@Haud_Yer_Weesht @BBCScotlandNews The video was undertaken to illustrate how easy it was. And done so because it did in fact happen to a primary school child!

As Stress Awareness day approaches, this chimes with me - I spent years dreading what new hell of disorganised fuckery I'd be subjected to, trying to style out decision which did not benefit students or staff. Be accountable for your managers and their staffs dread!

*Some context*
Falkirk Council wants to cut teaching time in high schools by nearly 2 hours a week, which works out to about 76 hours a year.

That's about half the total time it's meant to take to teach a Higher course across the whole year.

Here it's is - Roadshows in every big school in region. The proposed plan for consultation to move to 4.5 days @DGCEducation with out prejudice - this will affect every parent in some way. Whether child care costs, after school club costs or transport at 3pm costs! #haveyoursay
