DocM
son has his pre evacuation covid tests now booked (york uni). What he doesnt know is what happens next term. He is due to have exams in the first week of term, the details of which were supposed to be released 3 weeks ago. Currently no news on if they are happening and if they are on line or in person

I don’t think anyone knows DocM - we haven’t been told what’s happening next semester yet. I’m guessing there’s a large element of wait and see what the situation looks like closer to the time.

We know that there will be no onsite teaching for the first two weeks, with the idea being that anyone that brought it back with them will no longer be infectious. I don't know whether they are going to ask students to quarantine. Then only 'specialised teaching' will be allowed onsite, which for us means interpreting only. I think that some life sciences and social sciences also have permitted onsite classes. There will be some optional onsite activities for other courses, government guidelines permitting. I don't know about exams, but I think they are all online. We have certainly published our timetable.

All our exams are definitely online.
It looks like all on site teaching (other than health sciences and vet school) will be online only until the end of semester 1 (Feb), then probably back to "usual" hybrid for semester 2. I suspect there will be a drive for mass testing of students before they come back, and probably some encouragement to stagger movement around the country.

Something puzzling me: daughter (15) has quite suddenly gone from having two baths a week (arguably not enough!) to daily bathing, including showers, which used to be anathema to her. I guess I’m concerned that it’s prompted by something at school; I’ve queried and she says it’s just because she feels that her hair is better with daily washing.
I’m hoping that really is the reason but being an over-thinker who was picked on (bullied?) at school I’m a bit hypervigilant. Any thoughts?

DocM
my daughters hair got very greasy at that age and needed more washing so that would ring true (similar true of my sons but they were less bothered)

More like a girl Fleecy! She’s at a (state) girls’ school.
She’s been using dry shampoo for a few months DocM. There’s a bit of dandruff so daily maybe it is just trying out Head & Shoulders to fix it.

Funny timing as I’ve just heard the shower go on. My D15 has also spontaneously increased her bathing habits after almost having to force her to wash. Maybe it’s just an age thing and the realisation they can’t get away with poor hygiene when older. Brushing teeth is still an issue though, for both my teens. I don’t get it 🙄
