Department of Education: Give Leaving Cert students of 2020 the result predicted by their school - Sign the Petition! https://t.co/O5HAfe92Gr via @Change
@evelynharte 1.Over 8000 mistaken upgrades, 2.people pushed out of rightful college places 3.the shady Fernando Cartwright 4.downgrading from schools who have not overestimated..
How is the case dismissed?? Am I missing something?
@mickmurph01 @evelynharte Apparently the judge concluded that "a degree of statistical accuracy had to be sacrificed to gain public acceptance." So there you are, your grades and with that hopes and dreams, were sacrificed to keep the public happy...
@mariafaherty The elephant in the room - not enough College places, we encourage our kids to do their best #LC2020 & then they cannot get a place on the course they aimed for-how many were forced to go abroad last year?? Let’s face it they ain’t coming back to a country that sold them a lie.
@MaryCarolanIT@ITdominiccoyle@IrishTimes Well he is siding with @NormaFoleyTD1 and the Dept who inflated the grades and skyrocketed points and here we go again this year ...free rein for Norma to play around with digestible results for her voting public - teachers-what would they know? Unbelievable
@Independent_ie Yes the court has just confirmed that we r going to get more “inflated Grades” points r going to go through the roof again and ur points will be decided by @NormaFoleyTD1 unbelievable..
@MaryCarolanIT@IrishTimes Please do not add insult to injury my daughter went to the Institute and I’m fed up of her being judged for wanting to put her heart and soul into her studies, weekly tests from 5thyr back up her teachers PG and she proved them right sat Nov exams..#LC2020 568 points deserved
@YvonneW27592982 Hopefully he will be fair & see if 8k got to keep inflated grades & college places surely teens with consistent proven track records should have teachers grades reinstated! #LC2020
@Patrick44647794@IrishTimes@NormaFoleyTD1 deciding on who got what either over or under the grades their teachers gave them was the major problem- totally undermined teachers professionalism and students hard, hard work
@Patrick44647794@IrishTimes We r heading down the same road this year and that is the problem...students with grades in regular class tests to back up teachers grades were downgraded by Dept - how is that correct and others with little back up got bumped up higher than their teachers thought they deserved!!
@IrishTimes At last! Don’t know how I missed this during the week but it’s only taken 6 months for the IT to print what really happened in #Lc2020. The results of those downgraded grades must be corrected & the #LC2021 is on the same collision course with @NormaFoleyTD1 at the wheel -fiasco
@JWowWow2 No inquiry into #LC2020 2.5k downgraded at @NormaFoleyTD1 pleasure. Gov & opposition in it together both afraid of public backlash so hung 2.5k downgraded out to dry. Afraid to publish the truth of what really went on and here we go again #LC2021
@AodhanORiordain This is chaos on another level-why was there no independent inquiry into #LC2020 all of this could have been avoided. Gov & opposition couldn’t publish the truth! 2.5k Students were thrown under a bus for @NormaFoleyTD1 political gain-someone needs to shout stop
@emma_okelly Emma you did not report on the 2.5k students downgraded in #LC2020 world and their wives know it was nothing more than a political move by @NormaFoleyTD1 & u didn’t call her out ...sorry but u & @rtenews lost me & lots others right there 😕
@paulodonoghue93 The 2.5k that had their teachers grades downgraded, really did have the rug pulled out from under them. My daughter gave 110% to her studies in good faith that hard work would pay off, she believed in herself her teachers believed in her @NormaFoleyTD1 had other ideas ...
