Think it's somewhere on the map but can't remember. 2. Is anybody else's Boards running really slow ie pages taking ages to load?

Say someone who failed Irish or Maths last year and just needed to pass thst exam this summer. It's really hard to ask them to wait another year for a second stab at it.

I think it's what caused a lot of confusion when they went on to say that schools wouldn't be open until September. There was a thread or announcement about boards running slowly. It was doing the same for everyone. Mine is back to normal since earlier this evening.

Have a feeling the nightmare scenarios for teachers will come to pass We are going to fall between the two stools Predictive grades And Exams in August for those who want and I assume class in July. Certainly would solve a lot of socially distancing problems for the sec and principals

Think its using 5th year Xmas and Summer grade, Mocks in 6th year with some mention of project work, I didn't hear it all. Of course it wouldn't suit those just repeating one or two subjects. I've an adult repeating Irish for Primary teaching, many years out of school. Her only option would be to wait until next year, unless there was also the option of sitting a Leaving Cert exam.

On the subject of "predictive grades", why don't we decide this year's Champions' League by looking at some pre-season results, i.e. retrospectively change the purpose of a previously held competition.
