The 6th Year U-Turn

In this episode we discuss the proposed return to school of 6th year students and their teachers during the height of this latest wave of Covid-19 and its subsequent reversal.

Derek Hobbs. A Business and LCVP teacher

Evelyn Lee. An English, History and Special Education Teacher

Tiernan Lee-Flynn. A 6th year Student

Christopher Davey. A Physics and Science Teacher

Mark Walshe. A Computer Science and MFL teacher.

As always the guests present their own personal views and not those of whatever trade union they may be a part of or indeed their school.
