“In other words, they can be opened at a lower level and I know myself, spending years within classrooms, **that teachers and staff within school communities know exactly how to operate the opening and closing of windows.**”
This just means fuck off and shut up
She’s as useful as a chocolate spoon
And the heating on full blast in her office…get ta fuck
Low-budget Enya.
I read somewhere that it’s law that the working environment has to be 17.5C , so teachers are really in a shit position
School rooms where I am are like 6c.. kids can’t even write their hands are that cold
coming from a student, the classrooms are unbearably cold. my school is usually strict on non-school jackets and wearing gloves however they now encourage us to bring in our coats and gloves. another issue is seating plans, in an effort to keep everyone warm, teachers move students away from the windows and into smaller, closer groups at the front of the classroom. alongside this, half of my school is absent due to covid, teachers and students, which has caused a teacher shortage that led to 1st and TYs being absent on certain days so exam years can be prioritised. it’s a joke honestly.
If it’s raining the pupils that sit near the windows can put up their umbrellas. We will add umbrella opening to the syllabus in 2023 to make sure this plan works flawlessly.
Turn the window down to 4 there like a good lad.
This is staggeringly stupid.
Making Joe McHugh look competent with every asinine utterance.
Waterford Whispers on the money as usual.
Oh, wait….
This is your reminder that Norma has previously advocated for cancelling 5G rollout. She’s in no position to come with any smartarse comments about windows.
I’d actually pay proper amounts of money to hear a reporter tell her the windows need to be closed to keep the 5Gs out.
“Principal, the second class students need ventilation.”
“OK then, open the windows in senior infants”
She’s a dose why do people in Kerry vote for her?
Windows need to be opened fully or the Co2 monitors go red. Happens every time I go into a classroom and windows are on the latch. Have to be wide open and door open to keep the dreaded Co2 monitors at bay. She clearly hasn’t been in a classroom since becoming minister
How is this wagon in a job of such importance.
Separate note, this lady has the most irritating dress sense Ive ever witnessed.
Wasn’t she the TD who was against 5G, because of the “radiation”. How she got (and kept) the job of minister of education is a perfect example of ministers being appointed based on how much of an ass kisser they are.
She’s absolute scum.
When I was in secondary school the classrooms were so cold. I would wear layers of long sleeves under my uniform and two or three pairs of tights at once and it was still cold.
The teachers knew that the school is freezing, many of them were teaching in their coats and jackets and would have those little heaters next to their desks. But if a student wanted to wear a coat that was part of our uniform we would be asked to take it of
. They would tell us we just need to water more layers. I showed one woman I had a 3 long sleeves under my shirt and jumper and I was still shaking. She just told me “well, that’s because you’re country is hot. You just need to get used to Irish weather. Do yourself a favour and take of your coat. You will thank me in the future”
I’m from Poland. Even during winter when the temperature falls double digits below zero the classrooms were never this cold. It’s not impossible to keep a school warm
Does this woman know anything?
Where did she come from, does anyone know of her before this govt role?
Like… is she a realistic robot..?
Who the fuck does she think she is id love to put her in a class room for 8 hours a day with the windows open and see if closing them a little bit is the solution.
Is this is the strategy for the €72M funding for ventilation, the Irish taxpayer should be looking for a full refund
“The horse has bolted Norma!”
Norma: “Close the gates a small bit then”.
She looks like something from cartoon network from 1999 to 2006
Norma is like a parody character at this stage.
Id love to hear what principals and teachers really think of her.
Fucking joke. What’s worse is that the principal of the Sacred Heart Girls school in Tullamore Co. Offaly is still refusing to allow students to wear coats or jackets in the classroom.
If you’re homeless, buy a house!
My kid has sensory problems. She cannot layer like an onion. Even though the school allowed the kids to take their own jackets and she still uses thermal shirt and leggings, she still suffers a lot from the cold at school. This is ridiculous.
In my school they’ve separated all the year groups so us 6th years ended up down in the prefabs (which I’m guessing have been up since before 2001) to keep to isolated from other year groups to what I’m assuming is to prioritise our safety of exposure to Covid. Most the windows don’t open so we have to keep the doors wide open (which leads directly to outside so we get the brunt of cold weather). People bring in heavy coats and blankets and we are still cold. It’s Hard to concentrate or write. We have wheelie radiators that only bring a puff of warmth to whoever is stealing it for that class. The toilets we have are pretty bad. The boys are worse from what I know – the damp causes mould and mushrooms to grow in there. One of our classrooms also has mould (not a huge amount and we have masks on all the time so ig it would effect us too badly)
I don’t blame our school too much for our situation, they don’t have much other options. But at this point I rather be online to save me missing days from cold or flu because of the cold. There is only 25-30 of us in my 6th year group and we are lucky if 10-15 people show up. I’m slowly starting I give up. I use to love school but this situation is making things harder for me mentally. My grades are okay as of now. during Xmas break I was really getting down about coming back to school. I just think it’s unfair for the 6th years that have situations like these who are going to be brutally effected unlike schools who have more room and resources to accommodate everyone.
Ah Jaysus, So only the ordinary level students are allowed to open the windows
