Local high schools mentioned in "Daily Record" online today

I worry that the lockdown is easing before the number of active cases is sufficiently low. I would have preferred to see the UK daily infection rate below a few hundred cases a day, which would likely be soon with strict lockdown conditions. If the numbers start going up again significantly, the schools won’t be opening fully in August, and children’s education will really suffer.

No one has offered an explanation for THS’s dramatic decline in exam performance over the decades. I could speculate, but it wouldn’t help anyone.

Its concerning as well that teachers are reporting that they are setting online lessons for classes of 30, and only 2 even bother to log on from home to do them. Some kids haven't told their parents that they have online lessons to be doing. I spoke to 1 parent who has kids home from school and she says that will not get up before midday, and then only play computer games - They will not do online lessons. And to cap it all, many folk say they don't have a good enough internet connection to do home schooling or working. But yet, they can figure out a way to get online gaming working.

anyone who is at school in 2020 is really going to struggle finding a job later on. They will be known as the Coronavirus Generation, who will blame Coronaviris for their lack of education, when in reality they, like so many of their furloughed parents are simply milking the system. Whilst there are of course some who get up and log onto lessons first thing in the morning, reports from teachers are that those amount to about 7% of the class. Employers will be avoiding the class of 2020 like the, well, virus.

A while back it was folk from the central belt. The other day it was public transport workers. Today it's schoolchildren. It's always women. Just to save us all the problem of trying to work it out please could you tell us who occupies the small list of people who get the Orkneycadian seal of approval. I have a postage stamp here and can provide a broad-nibbed felt pen for you to write it out.
