My biggest worry is my teenage dd .. she’s lost all her motivation and says she feels lost and directionless. She knows her A-levels are important but can’t get her act together to revise properly, not helped by having the exam goalposts constantly shifting. She’s been an ultra-conscientious, model pupil all the way through school do for her to feel like this is really concerning - and I can only imagine how teenagers who haven’t been as engaged in the past are coping. The legacy of this is going to haunt us for years
My DD dropped out of A levels, it might have happened anyway, but despite being predicted high grades, she learns best interacting with others, not being emailed work (possible ADD for which we've had no help). In some ways I'm glad she's not having to go through the A level thing, I think it's awful, though as her job has gone too she's really really bored.
Well done Loki! Seems to be a few on here at uni, I'm thinking of going back part time too for something positive to focus on.
I will then look forward to reading all the complaints from avid lockdown supporters about their massive tax hikes and interest rate rises, because many of them seem to be unconcerned about how all this is being paid for, and would like furlough to last for a very long time.
Those of us excluded from Govt support are particularly put out at tax rises to pay for everyone else....
