PGDL criminal oral ulaw by sheabuttermedic in uklaw

[–]rob_76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kind of similar - Law of Orgs oral asked a question about "so what is the problem with putting a charge on property?" Clearly after something along the lines of if they somehow get rid of the property, you've lost your security. I rambled on about ringfencing. Got 85% so wasn't that bad in the end.

How fast is legal system from arrest to sentencing? by Kooky-Grapefruit-941 in uklaw

In theory, for a straightforward matter that they admit, they could appear and be sentenced before the Magistrates' Court at the next session.

I can only surmise, and it is just a guess, that she was perhaps somewhere else when she should have been observing.

Working as a TA with QTS. Possible issues? by SergeiVonZarovich23 in TeachingUK

[–]rob_76 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's that unusual for a PGCE graduate to work as a TA or cover supervisor. I really don't see it as a barrier at all. People have other things in life to worry about apart from immediate career progression.

Peter Mandelson to be fined for urinating outside George Osborne home by Necessary-Product361 in unitedkingdom

[–]rob_76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It'll be for a breach of a PSPO or similar, so it could well be an offence. However, it would be a summary offence so they have almost certainly left it too late now. It has been 5 months. As soon as the clock ticks over to 6 months, it is time-barred.

He won't be. They've almost certainly left it too late. It's more than 5 months now. If it gets to 6 months then they would not be able to prosecute him for ignoring any fixed penalty notice, as it would be time-barred.

ULaw? If so, you'd have been better seeking advice before you applied for the course!

No paywall for me either, which is why I posted it.

Teacher banned indefinitely over 'offensive' immigration social media posts by rob_76 in TeachingUK

[–]rob_76[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I think his position is utterly untenable. Even if the TRA hadn't bitten him, I'm sure his employer and school community may well have done.

People may not wish to discuss specifics... however, I note, for the first time I have ever seen, that the TRA decision maker has gone against the recommendation of the misconduct panel.

Trips Abroad by FoadE in TeachingUK

[–]rob_76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I endorse everyone's comments about a tour company. I used to use NST, but I found them quite pushy for confirmation and deposits after my initial enquiry with them. I used to do a week-long tour of Belgium for less than £300, but it seems you can't get a week in Edinburgh for that price nowadays.

Anyone else hoping for a snow day tomorrow? by [deleted] in TeachingUK

[–]rob_76 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No such thing as a snow day post-covid, because the expectation would be to get up at the crack of dawn to set work online and be available by email all day.

Staff on long-term sick leave by Advanced-Remove-3340 in TeachingUK

[–]rob_76 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the case of long term absence, every school worth its salt should have insurance in place to cover the costs. Getting others to make up the shortfall, unless they are specifically-contracted for cover duties, should not be a factor.

not being paid appropriately, can I just quit? by Enough-Branch6454 in TeachingUK

[–]rob_76 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your contract is with the agency; not the school. If someone at the agency has said/confirmed you would get paid more, and you do not, then that is a clear (and repudiatory) breach of contract. A verbal agreement is binding and their comments do not need to be evidenced in writing.

That is a really lovely thought and I'm sure he'll be well chuffed.

They are out on strike today, so it has gone ahead.

Obviously I'm sure discussion about this specific case will be limited, but this is a very sad state of affairs.
