the balance between exams & anxiety due to COVID outweighs a common sense approach to deal sensitively with an alternative assessment, thank you

My Son is Junior Cert this year and this will impact him not only in June but in his years ahead and when it comes to his LC also

I feel ur putting people at risk by sending them to do mocks and putting them under to much stress

i’m signing because we had 5 months off of school last year and we are now still trying to catch up on work. now that we have another lockdown with many more cases we are going to fall behind on work, as it is not the same learning online,therefore we should not have to sit the junior cycle

These students need to know what is facing them going forward in the next couple of months

My daughters mental health is in an extremely serious state and she needs a break to breathe and I know she's not alone.

Because I don't think there should be exams this year

My sons education has suffered as has most junior and senior cycle students. Just has become exempt from Irish for additional educational needs which he will not receive. He has no motivation as he thinks its too late for a game of catch up. Second year should be a very important year but didn't get to do very much.

I have missed so much time In and out of school and I’m really struggling in English/Irish/Maths and online school doesn’t help u learn and it’s very hard to focus in school w all the time I missed

Uncertainty for anyone is stressful, added that children have had to adjust to pod systems in some larger schools but not all schools really does not allow every student to enter an exam on a level playing field, decisions however difficult need to be made quickly.

We're almost a year in this shit show.... So much time to have had a contingency plan ready!

I think it is adding to students mental health all the uncertainty. The vaccine rollout is very slow so it is unlikely to be a safe environment to sit these exams.

My daughter is due to sit her junior certificate this summer, with the time the have already miss and the possibility of long term absence from school classroom learning, I feel it only fair to cancel these examinations as they have missed so much learning time and cba’s also. I feel for all concerned this matter should be addressed sooner rather than later and we should learn from the mistakes of last year.

I am signing because the Junior Cert need to change to assessment only. By putting the assessment over 2 to 3 years, it will help ALL children in the transition from primary to secondary to fulfill their needs, and not the few that are academically minded. It would help them achieve their goals, build their confidence, decrease their fear on failing exams. Change needs to happen now

Marian Nugent (Edenderry, 2021-01-09)

I believe its unfair to hold exams for student who have missed so much of the curriculum. The results would not be the same as they should be if they had been attending school full time.

The stress and anxiety this is causing my little girl is only short of barbaric

My daughter is in 3rd year 💗

I am a currently 3rd year and as we have missed most of 2nd year and now another few weeks possibly months due to covid we have fallen behind in the work. We have done online classes but they’re not the same we cannot teach our selves. I would like for the Junior Cycle to be cancelled and to be done by assessment grades.

I agree

Madeline Kennedy (Dublin, 2021-01-09)

Due to the disruptions in schools due to Covid 19, it’s unfair to ask students to sit an exam in the situation we are currently in!

Amy Moriarty (Dublin, 2021-01-09)

I feel as it is unfair as we have to do a entirely new course, and we aren’t even in school

My son is extremely stressed As he doesn’t know if his mocks or exams are going ahead

I feel there has been very little support for 3rd year students

Celine Murphy (Dublin, 2021-01-09)

i’m signing this petition because i agree with all the information above and i also thinks it’s unfair how we hear very little information about what’s going to going towards our final grade.

I strongly agree with the online learning. We were just completing the work that was assigned to us and we didn’t actually learn anything.

Students need clarification. They have missed out on so much.

My daughter is j.c. no way is she ready due to so much work missed

Sarah McCormack (Castlemaine, 2021-01-09)

#575

because i agree with the fact that fellow students and i have not had enough time during the school year to have been in school and been taught by the teachers , a lot of people struggle and doing online school and home and it is completely unfair to continue with the junior cert as normal , this has not been an normal year but giving the students more to worry about is not helping them or their mental health

My son is to sit his junior cert this year and he is so stressed out about not getting the help he needs from the government

Colette Jane Healy (Mullingar, 2021-01-09)

There is little to no clarity for JC students and it’s getting very stressful for most of us as of right now. None of us have a clue on what to do/study for while half of us are left with unfinished courses/topics and CBAS.

My child is for junior cert

As a parent I am concerned about my daughter sitting the Junior Cycle exams without being fully prepared due to Covid.
