Great age group you get the excuses to be a big kid. it's all a big game and they just want to learn. Sadly as they move though the sausage machine the love of learning is all but snuffed out.
Back to school?

Here in HK, the teachers are back and the kids are coming back, in stages, 23rd and 29th September.
Still a bit messy as far as the youngsters who travel cross border from Shenzhen to school here though. Still, will be awesome to see them again.

Yup, I agree sadly. We have that issue even here in Asia. Education systems are designed for the needs of adults in mind, not the needs of kids and doesn't take into account that kids develop at different rates and learn differently. As Einstein, who was labelled a failure at school, once said 'If you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it'll go through life thinking it's a failure.'

Good luck Teachers!
Wife started back yesterday, today is the first with kids. The year group 'bubbles' are each over 200 kids, she will flit between all of the bubbles as she teaches secondary. I give it a month at most before the school will have entire bubbles at home. From what I saw cycling my son to school this morning, social distancing is not a thing, they were licking each other before they even got into school. Good luck to all involved, I guess at least the schools can say they tried when it all goes wrong.

I guess you were happy with the length of the school holidays back in the 1870s when you were a pupil. They haven’t changedOnly a few weeks and they'll be off AGAIN for the September holidays!

Accy used to love school. Those woolen shorts felt so sensual on the thighs...
