Unlucky for the current crop of kids who will have to compete for college places with previous years’ students who got inflated grades, but there’s not much else that can be done really. It’s just another element of Covid impact.
Let’s hear it for stupid kids!
Also, lest anyone think I’m making some kind of snide point, rather than just saying something I think is quite funny in the moment I think it’s good that expectations are going down for children. And this will lower those. There’s too much weight put on these things and it can crush you.
Considering this year & next years LC kids actually started secondary school in the throes of covid, I find this really fuckin callous. Ask most teachers and they will tell you they are still dealing with the fallout. Anxiety/school refusal is through the roof.
Should be a good time to push the wealth of FET options people have now if the grades don’t go their way for Higher Ed
Most kids could do with a plc course because they are not ready for college. It’s a great thing to do when your unsure and still maturing. The leaving cert is inflated text designed for you to dump it onto a page but in my opinion doesn’t really help for college assignment which is very different. Plc courses help with this a lot. Also if you don’t do well there is hope for you.
I wonder if some of the high points courses will adjust their points downwards as a result
It’s an absolute disgrace that grades were artifically inflated to begin with, never mind that it’s *still* policy, even for this years group who will *only* have grades inflated by 5.5%.
We’re still knowingly inflating results of students. How the fuck is that fair or setting a good example or acting with integrity? Yet another example of corruption and nonsensical policies with zero long term thought or vision used.
