PIC: A powerful text explaining why this Irish student doesn’t believe in the school system

They make some strong points

They make some strong points.

The Leaving Cert is one of the most stressful years you’ll experience in your life because your immediate future following it is determined by your results.

We were contacted today by a young Irish person currently doing the Leaving and they attached a photo of a text message that they say sums up how they and some of their friends feel at the moment.

The message, which was written just after the recent mid-term break, is one of frustration towards the school environment.

The student who wrote the message is clearly very annoyed at their situation, but we’d like to point out that a lot of teachers really do care and try their best every day.

It’s an interesting insight into how some students see the school system though.
