Should I report my teacher?

diusmr8a504cvk

Well lads, I'm in 5th year and my LCVP teacher is just woeful. As I write this we have learned the rights and responsibilities of employers and employees, contract of employment, a bit of health and safety, trade unions and a bit on job interviews. This may look like a lot but some of those topics were a quarter of a page long with photos and we have covered sweet F*ck all since after Christmas.

I'm not some guy who spends every minute in the books but Christ I wouldn't mind learning something seeing as the only reason that others and I are doing it is for the points. She's old enough, she must be in her late 50's I would guess and she's fairly nice but for every 1 minute of teaching there's 10 minutes of talk about something irrelevant e.g. School Strikes.

I'd appreciate if people didn't comment the usual dumb sh*t such as "LCVP is easy". Do you think I should report her? The class is brutal and we learn nothing So I'm really leaning towards it.

You could but you'll probably end up being the most hated pupil in your year.

Report her for what ?

Better option is to seduce her. I saw it in a movie once. Apparently the older women are all about the younger lads these days.

This thread is like reading somebody else's Facebook page.

Go to your principal first and report your concerns with a level head. No shouting, hand waving, just a chat. After that there is SFA you can do about it but educate yourself. We all had crap teachers over the years but you will find them still in place long after you have gone.

Pointless. The teachers will close ranks and protect them. That's the way it's always been and that's the way the unions like it.

I thought about that also but Christ we do nothing.

Show her this thread in the morning
It might generate discussion

You're in 5th year, take it handy! You'll have enough work to be doing when you get to trinners

LCVP is a meaningless piss take of a subject, definitely not worth the hassle.

From my own experience of LCVP, you genuinely have covered quite a bit on the theory there but more importantly what have you done on the portfolio? Have you done work experience?

Honestly, reporting teachers who've been with schools for years and years on the basis that they're just not very good probably won't do a whole lot. It shouldn't be like that but it is.

I'm really sorry about your situation OP, my own LCVP teacher is seemingly rubbish too, often ranting about politicians etc but she's been at it for so long and the results are there so I figure there has to be a method to her madness!

looksee

Have a read of this http://www.examinations.ie/schools/S09_14_LCVP_2014_-_Gudelines_to_Schools_English_Version.pdf to see what you need to do
and this http://www.egs.ie/files/preparing-the-lcvp-portfolio--ensuring-sucess.pdf

then do a bit of googling to research answers and get a 100% mark

We're up to date on portfolio, thanks for the reply

One for the obvious things I just realised thread but is Scrout (as in dirt bag) taken from scrotum ?

What a load of balls.

There is literately no point on reporting anyone in the public sector on a permanent contract, for doing a poor job.

I'm not even trying to be humorous, this is just how it works.

Talk to the teacher first, if you go to the principal all he/she will do is refer you back to the teacher to talk about it - and the principal knows. It may be better to keep the principal out of it for a while could make your life easier. If nothing changes you could have your parents talk to the teacher - telling her it's the 2nd chat she's had and next time it'll go further - see if that works? - Good Luck what ever you choose to do

In fairness a couple of teachers in the school have been reported before over giving guff to students, I'm not sure about being bad teachers but surely it's worth a try!

There's sweet FA to be learned in this subject. If you were to learn these things through a workplace course you'd spend maybe 40 minutes per subject, maybe a day at most. All they've done with this course is spread a few hours of classes over a year.

So I wouldn't worry, you're not missing out on anything.

Are people still talking about school?

I finished school years ago.

I'm bored.

Stop talking about school you guys.

Leaving Cert: Vantage Point.

It's a spin off series available on Netflix or else a first-person shooter on the PS4. I can't remember which.

The Backwards Man

Had to google LCVP, I'm left school that long I've never heard of it. Sounds like a load of balls.

It adds another subject to the LC called Link Modules where you learn about the working world, the community, enterprise etc. I think the portfolio is worth 60% and that includes things like a CV, a summary report, perhaps a diary of work experience among other things. There's a written exam that takes place in May. The subject is graded on a pass/merit/distinction basis with a distinction being worth 70 LC points.

Sounds handy enough.

Badly Drunk Boy

Would the work experience part of it only be for a week or two? I'm only asking because the sons of a few of my colleagues have been in work with us for a very short time, over the past year or three.

One of them, the son of a colleague who is sometimes known as 'The Magpie', had to do a job which needed gloves. When we offered a certain type, he said "These aren't that great. My father has loads of packs of these exact ones at home but I need better gloves."

Talk about hanging yer Da!!

If my memory serves me correctly - and I think it does

1: You had a bit of trouble with a Teacher/Principal before Xmas about period blood. It's too soon to go complaining about another Teacher
2: You also gave first notice of the PSN being taken-down on Xmas day by some group called 'reptiles'? And it came to pass.

Ask the Teacher herself to do something more with you. You'll probably get beaten up for that one or accused of sexual harassment but either way, it'll liven up the class.

Your teacher was clearly ahead of their time, they've prepared you perfectly for facebook posting.

First and foremost thanks for the background check Detective Drebin. Yeah I ended up getting a week's detention for that and the group were called "Lizard Squad".
