Good to see investment in MFL, but the only longterm way to improve shortage is to make teaching attractive again. Better pay, respect for teachers' opinions in reform & a competitive campaign to draw talent into teaching would help #edchatie #mflire irishtimes.com/news/education…

#edchatie What is happening is just not solely an Irish problem. Trust me it is far worse in the States.

Does anyone know what the constant need to reform and change is driven by? We are constantly being told to do the same things in a different way but no one quite knows what different way they mean yet #edchatie

#edchatie Student data is treated very lax by a lot of teachers. Passwords passed around like flagons under a bridge in some cases.... :-)

@riomhaireschool #edchatie Times have changed and education needs to change with them. We demand accountability and professionalism of other services. We can't say that Education should be exempt.

Claire secondary school teacher Dublin #edchatie the Maths teacher and optimist in me definitely thinks it isn't becoming impossible. It's getting more challenging in terms of paperwork, legislation etc..but I think that we are all moving towards more litigious society in general
