So apparently all the state schools could have had interactive lessons

[chopc]

As per GW today all were given access to a Microsoft Teams/ Google classrooms and could have had interactive teaching like the private schools. Not sure if he mentioned anything about the safeguarding concerns of zoom which miraculously have been overcome recently ...........just sayin

Did some teachers say they have been instructed by their SLT not to give interactive lessons or mark homework etc?

Sorry I know you must be bored of these threads but couldn't help myself

Yet to meet a parent in our small city who considers the primary provision adequate. Absolutely woeful. Dd2 secondary been very good.

@CallmeAngelina which is why I also said attitude and age and I'm applying this to the headteacher at the school my DS goes too.

Yes, and there is no need to apply the "age" part of your observation. Attitude, perhaps, although there are many, many contributing factors as to why a school may be unable to provide what others do. The general public will not necessarily be aware of those reasons.
The fact that your local headteacher may be of a certain age does not prove your (invented) rule.

Age is irrelevant.

I've worked for 3 young male head teachers (early 30s)
I now work for a female teacher in her mid 50s who always looks exhausted and hot and bothered, even though she's not really (although she probably is right now)

She is super-dynamic, surrounds herself with the right people to keep totally up to date with research and so on. The CPD I've had from this school - just from colleagues - is better than anything I've had anywhere else.

@CallmeAngelina sure I fully accept your opinion but I didn't say it was a rule it's an observation, and they said themselves it was a case of new fangled technology for them.

It's a very individual thing but my own experiences across school its and obvious factor amount many other things.

I haven't met a parent with children in either primary or secondary who thinks the govt's handling of education during lock down is anything other than shambolic, lazy and buck-passing MrsTSwift.
