Uniform

heartwork93

Do school staff have the right to force us to wear our uniform during the exams considering we're not students anymore? I was told to put my uniform back on today just cos i had my shirt unbuttoned. I will not have my attempts at my exams impeded as a result of being suffocated in a heavy uniform under this summer sun. Can anyone help?

I don't think any teachers are allowed into your exam centre actually. That was the case when I was the attendant outside. Noone was allowed in except me (to bring tea), the students and the examiners. (actually I think the teacher incharge of orgainising it might have gone in too)

yeah, its the same in our school... i suppose they cant technically kick you our of the exam, but all ours said was were using their school and must stick by the school rules as were still in it.. yada yada

(saying that, people are gradually not wearing it.. lol as in everyday there's another person that wears runners in, and doesnt wear the jumper.. then the next day someone wears tracksuit bottoms instead etc)

Well she came in just before the exam started. Im tryin to do my goddamn exams, im under enough stress as it it for ***** to be throwin the book at me

Hmm.. I think the gov. pays to keep the exam centres open but I could be wrong

It's not that hot anyway

Likewise. Everyone's strangely in a great mood. The sun only affects the junior cert losers too!

We have to wear our uniforms as well. Im so glad im not in the glare of the sun.

We were told on the last day of school that if we didnt wear our full uniforms we would be sitting our exam in a different school. To keep the atmosphere of study or something, I dont know. Doesnt bother me.

But I dont think she had any right telling you to button your shirt, you need to be confortable.

heartwork93

Yea, its weird that the leavin cert has been mad casual so far.

Thankyou! some teachers just cant seem to get off their high horse durin the summer. assholes

We're threatened with this every year but they really can't enforce it. If they say they'll stop you sitting it (doubtful), call their bluff, and get about 30 or 40 of you to come in in normal clothes.
2 days into the exams - they won't follow through.
In fairness, after graduation you're not their students - you do not have to follow every rule, especially ones which could affect the exams ...

Ya...its being total casual......thought it would be more strict???!!!!!

oasisfan

uniform?? we dont have to wear yours but your using their premises as an exam centre so they are entitled to make and inforce d rules!

Also has any one been suprised how relaxed the examiners are like our exams have been starting like 10minutes early.

Ah well nearly done......well kinda

We have to wear ours for English, Maths and Gaeilge. I don't mind- I feel more in 'test mode' when I'm wearing it. I'll probably wear it the whole time, picking out clothes to wear every day would stress me out!

eh I was beside a radiator. IT WAS TURNED ON. My school makes no sense. They don't turn on the rads til mid November, and leave them on thru June??

Of course I just demanded it be turned off, I have a great spot beside the wall why would I want to be moved

Yep, uniform for every exam. In a hall, and the sun at the start of an exam is halfway acorss the hall...then it starts moving towards me at the edge..bent. Had to squint at the figures on my calculator, and my water and pens start to boil..faggotry. I don't really mind about the uniform, hasn't been super-unbearably-hot yet.

StephenC_IRL

i havent worn a full unifrom in 2 years and nobodys said anything to me, teachers here get really anal about uniform for others, but years of student council and other crap has got me privilages,

Oh boy, the corrector of your english exam is gonna really love you - NOT!

But then again, you're not alone. I'm a supervisor and happened to see what an Hons English student wrote as part of an essay yesterday. My God, the spelling was chronic!

I wear normal clothes as does everyone else.

Doesnt bother me as much as i thought it would, I dont even bother wearing a jumper anymore, just shirt and trousers. Another good thing is the room im in is on the side of the school where the sun doesnt shine, so im nice and cool during my exams

alancork

My school seems like the only school in the country where we dont have 2 wear out uniform 4 the exams is it?! its waaaay better, we can wear shorts and stuff, its roasting in there!
