The primary schoolboy “Kuchao” is hated person in his class.Even if everyone fly balloons, only he doesn’t part with his it. After school, He springs out of the school in at full speed with a balloon.When he immediately begins to chew a bubble gum which he hid, he enter the imagination world.

Remember this guy?
Padraig O’Shea, the school owner who refused admission to a pregnant girl in Borrisoleigh, Co. Tipperary because he had to “uphold morals” in the classroom?

Kid-friendly cuteness by David Meigh.
Eskimos Joe and Moe battle it out during a science experiment in Igloo school but things get out of hand.

His Squeeness shares his experiences as the nation’s tea cosy to Conor O’Shea (left) and Cillian O’Ceallaigh at Colaiste Eoin in Booterstown, Co Dublin, within the past two hours. It’s international Cultural week at the school. They gave the Polish table a surf board (KIDDING).

That’s how Antoin chortles.

Bewildered. Confused. And that’s just the teachers!
Gardiner Street Convent, in Dublin, this morning.
Their first day at skool.
They’re too young to realise we’ve destroyed their future.
And whatever you do don’t let them read Vincent Browne today.
