Spare the rod....
According to the BBC:
Perhaps the staff had more to do with it, than the staffs they needed to use.Bun-sgoil Ghaidhlig Inbhir Nis in Inverness was awarded "very good" and "excellent" grades.
Head teacher Janet MacLeod said the report recognised the staffs' work.

Re schools, is there any chance of people actually thinking before the holidays are decided? At the moment we have the public holidays Fri10/Mon13 April where the kids return from holiday on the 13th, and then Fri9/Sat12 October where the kids finish for hols on the 9th. That means 2 days where the adults are off but the kids aren't. Hard enough having time off with the lovely sprogs but a simple reallocation of dates would help a large number of families.

I see you previously flagged up the lack of jobs on the islands. How do you explain the 35 in this weeks paper?
Its that Angus Nicholson pointing out others gramatical errors again. If that isnt the pot calling the kettle black...

Aren't you lucky that you get the public holidays off and paid. Try being self employed with sprogs. You don't get paid if you take time off and you have kids that need looking after, so this costs you money.
Stop whinging and think yourself lucky.
35? back to school for you my boy. I can only see half that.

People choose to be self employed. My emploer pays me for annual leave and P/Hs so my effective rate per day is higher than my paid rate as I not there for all year. When caluclating your daily rate you need to take that into account and also days off ill ?2 weeks. You then come out with a daily rate for your costs. If you can't vover bthose costs then either increase your prices or return to the fold.
As I recall most self employed people (paid via a company) get paid the minimum rate and take the rest out as a dividend this reduces their tax and NI burden (somethiong employed people cannot do). Of course being self employed you can charge your partner to mthe companny too and offset you car/van mobile phone etc. etc. If you have any queries over this, please contact your accountant or Angus for furtehr information.
So you're not so hard done too after all.

What a naive little post. I suggest that you swot up on your business knowledge and while you're at it try a little grammar and spelling.
If you are the typical "employed" civil servant in the Islands then God help us.....
I guess your lack of knowledge, acumen and general english skills means that you are like the rest in the Comhairle - unsackable....
