You picked up on "teacher" and ran down a rabbit hole of irrelevant deflection instead of addressing the actual point. But, hey, Brexit.  | | The following 2 users would like to thank for this useful post: | | | This user groans at for this post: | |

There's been a lot of positive Brexit news over the past week or so. Thousands of EU firms plan to open UK offices after Brexit, job vacancies up 17% in London, the number of new UK university enrollments from EU countries up 2% and the IMF has now predicted the UK's economic growth will outstrip the Eurozone including France, Germany and Italy. Project Fear, eh!? Only 10 days to go!! 🤗

I don't know, I assume he was.... How else can I explain this peculiar focus on a particular profession and some of its representatives?

Aha! | | | | | No, just the attitude of many who are bossy & think they know better. The lady who shall not be named, that lives close to you & is best friends with the chief of police comes to mind.

Tom | | | | | Maybe because RHD vs LHD is not the problem?
ATM no-one knows where UK standards will move. Could be emissions standards, efficiency, requirements for safety or warning systems.....

Most would see that as a rounding difference. Anyhow, that projection is based on "diminished fears of a no-deal Brexit,". If there's no deal at 31.12.2020 then their bets for 2021 are off.
Would like to see a source for your London vacancies. ONS only publish all-UK figures and these are down 7% since start 2019.
BTW Daily Mail and Express are not considered reliable sources in the unlikely event you want to share one

Of course. Because that's everything you need to be effective in a classroom. You do say the most ridiculous things. |

Are you also suggesting that they shouldn't have any kind of authority in the classroom, either?
How weird.

How weird. | | | | | There are 3 important stages A) what you know, B) what you don't know & C) what you know you don't know.
C is unfortunately often overlooked by those who 'know better'

But why voluntarily challenge them in their arrogant ignorance? Let them think the are the best. You are not obligated to invest yourself.
