CAO is killing real learning. Points obsession fuels grinds, stress and inequality. Time for third level to stop hiding behind it and own their admissions. #edchatie @TUIunion @astiunion @Education_Ire

An excellent piece on how the CAO undermines education at 2nd level.

We need more conversations about this. It's something the general public aren't fully aware of, how it dominates and pollutes the education system.
This piece by Nathan Barrett @irishexaminer is worth a read. I have highlighted the constant promotion of certain grind schools in @IrishTimesEdu_ articles during the State exams. These are essentially ads for @IOE_Dublin et al & should be flagged as #ad #edchatie

No less than 32 direct references or articles that mention certain Dublin based 'grind schools' over the last 6 months on @IrishTimes website. How can recognised schools get access to this level of publicity? @IrishTimesEdu_ @carlobrien #edchatie irishtimes.com/ireland/educat…
Indeed!
Well, grinds certainly seem to be really worth it for The Irish Times, Carl, what with its endless plugging of The Institute for Education and other grind providers such as Studyclix, TheTuitionCentre, Grinds 360, FrenchNotes and Breakthrough Maths. #edchatie
The CAO system needs to change … it’s fuelling a type of education that isn’t in the best interests of the child or indeed society. The best schools nurture children, develop their passions and let them grow and develop in a safe space. Schools shouldn’t be about outputs, profit…
