I wouldn't give up that easily. How about a series of one or two day courses?

People do not have an incentive to finish or continue unless they either pay up front, no refund, or they get some meaningful certificate at the end. The other reason adult education candidates are unreliable is childcare.

When I started at a secondary, many years ago, it was on condition I did one class a week. I had already been asked a few years before to run some non-IT courses for the LA Adult Ed. who sent me on a City & Guilds Adult Ed. course. The LA sorted out the advertising, charges etc. and I was paid the going rate for teaching Adult Ed. both before working in the school and at the school.

I forgot Titanium was for rooted devices. Try Go Contacts it saves to SD.

I believe there is a problem with HTCSynch. Like arwen, I use Google. Failing that, I'm sure there's an app for it. Try Titanium Backup.

I'm glad we agree.

You've grasped the big issue then. Of course it's the Head's fault. My point being, should people like this be entrusted with this sort of money. I'm not sure where the supplier comes into it, he/she is doing what they are paid for.

BBC News - Mistakes 'mean some academies overpaid or underpaid'

Really!!, giving lots of money to someone, to pass on to someone else who knocks on their door, sells them something which they later discover forces them to buy expensive equipment to be able to use it? What's your address, I have some nice shiny stuff for sale. Next thing, they'll be out buying a Lamborghini as a school bus.

Good question. Should a Headteacher be given free reign to spend a pot of money? I have just heard of one, a new academy, who has gone out and bought a finance package. This program needs exclusive use of a dual core server to run it. Oh, it's a primary.

They can and have and also Academies can go to BSF.

So, it's inadvisable for me to refuse to cross the picket lines. Too many NOTs in the original.

Just got this from my rep. "...Union want to show solidarity for these Unions and their members in their strike, but due to the law, it is not advisable for you to not cross these picket lines, if you do you may face a disciplinary,...." I haven't a clue what I'm supposed to do. Anyone translate???

It's under Support|Training Data Sets. If it's available to you. Otherwise, as has been said, make a copy of your school's database and make a few changes to logins (just in case)

It worked though, the awful font has gone.

It's worse when people use it with big font

Yes Comic Sans should be banned

It's an interesting take on how schools feel when moving to academy status. I am aware of a number of school who have done this, none felt under 'duress'. All were fully aware of what MIS they wanted well before changing. Some have changed, but most stayed with their current MIS. The ones that changed did so years ago. Recently these schools have stayed with their existing MIS, happily. None have expressed regret. These schools have been happy with the performance of the software and the support they get. In my opinion and experience a 12 months grace period is totally unnecessary.
