Madam, - Why all the fuss? The Leaving Cert is a rite of passage. If you know enough to be able to write for six hours, a sore hand is something to be proud of. I survived it and so did my friends. The Labour Party calls it "wanton cruelty" ( The Irish Times, June 7th). Maybe we should look at www.amnesty.ie to see real cruelty in action. - Yours, etc,
