You’ll need 630 points to do PE teaching this year

Is that a lot?

Nobody has got 630 points. EVER

He was doing a funny

It’s possible in UL if you do honours maths

There was a different system in my day.

Did you get the 20 points?

Couldn’t tell you.

Why not?

because I can’t remember. I know that I got 43 points on the UL system. I got a B and 4 C’s and 2 D’s all in Honours.

That was back when a B was hard fought for

A good haul in the days before they dumbed it down.

Not bad considering I hadn’t a clue how to study in those days. It was really a three / four week effort/memory trick. I got a D in the maths. Our maths teacher was useless, I remember her trying to teach us the parabola from scratch a week before the Leaving. it came up of course. I got a B in English. I remember my biro ran out and I had to write the exam with my red biro.

Sure you were at nothing with a female maths teacher. Most of them just don’t get it.

She was out on maternity for most of the five years.

The Inter Cert was where it was at. 9 subjects. No messing around.

Home economics knitting. The girls would knit a jumper for themselves and the boys project was to knit an Action Man jumper.

That must have been a HUGE child
