Hanafin gets no marks for timetable that only tests students’ nerves

(AN open letter from a Leaving Cert pupil to Mary Hanafin, Minister for Education).

Dear Minister, I fully respect the fact that the Laving Cert had to be changed but, in all fairness, it’s now a bit ridiculous.

Every chemistry student is probably cursing you because you have just given us all a much bigger test to live up to. After this year, I don’t expect many students will take up chemistry. What were you thinking?
