You opened the pubs on the 4th of July.
Are you telling me you couldn't have had socially distanced exams at the end of June?
#AlevelResults
The underlying inequalities in terms of access to online teaching resources were going to play out in any assessment made of these kids, but to allow them to be downgraded based on their school's previous results... That's inequality ON TOP OF inequality.
#AlevelResults
Regarding feasibility:
Exams don't all happen at the same time. We could literally have had one exam at a time, with an exam supervisor in every class room and sports/assembly room across the school and 2 metres between everyone.
Social distancing 100% respected.

Captain hindsight, I know. But I'm not @educationgovuk.
In March WE KNEW:
▪️Social Distancing = 2m
▪️Inequalities between schools made funding online tools in deprived areas urgent
▪️Having to cancel exams last minute is better than the elitist guesswork we'd end up at otherwise
And yes, I realise now that I should be ashamed of myself for not saying "2020 hindsight" right there. If there was ever a moment to say it...

It's time to start putting Tories in jail.

Donald Trump and Boris Johnson are guilty of the same crime!

I don't know or care if I've already shared this on here.

It's OUTSTANDING.
Whenever I gave talks in schools, with 16/17-year-olds, I'd start by asking them if they cared about politics.

Very few hands would go up.

Then I'd ask if they care about shop prices, jobs after school, NHS treatment.

All the hands went up.

I'd then say "That's all politics".
That was me, until I was much older.

I didn't care about "politics".

I was a black kid born in Darlington, growing up in Dundee and Birmingham.

"Politics" was old, rich, suit-and-tied, white men, shouting at each other hundreds of miles away.

I saw zero connection to my life.

Oh and let's be clear...

If a white police officer refuses to arrest a sex offender becsuse they don't want to be called racist...

They're NOT doing it to protect ethnic minorities...

They're doing it to protect their own WHITE ass.

That's not political correctness!!
This entire conversation is driven by people with no understanding of how to address issues of racism, using that as an argument to stop addressing issues of racism.
That is why the ROTHERHAM Casey Report talked about "misplaced political correctness".

Because no civil rights movement in human history has EVER marched with the objective of helping sex offenders escape justice.
