Same timeworn yet effective strategies

This Does Not Bode Well For The Future...
A school has changed its uniform rules to allow pupils to wear fake eyelashes due to 'mental health considerations'.
For the pupils, or the teachers?
Parents were sent a letter informing them of the decision after attendance was affected by students wearing them.
Headteacher David Collins, of Knole Academy in Sevenoaks, Kent, said students were missing school to have their lashes removed or refusing to attend without them.
The letter said: 'We are increasingly seeing attendance affected by students taking time off to have false eyelashes removed or refusing to attend school through mental health considerations.
'Having students in school is the most important consideration and therefore... we shall allow false eyelashes to be worn as long as they are discreet.'
The lunatics really are running the asylum now.
But one mother, whose daughter, 13, is a pupil at the school, said: 'We're a society being run by children, which I'm not going to stand for. Rules are rules and that's the end of it.'
If only!
She said that in allowing fake eyelashes, the school was encouraging the girls to adopt age-inappropriate looks. The mother added: 'It's quite worrying because are they going to start getting the attention of older men?'
Probably not in Rochdale, where they like them a lot younger.

Even When There’s No Evidence…
The driver was said to have slowed down to let Misbah Sadique, 37, and her friend Kulsum, cross the road. They were close to home in Waltham Forest and felt safe in a part of east London that they knew well. But, as they stepped out, the car in front of them suddenly, inexplicably, accelerated, one of the women later alleged. It is said that Kulsum was thrown to the ground by the force of the impact and that Misbah was dragged under the vehicle. She claims she was lucky to escape with breaks to her right ankle and foot, ribs and right arm, on top of extensive bruising and abrasions. Three weeks later, she remains in hospital, traumatised and facing a long road to recovery.
The story doesn't mention whther this occurred at a crossing. Which is strange. But the police acted promptly.
The driver, who did not leave the scene, gave a statement by the side of the road and the police have categorised what happened as a road traffic incident. No arrests were made.
Just one of those things. But wait!
But Misbah and Kulsum had both been wearing hijabs.
Aha! The game (of victimhood) is afoot!
Misbah, who has given a statement to the police in recent days, is calling, with the support of her family and the charity, The Islamophobia Response Unit, for the incident on 1 February to be further investigated as a potential hate crime.
Well, sorry, but they already did. And found no evidence of that at all.
The Met said officers did open a hate crime investigation in response to concerns raised with them. “However, our investigation – including viewing of CCTV – leads us to believe that the women were not in any way deliberately targeted,” said Ch Supt Simon Crick, who is in charge of policing Waltham Forest.
“This was an unfortunate road traffic collision.”
The police said they had asked specialists to review the case as well but that they had come to the same conclusion.
QED? Well, no, Reader, of course not.
But that Misbah should consider someone capable of running her down purely due to her faith might be in itself be regarded as a damning insight into modern Britain.
Well, it's a damning insight into something, all right. But I really don't think it's modern Britain.

Well, We’ve Thrown Out Everything Else The Victorians Did…
England should ditch its school calendar “stuck in place since Victorian times” and replace it with shorter summer holidays and longer half-term breaks to improve the lives of pupils and teachers, according to a new report.
The report on tackling post-pandemic education inequalities, part of a project funded by the Nuffield Foundation to be published next month, is to recommend an overhaul of the school calendar that could see summer holidays in state schools reduced from six weeks to four, while half-term breaks in autumn and winter could each be extended from one week to two.
The holiday firms will have to scramble to readjust all their pricing if it is taken up!
Lee Elliot Major, professor of social mobility at the University of Exeter and one of the report’s authors, said reforming the academic calendar in England would be an effective and low-cost way of tackling the educational divides that have grown since the pandemic.
“Spreading school holidays more evenly across the year makes complete educational sense: improving the wellbeing of pupils and the working lives of teachers at no extra cost, balancing out childcare costs for parents, and potentially boosting academic results for many children,” Major said.
For those saying we should at least give it a try....we have.
Under Gove, free schools and academies were given more freedom to set their own calendars. But those adopting more radical timetables soon gave up in the face of opposition from parents and an inability to coordinate term dates with other schools.
But is that a reason not to try it on a much grander scale? For this failing government, almost certainly not. Like a drowning man, they are likely to clutch at anything.

Well, We Don't Teach Latin Anymore...
'Upon arrival my partner found Chloe who was surrounded by six teachers, but no police presence or paramedics at that time.
'The left side of Chloe's face was plastered in blood.
'My partner questioned the staff as to why we were never called about the incident and to inform us that our daughter had been stabbed. 'Their response was that they presumed somebody had already called us.
You know what happens when you assume, don't you?
'They also said that they also wanted to establish the truth before notifying the police. Two police officers did eventually arrive.
Wait, what? You're not detectives. A child has been assaulted and is bleeding, this is no time to get your Sherlock Holmes on. Leave it to the professionals,
'This is absolutely appalling. The Wordsley School (Ed: motto: Our school is defined by its culture and ethos – 'the way things happen'.) needs to be held accountable for its major failings
'We are absolutely distraught that this has happened to our daughter. We do not feel that our children are safe to return to school.
'The school do not seem able to provide us with answers as to why they have failed us.'
We can guess one thing now, and one only: all their efforts are being diverted to excuse their actions.
'They said the lad had been escorted off the premises and was currently making his way home. To me that's a dangerous thing to do.'
Well, quite. He's been arrested and released on bail. The cops at least know their jobs.
Ashley Weatherhogg, headteacher at Wordsley School, said: 'An incident took place in school yesterday afternoon, which is being dealt with through the school's behaviour policy.
'The school is now following the normal procedures and carrying out a full investigation.'
Ahhh, 'procedures'. As long as those are followed, even if they run contrary to common sense, everything will be fine.
