Can someone please explain how on earth orals could possibly go ahead safely? #LeavingCert2021 #LeavingCert @NormaFoleyTD1 @MichealMartinTD

[Anonymous Irish Student @AnonymousIrish5]

@IsobelMKeane Are you sure that we won’t get them early?

[Anonymous Irish Student @AnonymousIrish5]

@PaulQuinnNews @VirginMediaNews Any word on orals?

[Anonymous Irish Student @AnonymousIrish5]

@A_lee_see_ahh Have they outlined how they would like orals to proceed? Surely they can’t be online?

[Anonymous Irish Student @AnonymousIrish5]

@A_lee_see_ahh But they’re advocating for a formal exam and no choice. Is this not a bad thing?

.@astiunion should be ashamed. Walking out of the room will not deliver for teachers or students. This has further added to stress, without bringing us any closer to a viable and fair solution #LeavingCert2021

[Anonymous Irish Student @AnonymousIrish5]

How can you say that calculated grades are unfair on students if 81% of said students want them? Stop trying to hide your real motives ie. sheer laziness and greed @astiunion #makepredictedgradesoptional #canceltheleavingcert2021 #LeavingCert2021

[Anonymous Irish Student @AnonymousIrish5]

@astiunion is an absolute disgrace. They have just contributed significantly to students stress and anxiety by more than likely delaying the decision making process. Their opinion just be discarded completely #canceltheleavingcert2021 #LeavingCert2021 #makepredictedgradesoptional

[Anonymous Irish Student @AnonymousIrish5]

@astiunion I hope you know how many students hate you right now. You have more than likely extended our time of stress and uncertainty. You should be ashamed. You represent the pinnacle of laziness and selfishness.

[Anonymous Irish Student @AnonymousIrish5]

Is anyone else even more confused about the LC now? #canceltheleavingcert2021 #LeavingCert #makepredictedgradesoptional #LeavingCert2021

[lc 21 @leavingcert21]

i see a lot of the class of 2020 tweeting and warning us about predicted grades, which is appreciated! but i’m looking out for my mental health rn rather than putting myself through hell to try sit an exam that i’ve been unprepared for. #leavingcert2021 #canceltheleavingcert2021

[Hugo Lopez @HugoLop_green]

How can @astiunion and @TUIunion claim to know what causes stress for students when they are actively defying our outcries, which call for the exact opposite of what they selfishly want? https://t.co/ahLbZWm6aM

@Dylan86736267 @astiunion @TUIunion This is absolutely true. They just want more money for their members in return for less work

[Anonymous Irish Student @AnonymousIrish5]

@TUIunion @astiunion stop speaking on behalf of students. The majority of us want predicted grades. Stop telling us how this won’t lessen our anxiety. You can’t speak for us. That’s not your job. #canceltheleavingcert2021 #makepredictedgradesoptional #LeavingCert #LeavingCert2021

[Anonymous Irish Student @AnonymousIrish5]

@leavingcerter21 Similarly some schools have provided better online learning, so students who aren’t in these schools would be majorly disadvantaged in a formal exam.

[Anonymous Irish Student @AnonymousIrish5]

Mocks have been cancelled in my school. Surely this has to be considered now also. It is simply unfair to expect us to sit the same exam as every other year when our preparation has been anything but normal #canceltheleavingcert2021 #makepredictedgradesoptional #LeavingCert2021

[Anonymous Irish Student @AnonymousIrish5]

@leavingcerter21 They are going carry out continuous assessments with exam style tests throughout the rest of the year. My teachers aren’t part of a union so they are doing this completely independently 👍🏻

[Anonymous Irish Student @AnonymousIrish5]

@astiunion @TUIunion you are cruel, self serving, horrible organizations that only care about your bottom like. How about you consider the fact that the majority of students want predicted grades before making ridiculous comments about it not reducing stress #LeavingCert2021
