I used to work for a primary school and we had a 1:1 scheme. Pros Students could use them in class and the single IT suite was turned into flexible classroom which then would test equipment to eventually go into other classrooms Cons Parents didn't pay for the devices, lots cancelled the direct debit payment. Parents would not pay for damages Multiple cases of older siblings/parents using the laptops for 18 plus content After about two years of issues, the school refunded the parents that had paid any payments and the laptops were kept at school in charging trolleys. This worked much better and had less damages.

I work in an (non school) office and its fully air conditioned. I stupidly decided to do a project day from home...... 5 ice creams already today and I'm still far too hot!

My mum was recently clearing out her study and found these and a stack of unopened cassette tapes.

As a knuckle dragger myself I could say something about photography being for nerds/geeks but I wont as I enjoy it too. After school clubs are run by numbers and teachers time as others have said. If he's enjoying it so much then get him and his fellow club members to meet up after school taking photos in your local area. Photography is something that can be done by one or more. He'd probably learn 5x more doing photography for himself by trial and error. He will also have more free reign on what he wants to do.

Where your office is Blocked sites that will never be unblocked - major ones like youtube (if it is). Had this at a primary school I worked at, I could easily point people back to the handbook. Simple tips

""No student should have to rifle through drawers looking for a crumpled certificate when they're preparing for a job interview," Skills Minister Baroness Jacqui Smith said." I dont think I have ever given my certificates to a job interview, not even when I was looking for my first job.

Happy New Year!

At home I have Windows 10 on a 2015 Dell XPS. Still runs like a dream! I'll be sad when Windows 10 goes EOL. At work, the company is all MacOS

This again. I was told to work from home and the wind never arrived here as it has done everywhere else!

Head....

It'll keep you awake...... Gone are the days I used Pro Plus after getting in from an all nighter and going to work a few hours later My 2015 Dell XPS has lasted 10 years and if I can get to the bottom of its current issues then it should last a few more. I cant upgrade to Windows 11 its not liked the CPU and support for Windows 10 ends later this year.... Given the naming titles, I think someone at Dell is an Apple fan.....

Balls....

100......

I used Google translate on the 'no mobile phone' picture and it picked up the language as Hebrew.

Shorts and tshirt weather in SE Kent with a few gusts of wind....
