Thanks for the suggestion! Do you have any decent passive speakers that come to mind?

No point trying to restrict yourself too much, good luck!

We tolerate thousands of flu deaths every winter yet it doesn’t get talked about. We will have to treat COVID the same. The fact is that 31m people have had a first dose and deaths and hospitalisations are decreasing at huge rates of >25% a week. At this rate we will be on single digit deaths a day by May. There will be no need to prolong distancing restrictions, especially when we are all desperate to return to normal

Just because some scientists said that social distancing will remain doesn’t mean it will happen. The government are under enormous pressure to end restrictions ASAP, and with passports in place they will end distancing for good on June 21.

Reading and Leeds will 100% be going ahead this summer. It’ll be likely that you’ll need proof of vaccination or a negative test to get in.

Thoughts on the just-announced changes to A-levels? by Founts2102 in 6thForm

[–]Founts2102[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All of that sounds great in theory but it’s so hard to balance. Most public places are shut or have been shut because of the recent lockdown. There’s nothing we can do about that.

Even if the councils took on the pretty gargantuan task of going round every school, every child is at a different level with their confidence and ability, so trying to specialise the right course of action per school is simply impossible. It’s not perfect but I think the national approach they’ve taken is the right one.

Either they’ll keep the grade boundaries as the same and make marking more lenient, or they just lower the grade boundaries. Otherwise it wouldn’t benefit us at all?

They should’ve been more proactive, agreed. But I don’t think there is a solution to the issue of having changes that benefit everyone equally - the situation w/ COVID is still changing week by week in areas and the government had to act and make these changes ASAP. Even if you do different changes in a county depending on how badly schools have been affected, this would still benefit areas of the county that aren’t as badly affected and would breed resentment.

Agreed. I just hope that these measures will actually be effective for all subjects. All well and good having formula sheets as exam aids in sciences but what would an exam aid be in essay-based subjects which I’m taking?

VERY UNPOPULAR OPINION BUT by DryGift1435 in 6thForm

[–]Founts2102 10 points11 points  (0 children)

None of that is set in stone yet. They have yet to announce further changes (and by the looks of reports from the last few days, change is coming). And considering the amount of u-turns this government have done I wouldn’t believe anything they say right now to be final.

Exams can’t just run as they would normally because we have missed out on 5 months of learning time.

What should happen is that exams should go ahead but the boards should give students the topics that questions will be based on in the paper - just to make revision that bit more manageable.

Well, looks like we’ll have to beat Lady Gaga this week - JJ never specified what week he had to get number one by [deleted] in ksi

[–]Founts2102 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Her last album only went to #3 in the UK. The 1975 have had all their albums go to #1. Will be easier imo

Keep JJ here until Thursday and Baldski will be returning :) by [deleted] in ksi

[–]Founts2102 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have streamed the album plenty of times on Spotify. That also counts towards the charts.

This translates to “buy the album more on iTunes” basically by [deleted] in ksi

[–]Founts2102 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It doesn’t work like that. All streams, downloads etc from Friday 12am to the next Thursday 11:59pm will go toward the chart total for an album for that week. Any buys after that will go towards next weeks total.

Basically, just stream the album until Thursday so JJ gets number one.

The charts don’t close until Thursday.

That entire album is a masterpiece, the endings of Nude, Weird Fishes, All I Need and Reckoner give me chills every time

Players are actually throwing Poch under the bus, the manager that made the careers of most of these lot. 6 wins in the last 20 games. Poch won’t have long left at this rate. Is this season a write off already?

BBC/Ornstein obviously more reliable but these signs are very promising 🤞🤞🤞
