If Leaving Cert students are in for three days a week... What do those teachers do in terms of their other pupils?
They either lose a chunk of their day travelling in and out for one period, or have to teach from their classrooms for the day (do all schools have that capacity?)
They either lose a chunk of their day travelling in and out for one period, or have to teach from their classrooms for the day (do all schools have that capacity?)
Those "other pupils" include;
Junior Cert pupils who lost a chunk of their second year
Second year pupils who will have to sit Junior Cert next year
Fifth Year pupils who have to sit the Leaving Cert next year



On this year's Fifth Years in particular;
The majority (who didn't do TY) had their Third Year massively truncated and got predicted grades for their Junior Cert
They now will likely fall down priority list this year
Have to sit Leaving next year



I would also point out that if, as has been said repeatedly by government, the new variant of #Covid19 is driving the spike here, has that been borne in mind when asking classes of 16-19 year-olds (and their teachers) to travel in and out of school for 60% of their normal week?
In relation to Junior Cycle students;
Are CBAs still planned to go ahead?
Will the written exam be altered further, considering they are now facing a fourth month (out of an 18-month syllabus) out of the classroom? https://twitter.com/gavreilly/status/1346861187837923329
