    This unqualified person is in charge of students.
    Is s/he garda vetted?

    S/he has no idea how to manaage a class. What if someone is injured/takes off without permission/is treated in an unacceptable manner by the 'teacher'or another student?

    I wouldn't want to be the principal or BOM member in that school.
    I wouldn't want to be a student there either.

    I am well aware of the potential disasters that can happen in the classroom, however, you are missing my point.
    It is not illegal.

    there was an article in the Times about two years ago, where an undercover journalist worked in a primary school for two days without producing any documentation. I think sometime s they are desperately seeking teachers for a day or two coverage.

    Well the education editor (Seán Flynn) has left the Indo ... He's in an even worse place now, at Ruairi Quinn's right hand! What influence will that have?!

    Quinn is a shrewd mover, told INTO how great we are, but yes, lots of cuts.

    There's something a bit unnerving about Quinn. I don't doubt his competence (unlike his unfortunate predecessor), but there's something I can't quite put my finger on that makes alarm bells ring every time I hear him speak.

    It's probably these savage cuts he spoke about today, now I think of it.
