Well done to them all , tough couple of years for them.
6 months after sitting their exams…
Hard to get overpayed teachers to correct the exam during their 3 months summer holidays.
@Patrick Murphy: would you go into your workplace on your holidays?
@Patrick Murphy: if it’s such a well paying job maybe you can explain why we have a chronic teacher shortage here
@Patrick Murphy: would you work during your holidays?
@Pol Mlp: big difference in getting 2 weeks holidays and teachers getting 3 months during the summer
@Sean Treacy: I’m sure they can extra money for marking the exams, but when your already getting a good salary, why bother.
@Patrick Murphy: for sure there’s a big difference in holidays….if your so unhappy about it tho there’s nothing stopping you from becoming a teacher to avail of those nice perks of the job
@Patrick Murphy: There is a huge shortage of teachers in certain subjects, so off you go! You too can get 3 months off over summer and be overpaid to boot!
It’s a shame these results are only coming out now. I have a child due results today who worked hard but has lost all interest. Not helped by recent articles that talk about how ‘dumbed down’ the papers were….which I can tell you they are. These kids will not be prepared for the old Leaving Cert cycle and many will struggle.
Well Done all.
Just wondering why German or Spanish hasn’t overtaken French yet as the most popular foreign language.
Is French used that much in the world of business.
have your say
