The other important way of looking at this is that output was surprisingly robust in the first three months of the year - since much of the so-called inflation was (eg) the phenomenon of the government paying teachers for not very much teaching, when lockdown closed schools

Astounding he even thought it, let alone tweeted it in his supposed position of insight. Deleting it, apologising and moving on with an official telling off would cut it. His mealy mouthed backtracking just this minute is pathetic.

Completely agree with you. My son's teacher was working ridiculous hours during the most recent lockdown. Running live zoom sessions during the school day for those struggling, marking all the submitted work and setting the following days work (often at 10pm).

As well as being utterly clueless as to the contribution teachers made over that period, and their general proactiveness and agility they demonstrated in the face of minimal governmental guidance and 11th hour decision making, I don't get the logic behind the point he's trying to make anyway?

I dislike Peston with a passion. Most teachers were in schools, zoom learning their students, also with front line workers kids in school. Our teaching staff (my colleagues) were amazing. He must be one of those knuckle dragging Daily Mail contributors that constantly slags teaching staff. Peston, do one.

Thats a deeply ignorant thing for him to say. I can only imagine he has no kids of school age or teachers in the family.

I realise he will know more than me about economics, but the inflation point doesn't seem to nmake any sense on its own terms either.

Quite - he can't even do his job of making economics understandable for the general public - his explanation is rubbish.

Then he spouts offensive and completely incorrect views on teachers' activities.

His ego has outgrown his ability.

He's simply not very good.

He got a bit of inside info once and has been living off it for a decade.

That tweet is pretty offensive to many.

Totally disgraceful given the pressure that the teaching profession was under and the risks that teachers have been obliged to take.

I imagine the extra stresses and strains of the online learning, coupled with the fact that kids of key workers were under even more pressure. I imagine also that the lack of symptoms in pupils put the job as one of the higher risks too. Children have all been affected by this pandemic and teachers have been an important part of dealing with this.
Dreadful from Peston and huge respect to all teachers.

What a plank. His attempts at backtracking are pretty funny aren't they. I suspect that teachers arent too impressed he's saying their productivity has been impaired too. It may not even be true. Some employers have been reporting increasing productivity with home/remote working and increased use of technology for virtual working.

We've had staff and students testing positive this week.

I caught it and had it really bad. I'm still feeling the effects. I'd love to sit him down and discuss my experiences and see him have the nerve to explain his ideas around our productivity.
