Should I report my teacher?

    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.

    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,498 ✭✭✭Brussels Sprout


    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.

    It might generate discussion

    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!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,853 ✭✭✭✭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

    I knew that I'd come across a complete scrotum like you on this thread

    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 556 ✭✭✭bobdcow


    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.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,559 ✭✭✭✭AnonoBoy


    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.

    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.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,719 ✭✭✭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!!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,647 ✭✭✭lazybones32


    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.

    Do what you feel necessary.

    Your literacy is better than mine. That sounds condescending as f'ck. It's not my intention. I should have undertook LCVP. I got 490 in the leaving. What industry are you hoping to get inyo?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,129 ✭✭✭Arsemageddon


    What the hell is wrong with kids nowadays?

    Believe it or not, I actually am! Everyone loves a doss class but not one that's been recurring for months.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,136 ✭✭✭Anonymagician


    Sounds handy enough.

    It is quite handy if you know what you're at. Even the 50 points from a merit can make a huge difference to people. You also leave school with a perfect CV, work experience and interview skills as well as a base knowledge of business. I find LCVP is a bit like a watered down business subject.

    The op says the teacher rambles about things such as teacher strikes. But that sounds like something that would be very relevant to things like unions and the working world. Am I missing something?

    There's a reason why the points are low. Have you looked into the employment prospects?

    Ok maybe teacher strikes was a bad example so here is some other rambling topics:

    Organic food.
    Off the top of my head that's all I can think off but I can assure you that I'm not lying.

    Though it's been almost 10 years, from what I can remember there wasn't mush too it. We covered the course pretty quickly and I spent the rest of the time in supervised study.... Or did I even do LCVP?

    Anyway just goes to show you, in 10 years time it will all be a distant memory.

    What LCVP? Yes I Googled it but I don't get it. Is it a separate LC programme or something? Or is it a subject that's part of the normal LC?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,959 ✭✭✭diusmr8a504cvk


    Part of the normal LC, just another optional subject.
