    Most people in Stratford aren't Jewish though, even though it's a Jewish school! did some googling, and theres only around 1500 Jews in Ireland, and most of them are too old to have kids. Apparently Irish people don't like Jews so they all move! dunno how true that is but thats what this site said!
    With all the swastikas drawn everywhere in this country it wouldn't surprise me.

    Right what does the SEC want? hmmm 55,990 students giving out about moving the day to Sunday or 10 jewish students giving out about that it is on their day of prayer. I know we have to respect their day of prayer but its not realistic

    I think this incident is good for all ye leaving certers. It shows you that life is unpredictable and the need for you to learn to adapt, there are plenty more challanges ahead, this is a wake up call. Take it with a pinch of salt

    I'm sorry but the momentary incompetence of someone in a very important position is not to be taken as a learning experience.

    We've been kept in the dark enough over ~10 people in Louth seeing the paper, and now 10 people are going to be trusted not to see it because they're staying at a Rabbis house? Hah. Right, that's dealing with it alright. 10 people do NOT get majority over 55,000 others who are fed up enough.

    You won't unless your jewish :confused:

    My Jewish? Re-phrase if you meant something different but all I can get from this is that you're implying we haven't had to wait an extra day for our English exam. Which is, technically true. We're having to wait two.

    Yes well youll find in life that when people let you down you can dwell on it and be angry but this wont solve the problem and get you out of the situation. Im basically saying, focus on the new setup. I know your planning for the last two years has gone out the windows basically but lots of thing if f
    life like this will happen.

    I'm sorry, but no. A learning experience is not taking an umbrella when you don't see clouds and it rains. A learning experience is parking in a dodgy spot in the hopes you don't get trapped in by other chancers and you do. A learning experience is the leaving cert course which lasts two years. What a learning experience is not is a guy screwing up his job and affecting 50,000 young adults who are working towards their goals for University. This isn't just leaving the umbrella in the car or locking your keys in the car, dude.

    You really think that they won't get any sort of information regarding the exam? Because they're in some other guy's house rather than their own?

    Yeah 38 year olds of 2029 are going to rue the day the Jewish community got their way because it made them fail their exams, that's totally the point we're making.

    although im just as angry about it as anyone else i dont think the guy did it on purpose and anway he is definitely paying for it now. mistakes do happen.

    Not necessarily, Arts in Galway for example doesn't require maths

    He looked at the exam sticker saying ENGLISH PAPER II right? The two random students saw it and signed that it is the right paper... I think there might be more to this... Taking to my supervisor today she said that is doesn't know how this could happen... Its a state exam for christ sake, people should be ALERT!

    I'm not bitter not in the slightest.
    All this dwelling on the past pisses me off actually! I have 2 exams tomorrow so I just got on with it and studyied for them.
    All I'm saying is that its not exactly a valuable lesson in life to see someone make a balls of something. That can be seen everyday, eveywhere anyway.
