Yeah, but they can get the "answer through irish" bonus......bastards

Actually, what that is is they get 10% of the points they didn't get, so it helps the weaker students and less so the stronger. More of an averaging thing than an actual... bettering thing.

Well at least that's what someone told me... who goes to one of those schools.

Still an increase in marks

PurpleFistMixer · 19-09-2004, 20:45

A slight one, true... but then again.. it IS in Irish, so it's harder. Kinda evens it out?

Not if you speak irish. People in the gaeltacht for instance, they'll all be fluent

Ah yes but I'm thinking of Coláiste íosagáin and the other one, which are in Dublin.

My lil bro got 3 As and 6 Bs. The swat!

He's still not happy with his results though. Dunno why?

He told me he could have done alot better if he hadnt had a cold at the time and if he hadnt sprained his right thumb.

A girl in the year above me got something like 9 A's and a B! Her mum's my maths teacher though, and her dad is another maths teacher in the school. It'd be great if she failed maths! I wonder would her parents disown her?

Imagine how embarrassing that would be for her!

Why would it be great if she failed maths? Just because she has two parents who are maths teachers doesn't mean she doesn't deserve it... unless the mother is a bitch?

Is it true that there will be league tables for the junior cert published? Btw I have a friend who got 11 As and a B!! I think he is also in a public school. I was told by my school principal that a result like that would be in the top 5 results nationwide this year
