I'd be entitled to my size furniture, so no worries there

some would say yes because the two tier education system gives people a unfair advantage

They should put this on their website to clarify their policy!

which if that is the case, shows the flaws in the sexual education system in this godforsaken country. It should be a once a month hour from 4th class up!

Clongowes is a private fee paying school not funded by the state
St Josephs in Borrisilleagh is??


Why would you use this as an example?

Is Clongowes a boys only fee paying private school perhaps?

You know people are arguing crud when they have to resort to disingenuous, obtuse muck.

I don't think she had been in two schools before ours. What I'm more interested in is your idea that my school should have highlighted her personal crisis - making her the "freak" when she didn't need to be, it wasn't obvious she was pregnant. The stress of going into a new school very late when other friendship groups have formed is stressful, nevermind being pregnant, and on top of that you advocate that they tell all the hundreds of students about her personal crisis and hold her up as an example of how not to live your life. I think you're looking at causing a serious threat to her and her babies health/life by doing that. Jesus Christ. We got more than adequate sex ed. without the need for that.

Well they might say that because you're too big for the furniture they will not accept you. If they don't have a specific admissions policy, or a BOM, and only have one man who gets to make the decision, he can say it's because he worships Joseph, and therefore does not agree with having to cause his fellow carpenters any more work making bigger wooden furniture for you.

But it's not discrimination, you should just apply to another school and forget all about it.

Who said anything about a freak show?--->laundry brigade that way


She wanted to go to a new school. That is the point of this.

Just to clarify, she could afford to go to this school and was accepted. She was only turned down afterwards because she was pregnant.

Of course teenagers will see anyone who is deemed to have done something so bad that teachers publicly denounce it as a freak and this is undoubtedly how the girl would feel. Anybody would feel a freak after that and the stress to a young pregnant girl could genuinely and realistically damager her and her babies health/life. I think that the laundry brigate might be a more apt club for you to join if you feel that it's still acceptable to take individual peoples personal life to make moral points. I think it's more progressive not to.

im so drained from having to reply to moronic posts that id welcome the thread to be closed at this stage. frightening to think there is such bigoted small minded people out there.

its a wonder we dont see more babies left on doorsteps if this is the general attitude towards teenage girls who find themselves pregnant in this country.

Hugely hugely alarming

Agreed.

Bang!

Sorry lads/lasses, had to be done. But don't worry, I'm sure there'll be another single/young mother thread along soon enough. The foxholes won't have been dug in vain.
