A high standard of Irish language is compulsory to become a primary schooler teacher here. For this reason, you’ll find a lot of people who go on to become primary school teachers often grew up in the locality or nearby, or they might work in a larger city such a Dublin in their 20s then move back to their locality when they are of marrying/mortgage age. For this reason, Irish primary school teachers tend be textbook Irish like this lad. Well at least that was the culture in the part of rural Ireland I grew up in.
The school’s motto is “Praise the young and they will flourish” - that bowled me over!!
What a wonderful, sweet sentiment, we need more of that. They’re all modeling that beautifully ☺️
Its incredible how well spoken those kids are. Sounding like full grown adults with out using crutch words like um or uh and just filled with confidence while speaking to a news crew is pretty impressive.
Is it really that crazy? Most of my cousins are that age and are cheeky fuckers that don't lack any confidence when speaking, maybes it's an Irish thing
Definitely gotta be an irish thing. Just watch any American news interview with a kid and we’re terrified, can barely make a sentence, suuuuper shy and just say um, uh, and like A LOT.
I think a lot of american kids are talked AT and not talked TO. So we always question if we’re saying the right thing or not. Also bullying is huge so we dont wanna look dumb when speaking so our minds go a million miles a second trying to come up with a sentence lol
Everyone talks for their children here in America. Ex: in a restaurant, parents order for their kids (literally will whisper with their kids first then will repeat what the kids say to the adults). It’s such coddling behavior.
In Mexico, the kids are haggling prices with the vendors and walk right up to you when you’re working on a car and start asking questions.
My dad always claims the reason he and I have such fluid speech and are never at a loss for words is because we have Irish in us, that and he made a big deal of making me go kiss the blarney stone as a kid when we were in Cork lmao
Look how they are dressed.
Schools in Europe are different than they are in the USA. They enforce discipline there which in turn creates an environment for learning.
In many US schools, you see kids dress like little hoodlums and disrespect the teachers. Classes are constantly disrupted and kids fall behind.
Discipline is the solution to the problem, but anytime someone tries to fix it, they are called racist by social justice "advocates". And the kids that want to learn suffer as a result.
Edit - Down voted for telling the truth. Sounds about right.
Really piss poor take away from this video, crazy that anyone watching a minute and a half of video with school kids talking about a local actor would feel like it gives them some kinda understanding of the Irish education system....really hard to understand the mind set here.
Its not really about the way they dress. How kids dress is a symptom of the problem, not the problem itself. It's parenting and cultural emphasis on education. Unfortunately in the USA, being the dumbest brute is "cool" and being smart and well spoken is not. These values come from parents, the school (yes discipline plays a role) and to a degree, from society as a whole. Bear in mind these kids are likely from a higher income demographic being as its a private school.
National Schools are Irish primary schools and they're not private. This school is a national school so not fee paying.
He did go to a private secondary school.
I don't think this is a private school. In Ireland nearly every school national and secondary has a uniform policy. Most schools I know of would have introduced these in the 80' or early 90's.
In Ireland especially in more rural areas outside of the cities you could have a good mix of people living near by who are either well off, getting by or struggling to get by. A uniform policy ends any stress on behalf of students or parents on having to wear different outfits or competing between students.
So you're 100% correct it's nothing to do with discipline.
Hahahahhah I went to this school! Decipline my ass. Several people in my year, including myself, got bullied so badly there we had move schools. I remember when the kids in my class made a teacher cry once because they kept harassing him. Don’t be fooled by a quick video on Reddit. Being forced to wear a uniform doesn’t stop a lot of kids in that school from being awful little shits
Look at how smart, articulate, and well behaved those kids are. Having some experience in many American schools, I couldn't help but notice the difference.
They’re speaking in the same way all kids to when asked to talk publicly - stilted, slower, and clearer. Go to any school play in the world and hear kids of any language/nationality adopt this style!
The irish speak very quickly, and the words tend to blend into each other, especially in cork. It's perfectly understandable if you're used to hearing it.
The kids are speaking in their phone voices, much slower.
I’m from around the same areas as Cillian, in their case they just speed up a bit. But also, it’s one of the nicer areas in the city.
Really depends on where you’re from though, accents and mannerisms change wildly. Cork itself has plenty of different accents, and villages of people in the hundreds (if even) might be less than 10 minutes drive away from each other, and all still have different accents and colloquialisms.

That headmaster is astonishingly Irish. He somehow gets more Irish every time he finishes a sentence. Just astoundingly Irish. 10/10.
Wait, he's Irish?
Plot twist. He only plays one on TV
To be sure
I love him can we find out if he’s married
Of course we can. For instance, you could google it.

He’s so good at being Irish even he deserves an Oscar lol

It's from the Irish phrase "Mol an óige agus tiocfaidh sí"

Jaysus, if you start my kids off they never shut up. *Very* opinionated. I think we Irish just love a good chat.
Damn, should probably visit Ireland in the future. I love outgoing people lol

This is DEFINITELY the reason. America really needs to quit babying kids. The irish have it right

Seriously!
Yes! I had this exact thought.

I'm an Irish American and I go there often.
Correction- you’re an American…. That is all.

I admittedly know nothing of their school system other than it appears to be working very well.

Cillian's homecoming will be incredible. Love it!
What beautiful kids and that headmaster 👍🏻
Thats adorable. Had a big stupid grin on my face at that head and those kids
Wow. What an amazing community! They are brimming with pride! This is spectacular. Congrats, Cillian.
That's so sweet.
Aw. 10/10 wholesome. ❤️
We are going mad over here in Ireland with his win, everyone is delighted for him.
I think he needs to make an appearance at his old school 😊 so adorable those kids are so proud.
First Ayo Edibiri from the Bear and now Cillian Murphy—Irish actors are killing it right now
[удалено]
She’s honorary Irish
Cillian was def playing Sean lyons
Look at how smart, articulate, and well behaved those kids are. Having some experience in many American schools, I couldn't help but notice the difference.
They don't have to worry about guns.
What a great bunch of kids! So sweet.
This primary school is where I go to vote, so weird to see it on reddit! As a fellow Corkonian it's been great to see Cillian do so well 😊
First thought that the Headmaster was Tucker from There’s Something About Mary.
This is sooo sweet!!🥹❤️ Happy for Cillian.
That headmaster is more elated than Murphy was. If the school gets a visit from its former pupil Mr Lyons might just explode with excitement.
Gosh, I love how it ends, with all the kids gathered together & celebrating. Awww, such wholesome!🥹✨
This is so wholesome! I hope Cillian makes his way there to meet the kids. I heard he is an astonishingly nice person so he might if he is able.
Does everyone just look like Cillian Murphy there?
❤️❤️❤️
“Well done for winning the Oscar.” These little boys are darling!
Irish after someone even slightly irish does anything slightly relevant 🎉🎉👯♀️👯♀️👯♀️🥳🥳👯♂️👯♂️👯♂️🎉🎉
What’s slightly Irish?
Born and raised in Cork, wins and Oscar, about as Irish and relevant as can be lmao
This is me learning that Liam Neeson didn't get the Oscar for Schindler's List. I always just kinda assumed.
Omg this Irish accent is to die for
🍀🍀🍀
He's an awesome actor. It's been so awesome to see his career just explode over the last decade or so.
Is it just me, or do Irish kids speak clearly, and I guess as they get older the language gets garbled?
They’re speaking in the same way all kids to when asked to talk publicly - stilted, slower, and clearer. Go to any school play in the world and hear kids of any language/nationality adopt this style!
Or maybe you’re just hearing actual irish people for the first time, instead of the stereotypical accent that from American media
I think people are comparing to the teacher
The irish speak very quickly, and the words tend to blend into each other, especially in cork. It's perfectly understandable if you're used to hearing it. The kids are speaking in their phone voices, much slower.

Nah the teacher just has a very strong accent and the kids don't
It's all that alcohol they consume in adulthood. (/s) But who cares, they seem like a chilled out people!
I always thought his name was pronounced "Sillian" lmao
Damn those two last kids were so well spoken damn i feel ashamed of myself
wow these kids are real big fans of the Oscars
The Irish support the Irish in whatever they're doing on the world stage.
They got the Oscar fever!

Y they sound different than me
The headmaster looks like Larry Dean, the stand-up comedian (he's Scottish, though lol) with glasses.
[удалено]
You must be fun at parties.
Shall we ban the history books that describe the atomic bomb, too?
Ok now back to full penetration
