First revived #edchatie discussion yonder on Monday evening, 7.30-8.30pm, is on what we want in education from the next government.

Irish educators: pls RT.

Looking for future hosts: drop a DM or comment if you fancy a go.

The gas thing is there’s more leg room on a Ryanair flight than there is inside in my classroom.

As English teachers have heard. Front page article in ‘Irish Times’ this morning by Carl O’Brien points to a 40% Additional Assessment Component in Leaving Certificate English, & one terminal exam.

Theory: ‘easing stress’. Reality is likely to be increasing it.

Then there’s AI.

Thanks to the The @TuamHerald for coverage on the multi-million euro sports facilities that will be developed on our school grounds in the near future. Everyone in the college is very excited by the news.

@guythomasholder @MrDanielBuck How about parents parent and stop expecting others to do their jobs for them 🫠

[Brighid Cannon @brighidcannon]

If they are at the stage where they are “glued” to their phones in school, look to educating and empowering parents first. THIS is where the problem is @NormaFoleyTD1 . Kids on phones all hours of the night, too tired to focus during the day. Start there.

[Norma Foley T.D @NormaFoleyTD1]

My op-ed today in @thejournal_ie about why I am providing funding to secondary schools for mobile phone pouches or other storage solutions so that students are no longer glued to their phones during the school day.

[Brighid Cannon @brighidcannon]

@conorsmurf @Goldmoone If she’s gonna shell out for pouches she would want to give them to parents for use at home first. No talk at all about kids on their phones for hours into the night and then zombified with tiredness in the morning. The problem with phones , like most things, starts at home.

@sccenglish @TraleeESC Fantastic Julian!

[Brighid Cannon @brighidcannon]

@Mr_PHuff Also intrigued as to the controversial opinion !

[Brighid Cannon @brighidcannon]

@DavidGillick Fabulous work well done!

[Brighid Cannon @brighidcannon]

@simonmlewis Couldn't agree with you more. It's straight out of Norma Foley's method of "solving" a problem. Land it at the door of the school and tick the box.

[Brighid Cannon @brighidcannon]

@mikeymeally @sarfern It's so blatant it's shocking ... like they didn't even try to change it up . Totally unacceptable

[Brighid Cannon @brighidcannon]

@sccenglish Sounds excellent Julian. Pity I live so far away.

[Brighid Cannon @brighidcannon]

Leo just explains it perfectly 😂😂🙄🙄 #owngoal

In case you were in any doubt whatsoever, it’s not the state’s responsibility to care for your relatives who may be old or in need of care, it’s a family responsibility.
