Comment on Kate and Gerry McCann: case rightly in meltdown by ray

If you watch “The Truth In The Lie” available on line it may change your mind.The restaurant was not like “dining in your garden”.Its over 50 Mts as the crow flys .Also they refused to answer basic questions which would have helped to solve the case and clear them as suspects.There is an awful lot being posted on net about the case,so sooner or later every one will know the truth and they will be put away where they cant harm any other children.I hope that their lives are haunted by the memory of that poor innocent child.The whole group were giving their children sedatives.On other nights they drugged their kids any dined 2Km away from the apartments.They refused to answer, when questioned,simple things which would have assisted the police in discovering what realy happened on that night.They tried to pin the crime on an innocent person(murat) and started a media circus the like of which has never been seen before.then ther is the evidence of the dogs.Gripping stuff to watch!. Soon justice will be served to the terrible Mccanns.

As for Madeleine may good rest her soul.

Comment on School Report Levels: 1a, 1b, 1c, 2a, 2b, 2c, 3a, 3b, 3c, 4a, 4b, 4c by Phil

Unfortunately, I disagree with Leanne. I would answer your question with an unequivocal “yes”.

Of course there are many ways of measuring performance, but this is the only one that officially counts and therefore it’s this measure that a child is judged by.

The national standards are not particularly high (otherwise half the schools would be in “special measures” and the system would collapse), so for a year 6 child to be achieving what some year 2s and most year 3s achieve, is cause for concern on the part of the parent and should be of concern to the school.

Pretending that nobody ever fails and that there’s never anything to worry about is one strategy in common use. However, it’s both illogical and incorrect. More importantly, it’s counter-productive as it does not lead towards taking any corrective action.

Not at all. Most likely your child will get a higher grade in the actual SATs and it’s only one way of measuring anyway.

OMG!! The exact same thing happened with my little girl last night too!
I rushed her to the ER, she was acting completely normal too but her little toe
was starting to turn blue. I was so scared, but luckily the doc had seen this
before and took care of it. I’m SO glad that I always kiss her toes when I see her
feet!!
