Reading some articles and the students are kinda stupid too... i know if i was giving the wrong paper i would say it straightaway instead of letting the supevisor figure out a minute later. Alot of info can be got in a minute.

I was on the radio yesterday and I sounded very D4, I was cringing listening to myself. Every sentence sounded like a question.

Best quote on there has to be ...
"confuses simple things a little but would always try and help. Has a weird habit of changing the subject when asked a question he doesnt know the answer to"

Or even
"# he has the rare ability to confuse things that were cemented in primary school! "

He was a Mathematical genius.
He taught me up to Junior Cert before I got another teacher in T.Y.

Very nice man. He must be losing it though. He's possibly the most hated man in Ireland at the moment.

you'd feel ****ing awful for ****ing up the whole leavin cert wouldn't you

Is it really necessary to go looking for pictures of the man? I certainly think giving instructions on how to find pictures is out of order.

Edit : Just saw you posted a picture of him. Honestly, why? I'd advise you to have some sense and delete that. Think of the poor man, everyone hating him right now. He certainly doesn't need everyone knowing what he looks like and making "hilarious" internet photoshops of him.

Second edit : Just saw the post was deleted, presumably by mods. Well don't I look foolish now?

feel sorry for him now, everyone makes mistakes. apparently the bags were colour coded every year until this year and he just presumed the green bag was paper one.

I feel sorry for him too

Where did you hear / read that?

You're all making me feel bad. I'm getting rid of that picture.

Ok, somebody already did. Thanks.

People make mistakes. Other people just have to get over it.

Seriously though...was naming him really necessary?

Yes students have a right to be angry, and yes it was quite a cock-up on his part...

But he's only bloody human!!!! Everyone makes mistakes.

The poor old man's going to be hounded because of this!!

I haven't been keeping up with this thread/the news. Where was he named?

The Independent named him.
He's an ex-teacher of mine.

Thanks conorstuff. Why did they have to name him? It genuinely pisses me off that they did that. Was it in today's paper?

KnifeWRENCH

From now on, there's to be no more posting pictures of this guy. There's no need for it whatsoever. If anyone posts a picture of him it will be deleted immediately.

I don't think so. It was posted to their website though.

Sorry, it was me who posted that picture. Somebody requested it. I didn't mean any harm by it and I definitely won't be posting any more.
I didn't think about anybody photoshopping it or whatever. That makes me feel kind of sick.

Can I just say that I think you're all being a teeny bit too sensitive. After tomorrow's paper life will move on. It's not like a rag-tag group of students will commandeer a pick up truck and hunt him down...

At most he'll get a bit of stick down the pub or something.

Found the article and have complained. I'm getting so old.

The reaction to this has conveyed everything I hate about the Leaving Cert and students' attitudes to it these days.

Focusing your study based on predictions, tips etc. is one thing, and though I disapprove of it, I wouldn't condemn it, but expecting to have this way of studying accommodated is really something that makes my blood boil.

If you're properly prepared, this shouldn't bother you much. If you took a risk and that paper was the only one you could have answered well on, well that's your own fault.

I can, however, sympathise with the rescheduling aspect of this fiasco. Why there isn't a system in place to enable the distrbution of an alternative paper within a few hours is beyond me.

Damn Independent. Which school in Dundalk did he teach in?

Peep O'Day

ye people here lambasting this poor man are an absolute disgrace and i bet the most of ye were not even half prepared for english in the first place and are going to use this man as a scapegoat for your poor efforts.
typical, someone else always is to blame for self-failings....:rolleyes:

This man made a mistake that the whole country is talking about. It seriously affects all leaving cert students. It affects teachers and superintendents supernintendos. The government has had to sort stuff with Dublin Bus to ensure students can get to their exam on Saturday. His mistake is reportedly costing one million euro of taxpayers money.

All I'm saying is that I feel bad if I'm five minutes late when meeting someone. So I can only imagine how he's feeling.
