Don't Stop The Leavin' - Calculated Grades in Court

In this week’s episode of Legally Fond, the team discuss the recent High Court challenge to the Leaving Certificate system of calculated grades by Belvedere student Freddie Sherry. Pierce, Gavin and Alex discuss Mr Justice Meenan’s decision in the case and what ramifications it will have for some sixty other similar challenges already lodged to the courts. What is the significance of school historical data and why did the Department of Education revise its policy on the matter? Was Norma Foley’s decision ‘arbitrary, unfair, unreasonable, irrational or unlawful’? Was Freddie Sherry or his school treated unfairly and if so, does it even matter if the policy benefits the student population at large? Find out in this episode.
