    Yes there is. A weak student will "learn off information" slower than a strong student.

    Being a good student != learning off stuff to rewrite when the exam comes around is what I'm saying.

    It depends on the subject really. It certainly doesn't make you intelligent but you could argue that in the context, it makes you a better student.

    You see that's the problem these days. Kids are spending to much time studying. They should be out on the streets playing football, kicking a ball around. Nowadays kids are too busy playing computer games or some other nonsense like studying. That is why this country does not have top-class footballers like we did back when Eamon and myself used to play.

    But educating teenagers and children helps to produce doctors,nurses,dietitians ,engineers,journalists,producers,economists etc,these jobs are needed in the economy for different reasons like we need doctors and nurses in hospital for the injured or surgery's and dietitians for telling us abt our diet and how we can improve it.This all applies to the jobs mentioned.
    Also there is lots of students that take sports,for example hockey,badminton,basketball and football. Education or studying is not NONSENSE,Education is the best thing for a person to learn knowledge,actors and famous footballers are there for entertainment.

    What I'm saying is we don't produce the footballer like we used to. Back when I was young in Dublin you would see young fellas out kicking a ball around. Nowadays they spend their time on computer games playing football instead of getting out doing the real thing. Some of the best footballers in the world have learned their skills off the streets.

    All right, all right, untwist the knickers, everyone, please!

    Ayumi, the original Johnny Giles was an Irish soccer player and manager, and is now a commentator with RTE for soccer. Hence a certain tongue in cheek element to the "In my day ..." posts.

    Lads, I may be mistaken, but I have the idea in the back of my head that ayumi isn't originally from Ireland, so s/he may not necessarily "get" all Irish humour. That doesn't make a fail, any more than I don't necessarily get all Mayo humour ... too much of it seems to revolve around sheep for some reason!! :P

    He just meant that you had missed the joke, ayumi.

    It's what my school said MUST be done, if you want 600 points. It's not that much really, considering you'd spend a minimum of 6 hours in school on a normal day and 3 hours in after school study:rolleyes:

    Jeez, Owen, it's supposed to be the mid-term break!

    Getting a bit of study done is a good idea, but 9 hours a day is crazy, esp. this early in the year ... I can see people peaking too early and being wrecked by the time LC actually rolls around.

    BALANCE in all things tends to work well ... :)

    You've got to have balance, it's key. Sometimes the teacher will be putting too much pressure on you. All good teachers do that. It's the same with football. The guy who spends more time on the training ground will do better on the pitch. It's all about discipline.

    Indeed, and sometimes the teacher is hoping that if they say 9, people might do 3!

    Indeed, but as I am sure you will agree Johnny, the guy who over-trains, and especially too early in the season, is likely to be past it by the time the big day rolls around! :)

    Now, now Mayo humour is the best kind of humour around! And as for the sheep jokes they're limited to certain areas and certain people!!
