Madam, - I agree totally with Jack Ó Lógáin's opinion (March 21st) of the powerful position of the grind school in Irish education. Being under the yoke of the Leaving Certificate curriculum myself, we do not want to hear how a full-time grind school student obtained 600 points.
Should The Irish Times not have endeavoured to locate a student who had "faced the might of the tempest", obtaining full marks from a public school background?
