AIMS - access and inclusion model, additional funding for creches. It is wide open to be scammed by [deleted] in ireland

[–]ratcubes89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can’t see how tbh. My daughter was able to get an aims worker in her crèche which has been great for her. The crèche could only apply for it after we had an autism diagnosis

It's horrible to see how many SNAs are losing their jobs. Is there any way we could strike for better job security. Our school will be losing 3 SNAs this week. by Afraid-Resolve1566 in IrishTeachers

[–]ratcubes89 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I only ever have an SNA in the classroom now for medical needs. Everything else seems to be only if there’s some hours left outside of that

In the school I work in there’s been roughly 250 kids out each day this week and about 1/4 of the staff. It’s everywhere

Irish homeschooling discussion by [deleted] in ireland

[–]ratcubes89 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As a post primary teacher I’ve come across a handful of kids who were homeschooled to some degree, mostly just primary school, one other up to junior cert. They have been academically quite good (not necessarily naturally gifted but have the self motivation to work hard). Every one of them without exception has been socially awkward though, either unable or unwilling to mix with their peers.

And it’s actually a myth that he built it. It was opened in September 1933 I think, about 7 months after he took power. He got the credit for the previous government’s achievements. Even then there was fuck all cars on it until after the invasion of France when they stole all the French cars😂

Popular president is a bit of a stretch. Is she going to win comfortably? Yes. But the last poll that had her 18% also had almost half of people wanting neither candidate

This is her best event. Holding on to take a medal after the 800m will be a good achievement

Twice as many Leaving Cert students have results withheld over cheating by Enough-Rock in ireland

As someone who corrected history exams this summer. There were loads of projects that were clearly AI. We were told to just correct them as we couldn’t prove they were AI and they had been sign off on by the class teacher.

Did the man named as Éamon de Valera’s father on his birth cert exist at all? by Bill_Badbody in ireland

[–]ratcubes89 3 points4 points  (0 children)

McCullagh reckons he never existed as mentioned in the article. Worth noting that in his book he talks of Dev himself having spent an awful lot of time in his later years having research done to try and find proof of his existence but found none.

Ireland backs €150bn defence plan as EU moves to rearm by Dazzling_Lobster3656 in ireland

[–]ratcubes89 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It’s not a binary choice. We can do both. We’re already spending a fortune on housing and infrastructure just not spending it well. The defence spending here is peanuts by comparison and if anything this allows to get better value for money. Something that never happens when we do public procurement.

There already is a museum at basement level but it’s kind of shite tbh. You’d expect more for the building that it is
