Lol yes I heard mad fireworks start about 10pm, wondered at first if it was another spate of drug dealing teenagers shooting each other but apparently we won the football? Feel sorry for my daughter who lives the next street over from Anfield stadium trying to settle the baby! But good news for the footie fans
Not everyone sees the point of 22 little men kicking a little ball around a little field attempting to get it in between 3 planks of wood you know! Is there a point?#shutyafaceyou!
Maybe I'm missing something? No maybe I'm not!
That sounds even more pointless! Enlighten me as to the point of it all.It's not 22 men, it's only 20 kicking it around a little field, 2 of them stand in front of 3 planks of wood trying to stop the other 20 from kicking the ball behind them.
I'm all for football!Don't ask me! I'm a scouser, I was brought up supporting the sport.
There's lots to talk about!
Nothing is off topic in this thread.
EXACTLY! Therefore football is completely pointless!Don't ask me! I'm a scouser, I was brought up supporting the sport.
Just been playing football myself, with my 9 year old nephew who is a huge Liverpool fan! According to 9 year olds the version of the game involving 1 child and 2 middle aged relatives who hate sport has the following rules: 1) kick ball as hard as you can at the old people then laugh if you hit them, 2) show off fancy ball skills that end by booting the ball 30ft into the nettles then make old people fetch it, 3) mock old people for not being as good as Mo Salah, 4) sulk if old people score a goal because you slipped and fell on your ass on the wet grass that you insisted wasnt wet but really wasIt's not 22 men, it's only 20 kicking it around a little field, 2 of them stand in front of 3 planks of wood trying to stop the other 20 from kicking the ball behind them.
Ooo getting defensive now are we? Means you don't have an answer! I win!#shutyafacetoo!
Me too, I was always the kid who got concussion (rounders) or broken fingers (netball) during sports involving projectiles, I used to duck and run and deliberately not get near the ball at all! I really hate anyone kicking or hitting any kind of ball towards me, but I feel obligated to be pelted with balls for an hour after being "homeschool" for the morning and making a dyslexic kid do reading and writing for me before he goes to his dyslexia tutoring
I’m managing because that’s how it has to be. It’s the kids I worry more about.I really don't know how parents are managing homeschool every day, I'm just doing it on a friday for 1 kid and today was my second go!
I settled on starting the day with a cooked breakfast for bribery purposes, then an intensive 1 hour proper lesson with reading and writing, then a half hour break for playing with lego, then a hands-on educational activity for an hour and a half, then a pizza lunch reward (with healthy salad) watching an educational dvd, then an hour in the park doing sport, then sending the little chap off for an hour's private dyslexia tutoring
It’s an ongoing chat to chat about anything that you want to.
That sounds impressiveI really don't know how parents are managing homeschool every day, I'm just doing it on a friday for 1 kid and today was my second go!

who you calling crazy?!
Who said that?
What voices! I’m hearing chirping...
It must be very tough, my nephews are both still in school mostly as their Mum is a keyworker but apparently school arent teaching very much, as they say it would disadvantage those who are at home- and its all mixed age classes with supply teachers and no proper curriculum! So their Mum is having to get home from work then try and still do the homeschooling in the evenings and at weekends. The younger boy who is very good at reading is doing fine but his dyslexic big brother is struggling a bit academically and has a horrible bully in his class so he's coming to us so every friday he's coming to us for most of the day then going to a tutor for an hour so he can get the educational support he needs and get a break from the mean boy...
The bully needs to be dealt with. Are thy not able to offer. Him one-2-one support at the school even just an hour a day? Anyway probably not as the are spread thin as it is. Mum should try and do it at the weekend when she’s also more relaxed. I feel all will be disadvantaged whether at home or school. Difficult times.
Hopefully we can help her cover the gaps. She’s the youngest in the class as well which has always been a worry for me.
Its tricky as schools now only contain key workers kids and "vulnerable" children who either come from children's homes or who social workers think would be "at risk" if left at home. The bully must be one of the "vulnerable" kids from an "at risk" family with a history of violence or substance abuse or similar so he has to go to school... and if that's his home life I guess its not his fault he thinks bullying is a normal thing to do... but in a class of 10 kids who cant get away from each other at breaktimes and lunchtimes a bully is a much bigger deal than usualThe bully needs to be dealt with. Are thy not able to offer. Him one-2-one support at the school even just an hour a day? Anyway probably not as the are spread thin as it is.

PS I think my children are fairing okay in terms of work. The older two in particular. The youngest was due to do sats but
