I see what you/others are getting at but the 200m rule is a big one though and seeing pictures of people running and exercising in public places is very, very different.
Italian lessons: what we've learned from two months of home schooling
Quite an interesting essay on home schooling children in Italy. As somebody who mostly found school very restrictive and uninspiring but in later life have looked at education completely differently through doing an Open Uni degree I can relate to some of the comments on how education can be modernised and facilitated in ways that can bring much more out of personalities who don't fit well into the traditional school system.
Yeah it’s easy to differentiate to that level when you’ve got class sizes of 1-3 TBF.
It’s not like teachers don’t want to do this stuff but the primary aim of schools as childcare centres and exam factories to get good numbers for politicians take priority. The biggest issue is simply staffing and timetabling. I remember talking to a Maths teacher about stage not age and the practical realities of implementing it.
The Tories have put the move towards a sensible education system into reverse the last ten years but there were hopes to move it towards more personalised, passion led learning and less rote sausage factory stuff.
That is actually quite an honourYou’re only supposed to be “local” here, that’s the official guidance. It’s just not enforced.
The point is that any restrictions on when you can leave your house are a lockdown. Some are stricter than others but they’re all lockdowns. A lockdown is a restriction on leaving an area. We are restricted. We are in lockdown.
This has to be up there as one of the stupider arguments I’ve had on this site.
Thanks will take a look later, I was the same at school and left at 16 with next to no qualifications but then ended up with 4 As at A-Level 5 years later.Italian lessons: what we've learned from two months of home schooling

I can't offer much back on your points as my perspective is only as a student but the media coverage over the last few years on testing and metrics is worrying and as I said, the traditional school system and methods clearly don't cater for some personality types (I'm sure that's improved somewhat since I left school) and the rise of the internet must have helped.
Reading that essay it's interesting how the pandemic is forcing adaption to more modern methods and you can see similar trends elsewhere. I think it is going to have an accelerating affect on many technology trends.
The paramedics are literally mingling with the public
Why are the NHS and Police encouraging and allowing this shit? They might get some likes on social media and their faces on the news.
Isn’t all that illegal?
Is it me or have we randomly decided recently to fuck off the whole social distancing thing? Roads seem busier, people less careful in shops, I wouldn’t be surprised to see us start to climb again in a week or so when this catches up to hospitalisations.

It does appear to be waning a little (which is why timing of its implementation was so important)
By and large I’d imagine a majority of the population are still following social distancing so it would be disappointing to see a climb in numbers on the back of groups of idiots queuing for a five guys burger !
Ps heard Ireland’s the same though which has led to an increase in cases over
Again I wonder whether the media's incessant desire for exit plan info is diluting the message .It does appear to be waning a little (which is why timing of its implementation was so important)

It all filters down doesn't it? People will see the media coverage of hundreds of people on a bridge talking to paramedics and police with no action and think Fuck it and start going out more.
It's the "IF they can do it, why am I sat in?" type stuff and they have a point. If the police and NHS are setting bad examples, why is somebody who's self employed going to struggle? They won't.
Yet if there's footage of 2 people sat on a beach surrounded by nobody at all you have all the cnuts shouting about them being evil granny killers.
Again I wonder whether the media's incessant desire for exit plan info is diluting the message .
Just as the Gov't have suggested it may.
French have imposed 120million Euros worth of fines - so even with heavier fines they've got people obviously ignoring it.We haven't enforced it I agree.
The question is if we are classed as a lockdown compared to Spain and Italy why haven't we enforced it?

been saying it since he got nominated there's something psychologically wrong with him.The full quote shows he’s talking about injecting it into people, along with exposing UV radiation into affected body parts
100%. The government have been clear they will announce the release of the measures in due course. I can understand why. For example you say that small groups of can start interacting again from 4 May...nobody can tell me that people wouldn’t start meeting on the days before that date (‘what’s a few days matter’)
I think the media (tv, press and radio) have been pretty poor through this whole process, constant negatively. Im all for questioning decisions/bringing government to account but some of the slants on headlines and stories have been embarrassing. Like the lack of use of the nightingale, this is great news as it means standard hospitals have been able to operated within capacity, something we didn’t think would be possible, but instead we heard from the Mail, Guardian etc ‘30 patients turned away’ (I’m guessing as specialist nurses hadn’t been redeployed to the Nightingale as there’s no need). FFS !
I overheard Farage saying it was only because of him and Piers Morgan that the government moved away from a herd immunity policy ?!! I mean, come on !
If we ever got into war you wouldn’t need foreign propaganda to damage the countrys morale any more, a majority of our own media would do the job for them !!!
Too many vested interests and biases
weren't there some deaths when people followed some of his earlier advice about taking one of the drugs (possibly the anti-malarial one)I thought the same but still an idiotic comment that will probably see people drinking bleach.
I think the questions asked by Morgan have been reasonable and the fact he has struggled to get straight answers means it's been an on-going daily saga.
I'm not sure what Farage thinks he's contributed.
I think he struggles because of the way he goes about it. The bloke just shouts and interrupts and pushes what he wants to.
The one the other day, a woman's video connection was lagging badly so he would say something and she was still reacting to his previous comment.
been saying it since he got nominated there's something psychologically wrong with him.
From statements like this to his attitude to women.
His crazy statements not just limited to this particular issue.
Going to be some great (disturbing) reading once his Presidency is over and people start to tell the truth about his administration
What's really disturbing is those (and the quantity) willingly standing with him in this venture.been saying it since he got nominated there's something psychologically wrong with him.

To be fair Piers Morgan has asked some valid/reasonable questions which need to be asked but in these type of situations there’s got to be balance for wider public’s mental health. i believe the media has got the balance wrong and as a whole appear to prefer to focus on every last drop of negative news rather than the positive bits (as the nightingale example indicates even turning what is potentially an underlying good news story into a negative one - I think the guardian article had two or three separate sources at the bottom saying it was good that the nightingale hadn’t had to be used - sensationalist, negative headline though)
not really, if you ask a government minister why they've missed a previously stated target or how many people are we testing I think it's reasonable to expect an answer which they've all struggled to provide.
Kier Starmer did a similar thing in PMQs and got a lot of praise for it.
Raab did in PMQs what every minister Morgan has had on has done, tried to duck the question asked by answering a question that wasn't asked.
They are still insisting that they will increase to 100,000 tests a day by the end of the month, that's an increase of 60,000 per day in 6 days.
Like the lack of use of the nightingale, this is great news as it means standard hospitals have been able to operate within capacity, something we didn’t think would be possible even just a few weeks ago, but instead we heard from the Mail, Guardian etc ‘30 patients turned away’ (I’m guessing as specialist nurses hadn’t been redeployed to the Nightingale as there’s no need).
