Im signing on behalf of our daughters and their friends and the hole 3rd year. Cancellation of the up coming junior cycle is a must and giving them a fair chance of achieving their goals by what last years juniors received, who missed out on less than what the juniors have missed out currently.Gillian O Brien Murray (Dublin, 2021-01-08)

I’m signing because I am a junior cycle student who feels it unfair for the exam to go ahead in June as students are underprepared and under much stress due to the pandemicYasmin Rasheed (Drogheda, 2021-01-08)

I’m signing here because now that we are in another lockdown I will find it much harder to learn, and with all the time we missed in school last year we are still behind with all our work and wont have enough time to catch up. It is stressful enough studying for exams that I don’t know if I’ll have or not. I think that we should have predicted grades for this year’s junior cert.Eimear Kelly (Dublin, 2021-01-08)

These past two years have been really hard and I don’t think I am physically or mentally prepared for the Jc this year.Alannah Cole (Dublin, 2021-01-08)

since 2nd year i have really struggled to learn and keep up but it’s just too difficult. i’ve already gone a level lower in maths and my results have dropped from 80s to 40s in various subjects. i am not mentally available to sit the mocks let alone the junior cert. please cancel it and relieve the pressureemma scanlan (dublin, 2021-01-08)

Third year exams may not go ahead but it is very likely that the now second years will. This would be unfair because we have lost the same amount of time and it is ridiculous to expect us to catch up in time.Aoife McCann (Drogheda, 2021-01-08)

I am a 3rd year student and totally agree that we are at a disadvantage. How can we have normal JC when all schools have different sections of the curriculum covered.Adam bolger (co.limerick, 2021-01-09)

I fully agree with this. It is so very unfair to expect these children to sit these exams. They have missed so much school and teaching over the last 10 months. Let these children and their families know sooner rather than later what is going to happen. Don't leave it to the last minute as usual, decide SOON.Veronica Larkin (Dublin, 2021-01-09)

My daughter is to sit her junior cert this year and the stress and anxiety it is causing her not knowing what is going on is hard for me as a parent to watch . In reality kids lost alot more time as before if they had cough bit of a sore throat you would give them medication and send them in now we must keep kids out to be safe. It is unfair to expect these kids who have had there whole worlds thrown upside down and stress from the worry that we even as adults are experiencing to be able to sit exams when they realistically have not covered the work and feel comfortable in it. It would be like giving someone 7 driving lessons and go out there and take the test!!! I hope the minister makes a decision shortly and does not leave these kids to worry and suffer longer thank youLillian Abbott (Offaly, 2021-01-09)

These students need to be acknowledged a d considered as well given their upcoming state exams and these years are the foundation blocks for their Leaving Cert. A fair and equitable system approach with decisive action needs to be afforded to themYolanda Meacle (Cork, 2021-01-09)
