Eoin Ó Broin: Always corrected teachers when they made a small mistake and felt great about himself afterwards.
Donnchadh Ó Laoghaire: Probably was good at charming the girls.
Richard Boyd Barrett: Wanted everything for free.
Colm Brophy: Tried his best to charm everybody.
Joan Burton: Probably kept her head down.
Jack Chambers: Studied his head off and really sucked up to teacher.
Clare Daly: Probably rude and argumentative to everybody.
Healey-Rae's: Often talked about farming.
Gino Kenny: Disorganised.
Josepha Madigan: One of the mean girls.
Mary Mitchell O Connor: Might have being a bit ditzy but did good when she put her head down.
Paul Murphy: Probably was awkward
amongst his peers and teachers.
Noel Rock: Overly Arrogant.
Shane Ross: Might have being very snobby.
Leo Varadkar: Studied like mad and was very quiet.

Over achieving teachers pets who don't know why they get teased.

There's an early episode of the Simpsons where Bart helps Martin Prince to try and be popular and Martin can't understand why he isn't liked that illustrates what I mean perectly:


Bart: Because I can make it so the other kids don't laugh at you so much.
Martin: They...laugh at me? I'd always considered myself rather popular.
Bart: You're not. Watch.
(Bart grunts as he pushes Martin to the ground and nearby kids laugh.)
Martin: But my--my speed with numbers, my years of service as a hall monitor, my prize-winning dioramas--these things mean nothing to them?

I think Martin's character was based on Simon Harris.

Joan Burton kept her head down? Are you on drugs pal? She'd have been the class brown noser. Every question the teacher would ask, her hand would shoot up and she'd probably answer in Irish too even if there was no need to. She'd be the one who managed to make her school uniform look like a nuns outfit. She'd eat a green apple at lunch while everyone else munched on tayto. If the teacher left the room she would be put in charge and she would grass on anyone that spoke.

Thought, like Gerry, she wasn't great at the old Irish...

Someone I know knew Eamon Gilmore when he was in secondary school and apparently he was a bit of a creep
