Sean Moncrieff (SeanMoncrieff): ❝ The problem isn’t the Leaving; it’s the world. The job-for-life model, the very idea of a career is disintegrating
They say – whoever they are – that the Leaving Cert is the most difficult exam anyone goes through. Not just because of the sheer volume of information that has to be regurgitated, but because of its life-defining, once-off nature. Get the Leaving wrong and you’re screwed for life.
Daughter#2 is this year’s victim, and while it is difficult and daunting, she and her peers seem well aware of the goods-in/goods-out aspects of the exam. The Leaving Cert is transactional. She ingests a vast dollop of information that she can forget by the end of June, and in return for performing well at this task, she gets the chance to go to another place of learning where she can learn even more information which will become the basis for her life-long career.
