This afternoon.
Meanwhile…
Minister for Education Joe McHugh has concluded discussions with parents, teachers, school managers and students over plans to hold the Leaving Cert at the end of July.
A “plan B” option of awarding grades to students, in the event that the exams being cancelled was one of the items on the agenda.
The practicalities of running the exams in the context of social distancing and public health advice were also discussed….
Leaving Cert: No decision on exams following meeting (irish Times)
Students will be in favour of predicted grades until they see a) their own grades b) the grades of the neighbours
it’s going to be an almighty pooshow if predicted grades are announced
i’ve a good mind to ‘predict’ myself a PhD.
… in Paintin’ h’an Decoratin’?
:P
Meanwhile….Turkey’s vote to cancel Christmas!!
Imagine the stress dreams about the leaving this year’s Leaving Certs will have. Bless them. Oh no I forgot to study for this exam, but I couldn’t I had COVID-19!”
