Leaving Cert 2021: A THREAD #LeavingCert2021 #LeavingCert

Buses were being cancelled left right and centre today. Don’t say that buses will show up if they won’t. The time kept pushing back minute by minute. Extremely frustrating and feel sorry for the elderly and people with prams having to wait in the cold.

Shocking behaviour from @GoAheadIreland today. The bus turned up 50 minutes after it was due. We were then told that we all had to get off at the next stop for the next bus, which was half an hour late. People left stranded on the coldest day of the year - unacceptable!

Also another useful link (For Leaving Cert students only). Please voice your opinion as much as you can and also respectfully. Don’t sit in silence and then complain when it’s too late.

This might be worth filling out if you are a Junior Cert/Leaving Cert student who wants to express their opinion on the matter 👍🏻

(6) Consider the struggles of each student this year, whether it’s having internet issues for online classes, doing an extra subject outside of school, having to teach themselves courses due to a lack of teaching and personal issues. This is not a normal LC. #LeavingCert2021

(5) I feel that I’m almost prioritising my education over my health this year. My biggest concern is the LC and I nearly forget that we are going through a deadly pandemic, which we are at the height of. “Traditional” exams are not feasible. We need the option. #LeavingCert2021

(4) We are aware that last year’s situation was not ideal and was a mess but there has been a substantial amount of time since then to fix this system as we all knew that we could possibly find ourselves in the same situation as last year’s 6th Years. #LeavingCert2021

(3) We need certainty at this time. We are being worked to the bone in case we end up getting predicted grades but at the same time, if this doesn’t happen, we will all be drained by the time we have to sit our exams. Our whole course has been a nightmare. #LeavingCert2021
