  7. @davidmccormack But we have 2-3 different levels too - in addition to 2 papers per exam! Applied LC, vocational LC, traditional LC... 5:37 PM Nov 25th from Seesmic in reply to davidmccormack
  8. @davidmccormack In Ireland ? But not in most other countries ? Ireland seems to be almost the only country with two papers per subject ? 7:22 PM Nov 24th from Seesmic in reply to davidmccormack
  9. @davidmccormack do we need it ? Does it really help - the CAO points system for example ? 1:32 PM Nov 24th from Seesmic in reply to davidmccormack
  10. @akohli yep. agreed. 1:29 PM Nov 24th from Seesmic in reply to akohli
  11. @sdempsey Interesting, thanks Shane. 1:28 PM Nov 24th from Seesmic in reply to sdempsey
  12. @darachennis Agree. But is the leaving cert structure unnecessarily complex ? 1:23 PM Nov 24th from Seesmic in reply to darachennis
  13. @akohli But we already have not only traditional Leaving Cert, but also Leaving Cert Vocational Programme and Leaving Cert Applied ? 1:14 PM Nov 24th from Seesmic in reply to akohli
  14. @thejetset Never waste a good (economic) crisis :-) 1:12 PM Nov 24th from Seesmic in reply to thejetset
  15. @sdempsey Shane, thanks, that helps set the historical context, much appreciated! 1:12 PM Nov 24th from Seesmic in reply to sdempsey
  16. @jkeyes Is that really the sole reason ? Jobs for the profession ? Maybe you're right, but I'm hoping there's a better reason... :-) 12:31 PM Nov 24th from Seesmic in reply to jkeyes
  17. @thejetset Sorry! I don't make it either, but wonder if it needs changing. Right now, I don't see justification for a 2-tier structure. 12:22 PM Nov 24th from Seesmic in reply to thejetset
  18. @thejetset But an A is more difficult than a B which is more difficult than a C which is harder than a D which is tougher than an E.. ?? 12:15 PM Nov 24th from Seesmic in reply to thejetset
  19. Why does Ireland have "pass" & "honours" leaving cert papers? Why not just a paper per subject - like other countries ? Anyone explain ?? 12:08 PM Nov 24th from Seesmic
  20. @ghartnett @stevegoz Thanks guys, have one already... 9:44 AM Nov 24th from Seesmic in reply to ghartnett
