There’s nearly always (always!) an opportunity to be a little kinder than you have to be.

This is definitely one to share with the fifth and sixth years. Lots of food for thought.
A lot of discussion lately about the reasons for the decline of Eng Lit A-level.
Are the Gove curriculum & exam reforms to blame?
I don't think so, because the decline of Eng Lit / the humanities more broadly is a global trend.

The fall of Eng Lit
What is the cause, is it a problem - and if so, what can we do about it?

Following a recent article about the Leaving Certificate, worth restating that -
👉spreading assessment will increase, not mitigate, stress.
👉None of the proposals are for 'continuous assessment'.
👉English Leaving Cert is not a test of rote learning.

In almost 40 years of teaching, I have yet to find a teacher who prepares Leaving Cert students by ‘rote learning’
There are grounds to criticise the English exam, but it can only be successfully tackled with critical thinking

I would politely suggest that officialdom in Irish Education (particularly the support services!) migrate their material and updates from X to here. It is so unfair that teachers are forced to engage with that platform in an effort to be informed. #edchatie
