Not all amalgamations are due to declining numbers. Parent Power means that there is a drive for amalgamation into co-ed schools

As was the case with the Junior Cycle French paper, the dumbing down in yesterday’s Junior Cycle Common Level German paper is shocking.
Junior Cycle CL German paper is easier than past Junior Cert Ordinary Level German papers. Depressing to see how low the bar now is. #edchatie

3 German teachers gave feedback to @IrishTimesEdu_ on today’s Leaving Cert German papers.
One teacher not working for a grinds business, one from @IOE_Dublin (who has been asked by @IrishTimes every single year for as long as I can remember) & one from @tuition_centre #edchatie

Just one teacher gave feedback on today’s Leaving Cert Construction Studies exam for @IrishTimesEdu_
Does this subject not count at @IOE_Dublin, @Studyclix and @tuition_centre? #edchatie

One teacher without a side grinds hustle, one from the Institute of Ed., one from The Tuition Centre & one from Studyclix with links to the websites of those last two grinds businesses. #edchatie

There really should be more focus on, and appreciation of, the Leaving Certificate Applied (LCA) rather than the constant obsession with the Leaving Certificate Established and the CAO points race. Would be great to see more articles like this @IrishTimesEdu_ please. #edchatie

Junior Cycle French Common Level exam is “an absolute horror show” but not for the reasons Elizabeth mentions. CL paper is far easier than the Junior Cert Ordinary Level papers of the past and does nobody any favours. This year’s close test, though unexpected, was easy. #edchatie

Mixed reaction to Leaving Cert French exam papers, 3 of 4 teachers asked for feedback work for grinds businesses.
J’attends avec impatience le jour when @IrishTimesEdu_ seeks feedback from French teachers who don’t work for FrenchNotes, @tuition_centre or @Studyclix

In the aftermath of this year’s #LeavingCert maths papers, here is a link to a June 2023 article written by Emma O’Kelly (for which I was interviewed) around the controversial higher level paper 1 of that year

Today’s Junior Cycle French paper (Common Level) really makes for depressing reading.
It is so dumbed down compared to the Junior Cert French papers of the past. The paper is easier than most of the past Junior Cert Ordinary Level French papers and that’s not good. #edchatie
