Kings Hill
Nice postings coming from Kings Hill. There's a sweet pictorial Mothers' Day and some painted faces for Book Day.

And what's really nice about this is their Head is at home convalescencing at home recovering from an op. For him its a great way of keeping in touch with the school. He can see what's happening.

Don't call me a Nazi
Guardian: Warning to chatroom users after libel award for man labelled a Nazi. "...Tracy Williams, a college lecturer from Oldham, was ordered by a high court judge to pay £10,000 in damages, as well as Mr Keith-Smith's £7,200 costs, and told never to repeat the allegations.
Mr Keith-Smith told the Guardian that he took action after a debate about the Iraq war in 2003 on a Yahoo! message board with about 100 members turned ugly. "She was very pro-Bush.
He has also taken action against a second poster, he said, with whom he claimed to have settled for a sum "in the region of £30,000".
"They started saying I was on a xxx offenders' list and that people shouldn't let me near their children."

He resolved to take legal action after the pair accused his wife of being a prostitute."

Godwin's Law (also Godwin's Rule of Nazi Analogies) is an adage in Internet culture originated by Mike Godwin on Usenet in 1990 that states:
As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1.
There is a tradition in many Usenet newsgroups that once such a comparison is made, the thread in which the comment was posted is over and whoever mentioned the Nazis has automatically lost whatever debate was in progress.

We're in the money
FT.com Budget 2006 - Full text of the speech, "For the typical primary school up from this year's £31,000, £44,000 direct to the headteacher.

For the typical secondary school up from this year's £98,000, from next week, £150,000 and then next year to £190,000, twice what it is now.

And for the largest secondary school with the greatest needs, from £260,000 to next week £365,000 pounds, rising to £500,000 next April."

I don't get what he means by, 'from next week.' I guess it's pro rata.


Also, "the Chancellor also allocated £10m over the next two years so that teenagers from poor homes benefiting from a home computer scheme he announced last year would also have interent access."

Aggregator's off
Mutter, mutter. I've switched off the aggregator on this machine. I'll put it back on in a week or so, I guess. Just taking up too much processor right now. Not sure how many people actually use it day-today anyway. I know I'm missing it. And there's the aggregator for UK primaries, that's off. That's such a good idea... So, I'll get it back ASAP.
