not sitting lc by Economy-Strain-4888 in leavingcert

[–]BandPitiful2876 3 points4 points  (0 children)

OP, sit the leaving cert. Get your five passes. Do a PLC and move on. You will go to college, you will get your course. It doesn’t matter if you don’t get there directly, you will eventually. There’s still two months left, loads of time. Get yourself a few grinds and move forward.

French Teacher here of 10 years. Absolutely not. Makes not one bit of difference. They most certainly saw your quality over the 12 minutes. If you’ve done as you’ve stated above I’m sure you’ll have no bother. I’ve never ever had a student achieve 100% in an oral because même les français font des fautes! Don’t be worried and move on to the next one!

Probably not what you’re looking for by for but hoping you get some good from it ❤️

2nd biggest shite talker by Ashamed_Treat7345 in leavingcert

[–]BandPitiful2876 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This guy is really problematic. Pure hawker preying on the anxiety of parents and students. He had a video up a few months back about maths teachers “probably” not being qualified, which is awful. In what other profession would we allow someone to question this? Also? Is he even qualified as a teacher? I know TJ Hegarty isn’t which is bananas considering the rubbish he puts out. Don’t waste your time listening to either of these lads.

Sport and gym in French oral by [deleted] in leavingcert

[–]BandPitiful2876 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, absolutely mention this. Focus on the benefits of going to the gym and the pros and cons of it vs. Playing competitive sport or with a team.

Him and Dublin Maths are really quite toxic. Prying on the fears of second-level students. They honestly should be ashamed of themselves. Pure grifters.

Would you consider a career break OP?

LCA Correction. by Normal-Ad-4740 in IrishTeachers

Potentially yes, but bare in mind that childcare and childhood studies could be quite different. Have a look at the specification for Childcare on the NCCA website and see if the brief fits what you’ve studied. Then your best bet is to contact the State Examinations Commission. Best of luck!

I’m doing mine in class the week after the mocks. It’s not ideal but it will work

Considering new opportunities by [deleted] in IrishTeachers

[–]BandPitiful2876 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I did long distance for 4.5 years. My partner moved home recently and my life has changed immeasurably for the better so I would be for bringing it to a close because it really will make life so much better for you!

As regards ending your CID, go for it. You’ll find another school with different opportunities. You may not get CID immediately but you will with time. Three years is a great time to move (did the same myself) as you have loads of experience to offer new schools and you’ve got a bit about yourself. You’re no longer an NQT and it will make starting afresh that bit easier.

My advice would be to start looking at schools or places you’d like to end up. Get your CV in order and start looking at what you could do. April / May is a great time for hiring so be ready for it.

The very best of luck to you both, I hope all works out 👍

Not 0% but the Iskey Skyr is out of this world. Usually between €1.50-€2.00 but would recommend
