I'm just going to leave this here for future reference.

No doubt I'll end up retweeting this in 2022.

The debacle of the Junior Cycle English exam was clear from the beginning.
I wrote this in 2015.

@conorsmurf It is, without doubt, the most poorly designed course and assessment I have ever seen.

[Michael Browne @de_Bruner]

@kevino253 @JeromeDevitt @KMUBarry @Mr_PHuff @KevinCahill5 I actually read it a few weeks ago.

[Michael Browne @de_Bruner]

@kevino253 @JeromeDevitt @KMUBarry @Mr_PHuff @KevinCahill5 1982, I thought? Richard Kearney editor of the journal? I might be mistaken.

[Michael Browne @de_Bruner]

@conorsmurf @LDHennelly Yeah, the paper is what I'm getting at...

It's very similar to the old one (which I don't mind), but the trajectory we're on is Junior Cycle-esque - that's what I'm worried about.

[Michael Browne @de_Bruner]

@conorsmurf @LDHennelly We will by the time it comes in.

Way too much there in terms of 'coverage'. This is Junior Cycle 2.0.

[Michael Browne @de_Bruner]

@conorsmurf @LDHennelly And imagine you have one hour classes...

[Michael Browne @de_Bruner]

@leninology A poor result, and can't disagree that it was deserved.

Interesting though... The last time the SPD had a result like this, they were basically the victims of Bismarck's political manoeuvres.

Apples and oranges, yes, but nationalism was a factor.

@charlesmurray What is the libertarian response to the post-liberal moment?

[Michael Browne @de_Bruner]

Irish policy-making. Like a kite in a hurricane.

Schools told to prepare for AI in class as detection methods ‘will not work’ https://t.co/uklWlWzYVC

@humphreyjones @Jessjcasey it's not even NCCA's problem. It's the SEC's.

This quotation just goes to show disparate the thinking is around this issue - simply not joined up at all.

The spoofery is breathtaking.

Creative writing at 2nd level as envisioned by Norma Foley;
1st yr- lots of small to medium pieces trying to build maturity onto their primary school work.
2nd yr- paragraphs in isolation.
3rd yr - paragraphs in isolation.
4th yr- a module.
5th yr-AI will do it.
6th yr- none

[Conor Murphy @conorsmurf]

I was never told that the Internet would destroy education.
Actually, I was told that we should embrace the Internet and that students don't need to know anything. I was told this by people introducing the new Junior Cycle.
Now we're being told they don't even have to create.

@Jennifer_Bray FG are out of touch with young people.

[Michael Browne @de_Bruner]

@ciarancannon Sheer arrogance. You are completely out of touch.

A short blog for your morning coffee or commute.
What if a student's home life was replicated in an exam hall?
Here I imagine that scenario in relation to the new Leaving Cert projects (AACs) @NormaFoleyTD1 insists on despite opposition from experts.
