are very wrong. The image that's given off is very different to the reality. As one headteacher was rumoured to have said "kids are just numbers".

What teachers do is often undermined by senior management and non-teaching executive figures. Haven't had any thank yous from parents or kids this year though, more just complaints about how crap it is not being able to do practicals and watching videos of experiments in random rooms. Not going to lie I'm there wanting to scream sometimes

Put it this way Pete every person who volunteers makes it more likely they will open up. No matter how many times my school says 'it's OK' I don't believe them.

That’s where I am it’s beyond crazy to open schools for the next couple of weeks

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Are the government really leaving this decision to the councils and schools so they can blame education for messing up kids chances?

Make a decision Gavin ffs

Can we start punching people who think it’s all a hoax?

How can we be the only country hitting 50000 infections every day? Why are we so bad?

They are probably briefing Williamson on how to ‘crack the unions’ after his failure last time.

What does Keir Starmer have to say I wonder

It didn’t work in 2010 or 2015 - can’t see how the fuck it will work in 2024 or 2029, especially given what has happened, and the ever-looming climate catastrophe we will face.

I hardly know anyone who was told to go back in the summer and I believe we have more at home still then pretty much all of Europe don’t we?

No, we don't. The city mapper and Google movement data don't show UK cities to be any lower than anywhere else

There were 75k cases by specimen date on 29th Dec.

Don’t see why. The man’s not PM. I’m sat here trying to work out if it’s safe for me to go to work or my kids to go to school. I make more tough decisions than that overpaid over stuffed prick.

There is absolutely no reason for you or me to work anywhere but from home. School one is tricky - think schools will be closed till 18/1

I just want the government to make these decisions Pete.

Work is using vague government guidance about “if you can” to claim I have to go in.

Should I keep my girls off to keep my Dad safe? When one of them is in her SATs year? I’ve got no faith. It feels like we’ve been intentionally confused then told it’s our job to work it out and if we don’t deaths are on us. Just total abdication of responsibility from our government.

Close the fucking schools until we know WTF is going on. We’re literally at the height of the pandemic if there has ever been cause for WFH and closed schools there’s one now surely?

No doubt about it, schools are safe....

Yeah if we did it before, it's unnerving if we don't do it now.

Sorry no

Ha ha, it sounded so believable
