Luton airport's been great every time I've used it.
To give this post more purpose, our teachers met today to go through plans for returning. In a nutshell, from June 1:
- Reception, Year 1 and Year 6 classes will all return, split into two groups of no more than 15
- Key worker children will continue to be split into two classes
- That means all classrooms will be occupied, so Years 2-5 will not be returning before September
As Year 6 teacher, I'll be back in full time.
The plans for schools re-opening sound fucking ghoulish - which isn't necessarily to say it shouldn't happen, but it'll be hell on earth in there, and as for delineating people into 'key worker children' and others, sounds a trifle East German.
It's had a mixed response, it's fair to say.
Doesn't the 'key worker' category cease to exist in its current form once other sectors are open again?
Yeah when can I go back to spitting on checkout staff?
June 1st? When do you normally finish or do they want you to make up time over the summer?
Govt not making amount of folk tested available anymore
I'm still enjoying them dumping the 'how many dead' competition as soon as we 'beat' Italy.
Apparently not.Originally Posted by Lewis
Is this for a head teacher/whoever to make up themselves or do they get given guidelines from HMG? As your list of rules stinks of the former.
I know it's the former with Nursery's. My daughter is (hopefully) starting school in September and her Nersery are ignoring the government guidance to prioritise kids in transitional phases of Education as we've been told it's highly unlikely she'll be going back.
Luton Airport is a shithole that I'm glad to be banned from.
This better be good.
Drunken behaviour or something spicy?
Usually 2nd or 3rd week in July. None of these mammoth Irish summer holidays!
Yeah all ours, excluding second level exam years, are normally wrapped up before June I think
Do they want you to just do a couple of weeks in July then or is that your summer gone?
We always finished school the first week of June. I can't imagine being stuck in a classroom in mid June, sounds torturous.
We don't live in the desert.
I'd been up all night coming back from a festival in Belgium, so was pretty out of it. I left Spoons in the airport relatively early to make sure I didn't miss my flight, but somehow got to the gate and it'd closed. The worst part was I left before my mates at Spoons but they all made the flight.
There were about fifteen other people at the gate who had also missed the flight shouting at the Easyjet staff, so I just hung at the back knowing that there was no way they'd listen to reason (there was 25/30 minutes till the flight took off). The staff then walked off and the crowd dispersed. I was a bit fucked because I don't leave festivals with more than a few quid to my name, so had to come up with something spectacular.
I could still see the plane with the stairs attached, so I pushed the door to get out but it was obviously locked. I walked to another door and again it was locked. I knew one way to guarantee getting through, so I went with it. I looked around to see if anybody was watching and I pressed the emergency exit button.
The alarm started going off and I pegged it towards the plane and up the stairs with my boarding pass in hand, only to be greeted with "you're not supposed to be here! Get off!"
I went down the stairs and a few high-vis jackets were waiting for me.
"Do you have any idea how serious what you've done is? Give me your passport."
I knew from being a steward at Brighton that a high-vis meant nothing, so I refused them my passport but then a copper turned up and I played nice. I basically told him that it was a stupid yet desperate act and I didn't see any other way out.
Apparently there was a fire drill the day before, so they thought this was a mistake and turned the alarm off without evacuating, which saved my arse. He passed my details onto the airport to stick me on the no fly list, but apart from that I was released to fall asleep on a train and miss my stop at King's Cross.
ffs
You fanny
It's more that restlessness would be sky high when it's the best weather of the year and you're forced to watch it through the window.
That's true for my part of the country, but north of Watford they only really have 1 season in this country anyway

Get picking lads.
Isn't the real reason nobody can be arsed with it that they all want you to go live on site in a fucking caravan or something and then dock your wages for the privilege? That could well be some twisted, Twitter-filtered version of reality that my brain has just absorbed at some point over the last few weeks though.
Well and it's horrible hard work.
That’s what they all do here anyway.
Who was picking it all before the Eastern Europeans? It's a scam, and all the farmers want shooting.
You’d think in this day and age there would be a machine to do it anyway.
There are shitloads of British people who would/will go and pick, particularly when there's no/little other work about, but they'd expect the minimum wage to do so and farmers will be dragged out of their farms screaming before they voluntarily pay that.
Guidelines, and then senior leaders will be in regular communication and plans drawn up from there.
Every school will have their own plan, but many of them will be very similar.
Those Swedish carnts arent looking too smart now are they...

It's the same problem as us. Care homes.
SBS did not mention care homes.
I am getting far too much enjoyment from the States sledging each other.
PMQs have been good viewing. England really is full of horrific, weird cunts. This Brexit mess will make sure Tories are in power for many decades, won’t it?
I don't think anyone reasonable was expecting that they get fewer short-term deaths through their approach. The concept is that on the long term it will have been a healthier approach.
Southend Beach looks like the pits right now unless I’ve been duped into an old photo.
It's been like it a good few times since they eased the lockdown. It's all the cunts from East London.
Yeah I think the govt want 'face to face' teaching for exam classes before the summer, but no idea if thats likely. Won't be teaching through the summer holiday, even if the loons want that to happen.
Roads into North Devon are apparently 'gridlocked' with people coming down for the bank holiday. I don't know where they think they're going to go, plus there's been plenty of people shopping their second home-owing neighbours for re-locating down here during lockdown.
Piss off, we're full
Do what they did in Wexford and Waterford here and slash tyres and threaten to burn them out.
Drop the bomb.
Rather than coming for the bank holiday, isn't it just the massive number of furloughed people (I say the word 'people' with a scowl) all going on day trips in the sunshine?Roads into North Devon are apparently 'gridlocked' with people coming down for the bank holiday.

You’ve forgotten that most people are fucking idiots.
Speaking of people being idiots.
Worse, it's caravaners.
You still up for that pint later?
Don’t forget to dial me in
