Lawyers have reported a surge in queries from parents and teaching staff in fee-charging and grind schools who feel they lost out under the new calculated grades process.
Many believe the decision to drop “school profiling” – a controversial measure which took into account a school’s past performance in the Leaving Cert – from the calculated grades process ended up penalising high-achieving schools.
Minister for Education Norma Foley, however, has said that the calculated grades process has been “blind” to socio-economic status of schools and that all students were treated fairly and equitably.
One legal source, who declined to be named, said parents and teachers from fee-paying schools in particular were surprised at the relatively low proportion of top grades in many cases at a time when there was significant grade inflation in results nationally.

STC can chip in the Doctor -vs- Plumber joke, I guess...

A doctor has some trouble with the sink, on a public holiday. He calls the local plumber, only to be told it's his day off ...
"But I get called out on my days off, too!" says the doctor, somewhat exasperated, and the plumber relents.
The plumber arrives, and glances over the sink, looking preoccupied. He mumbles something about golf, then hands the doctor a couple of aspirin and walks out, saying,
"Put these in. If it doesn't clear up in 24 hours, come and see me tomorrow."

I was thinking more of this one:
A pipe burst in a doctor’s house. He called a plumber. The plumber arrived, unpacked his tools, did mysterious plumber-type things for a while, and handed the doctor a bill for €400.
The doctor exclaimed, “This is ridiculous! I don’t even make that much as a doctor!”
The plumber waited for him to finish and quietly said, “Neither did I when I was a doctor.”
