Worse - teachers' mammies!

New teachers are now the most vulnerable in our society Joe

I agree that it's not the end of the world by any means.

But after two years of hard work it is very tough on those who have to wait a whole year to resit the exams.

It shouldn't be that hard for them to stage repeats in August.



This caller is spot on. Same goes for elections and census jobs.

You don't have to be a teacher to supervise an exam?

snubbleste

Are the students on drugs? - unwell

No. Nor should you have to be.

It will be interesting what Ben Dunne has to say about this

Maybe Joe has Sonny lined up to sing next

AK333

Is she going to pay for the teachers to supervise her daughter taking a second exam? We have a limited pot for everyone

HeidiHeidi

Now you're just being silly.

Harry Angstrom

I doubt that her daughter is all that pushed about doing the Leaving Cert. I wouldn't have been.

No she doesn't. who decides whats a genuine medical complaint - we'll have every child coming in with a medical cert looking for a time to suit them. That's life, you have to fit in with everyone else, not everyone fitting in with you.

Joe mentioned August, I'm convinced a researcher is watching this thread :P

Or is one of us on this thread ...

....but who?

yop

"everyone does"..... I know plenty that didn't do well in the LC! The ape

Roger_007

Why is everyone getting the pox all of a sudden?

SEPT 23 1989

I thought 17/18 was a bit long in the tooth to get chicken pox

do most kids not get it much younger?

Wish somebody would ring in and tell us how they got around this problem since the year dot when the Leaving Cert was first introduced. I am sure this is not the first year people got sick?

Adults get shingles, incredibly painful.

But in terms of college places, that's pretty much the same, because they won't be able to go in September.

They might as well wait until next year.


Could set a worrying precedent to allow these things.

Its that time of year I know loads of little kids with it, but you can be open to it with stress too.

I was just thinking the same thing. I had it when I was 12 and I was considered old to be getting it! The older you are the worse it is. I wouldn't fancy doing a 3 hour exam if I had it.

They sit it the following year. But that ain't good enough any more, by all accounts.

Hello!

pc7

I had it as an adult, I felt lousy for a few days before it, the spots arrived and then I was top notch once the spots came out. You feel worse before arrive, hopefully they'll be ok by tomorrow.

curioser

And now for a history lesson - it happened 30 years ago.

Harry Angstrom

Sounds like her brother had Leaving Certitis.

Don't you have to have had chicken pox before you get shingles?

It wasn't me...

CarrickMcJoe

What next, Joe, my son died and still done his leaving cert....

Lapin

No point in calling Ruarí Quinn if she's already being on the dog to the Taoiseach.

HeidiHeidi

Nothing (NOTHING) has changed in 30/40years in the LC, Joe?

Really?

An Claidheamh

Surely the first caller meant that her son is not capable of doing the exam, in school or at home?

neris

poxy chickens

sudzs

"PG"

wtf??? :rolleyes:

NickD

Sure why don't we let ALL the kids do their leaving certs at home, Joe?

You do indeed, get pox as a kid, then its dormant, can return then again when your an adult, as shingles

redbuck

I done me leaving cert with small pox in the year nineteen hundred and fifty seven on a stretcher Joe.
