Group of Leaving Cert students call for exams to be cancelled | JOE.ieA group of students have put together a proposal calling for the Leaving Cert to be cancelled and replaced by 'expected grades'. Absolutely agree, it needs to be cancelled ASAP! Can empathise with them but it makes much more sense to push them back into July. It’s unfeasible to suggest teachers would be able to implement a fair “expected grade” system and its too important to leave it open to such bias. Yea let them all repeat 😂😂😂😂
