    Wow a mod insulting my family ... etc.
    Again I ask ... if you are so sure what you did was right, how does suggesting that you got that attitude from your family (seeing as they didn't "bat an eyelid") when you told them) insult either you or them?

    Apart from that, you have been told the grievance procedure; feel free to use it.

    Wow a mod insulting my family. That's not very nice. I am an adult what I did happened years ago. Do you think my parents should start lecturing me.


    With out giving away to much info. My mother is a director of a charity in Ireland and works 6 days a week for free. She has appeared in every national paper. She has been featured in articles in America, Australia and Spain. She has been on Q&A and the Late late and only a few moths ago was featured on the front page of a leading national paper celebrating the work she and the charity she works for do.

    I myself donate 2 hours a week of my time to Friends of the Elderly and I can be found 2 weekends of every month doing a soup run for the homeless of Ireland. So enough of the lectures about my ethics and morals. And please keep my wonderful parents out of this. Typical mod............say what you feel!!!!!!!!!!!

    Are you only posting here just to look for an argument.

    No need to start stereotyping anyone!
    Besides, everyone else has had a pretty good go at saying what they feel about things.... yourself included.
    After all - it is a discussion board! ;)

    If your parents are so wonderful, why do you take someone saying you got your attitude from them as an insult? Surely that would be a compliment?

    I might be the only one who thought this when I read the last couple of comments in this thread, however I would have to question the propriety of a moderator of this forum insulting the family of a poster.


    Cheers

    Are you here just because you want to aggrivate people?

    Are you just here to troll? Because we are actually trying to seriously talk about something that is affecting 59000 of us

    It's called taken the p***

    I don't think I insulted anyone; I think I merely stated the obvious.

    For that matter, if thefly is so sure he did right, how would suggesting he got that attitude from his parents insult either him or them?

    However ... see below.



    Moderators are subject to review just like any poster; we are not "above the law".


    Who said I have the same morals as my folks. They try to instill their morals on me but whether I take them on board or not is my decision.

    the fact that neither you or your parents care you cheated shows how similar you are..

    I never said they didn't care but telling them about something I did long after it happened what do you expect them to do, ground me?

    They still didn't care, same way as you didn't.

    Comparing Cheating on a state exam to a kid stealing sweets from a shop is a terrible example btw.

    Well considering how badly our student are suffering in international grade leagues, thats not a bad thing. In fact because of my cheating exams are now harder meaning students have to study more which makes them more intelligent.


    Wow not only did I get a better mark because of cheating, I have also made future students more intelligent!!!!!!

    Surely by your logic, exams being harder doesn't make students study more, it would just make them cheat more...

    Mod never mentioned your family . lay off . i feel sorry for your parents if they are so genuine, and your argument is as solid as rapists who go to church every sunday.
    You are trolling so seriously give it up. your failed ethics have YOU have no affect on our leaving cert so seriously just go away you have nothing to gain from this unless you get turned on by peoples irritation by your very existence.

    Namune, becca, annoyed LC student:

    Stop trying to name names by stealth on this forum or you will be banned.

    Have the courage of your convictions and contact the SEC directly if you feel the local people are not dealing with the matter.

    Aw man I thought I edited it in time :o

    As I said, I presume you (namune, annoyed lc student, becca) have contacted the SEC and found no joy. Have you tried telling the supervisors in the middle of the exam that she has her phone on her lap? probably :o

    The only thing I can think of to catch her out is to have someone not sitting the exams (e.g. a 5th year), who has her number to constantly ring her during the exams. It will keep closing the saved messages she's reading and eventually she'll turn it off for fear of the vibration being heard.

    that would not work as this student is a slippery snake.

    the SEC superviser at the exam centre is aware as far as I know but does not seem to be able to catch this student out. her positioning in the exam centre prevents cameras from catching her.

    This student is possibly being protected by "daddy" as he was fairly well to do during the Ahern years.

    the only way to really catch her now would be for another student to burst in mid exam and forcefully take the phone off her or sheets. but thats not going to happen as it would cause huge disruption to the other people sitting their exam

    I wont be naming and shaming the student

    Oh i guess then lets not do anything about cheaters.

    Take it one step at a time. It would be MUCH more difficult for them to cheat there
