JCT Wellbeing Day

What an absolute waste of a day! I feel bad for the facilitators but it was hopeless....a rehash of all the jargon & mantras we've heard before. Could have been done in half an hour. And they've completely overdone the 'group work', I think I've developed an aversion to it after today!

So we go from having students do one set of “high stakes” exams in the old Junior Cert that was 10 exams in 2-3 weeks to now doing 8 CBAS in 2nd year, 8 CBAS in 3rd year as well as 8 ATs and 8 exams worth 90%?
And some have the gall to claim they think this is good for them and their well-being?

Absolutely agree will be huge stress on some kids too much pressure.
