Unconventional Thinking

This afternoon.

Dáil, Leinster House, Dublin 2.

Sinn Féin TD Matt Carthy (top) criticises seating arrangements in the Dáil chamber as a return to the Convention Centre is rumoured.

Meanwhile, People Before Profit TD Richard Boyd Barrett  (above) called out the €25,000-a-day Convention Centre cost, saying:

“We are spending about 50 times more on insuring adherence to public health guidelines per TD than we are spending per pupil in school.”

    Maybe they should move to the dockside building Google rejected, and let the National Library and Museum extend into the rest of Leinster House.

    Ensuring.

    There are too many kids, though, so it’s easier to think about the Dáil and forget about pesky education.

    How’re things going with schools? Are yizzers happy with how the return to school has gone so far?

      The kids being back in school presents its own challenges and being a single teenage mother is hard especially when you are a childless male in his thirties but my experience of it so far is very good.

      Yes, Our school has been brilliant. The principal, teachers, staff and BOM did trojan work to get the chisselers back. They have different routes in/out school for different classes; different times for different surnames.
      Within the class are in small groups (6-to-a-table) and have minimal sharing (the small groups will change at mid-term).

      My only quibble is they seem to sanitise their hands too often – but that will sort itself out.

      We’ll see how it holds up – especially if there are any cases in their classes or in the school.

        Aye. The real test is actual Covid. Let’s hope it doesn’t arise.
        I got an email last night with a sample letter attached showing us what they will send us if there is a case/are cases. Complete waste of time.

    my kid came home with a yogurt pouch they couldn’t open. the teacher wouldn’t twist the bloody top off the thing because of either pure laziness or fear of the dreaded covid. my kid has a neuropathy in her hands and feet due to the drugs that saved her life. the teacher told her to bring a yogurt she could open in the future. my kid was just worried she upset her teacher.
    that is the kind of stupidity that’s out there. its strikes me as the same type of hysterical bullshit that surrounded AIDS.
    we need more public information ads etc. rather than hollow tripe like ‘we’re all in this together’ shite
