    Exam Results = Groundhog day.

    Dullest annual news day is awarded to Leaving Cert results day in Ireland and it's UK equivalent.

    Pass rates are slightly up/down.
    A level grades are slightly up/down.
    Students taking maths is slightly up/down on last year.
    An increase/decrease is applications to some subject areas.
    An overall increase/decrease trend in application to some subject has been observed.
    Video of elated student reporting better than expected results.
    Short interview with student specifying what they want to study.
    Short discussion on the way papers are marked.

    Yawn. Yawn. Yawn.

    Where do I complain about this ?

    The BAI

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    So were balls.

    Like balloons they are now.

    And they were slippers for boots.
