A bit earlier Joe says 'Do you go to Mass every week?'

Then she says 'Well, not religiously' :pac:

sudzs · 13-03-2012 01:56PM

If you want your child to be indoctrinated into some religion or other, then do it yourself, why expect a school to do it for you??? Sounds like a good school, don't understand why she isn't happy about the great school she's being offered. Why can't she find a catholic school if it's so important to her

when she says a "catholic" school, does she really mean a white school?

I think we're on the same page on this one!

Surely the most important thing is what school is best for your childs education and not what is best for their religion? Silly woman, she sounds like a bigot.

Skid · 13-03-2012 01:58PM

So much time wasted on Religion and Irish in our Schools. It's no wonder kids don't have basic Grammar and Maths skill going into Secondary.

AngryBollix · 13-03-2012 01:58PM

I only collected a place on the first race Joe.

Disgrace Joe

vicwatson · 13-03-2012 01:59PM

Your wan doesn't even know why she wants to send her child to a catholic school, but she does. But she doesn't know why. WTF like?

Technocentral · 13-03-2012 01:59PM

I could be wrong but isn't that small minded catholic outlook pretty much a minority view now?

Hopefully, but you'd be surprised

rasper · 13-03-2012 02:02PM

The last place I'd ever send my child is one that is dominated by men In dresses

Zwillinge · 13-03-2012 02:02PM

So she turned down a school spot without the guarantee of another one, eek!

sudzs · 13-03-2012 02:02PM

"Lee is in Dublin 24.. wherever that is?? "

Jaysus Joe, those are massive Clontarf blinkers you have on there!!!

europa11 · 13-03-2012 02:02PM

The sooner all religion is taken out of schools the better.

"catholic ethos" .....:eek:...we all know what that led to, why this woman or anyone would want to put their child through it is beyond me.

ButtersSuki · 13-03-2012 02:02PM

Joe: Dublin 24, wherever that is?

Caller: it's Tallaght Joe.

Did we ever get a better illustration of how far Joe has removed himself from the great unwashed of the general public?!

Not on Planet Joe it isn't.

"Significant majority want a Catholic ethos education" my arse!

Technocentral · 13-03-2012 02:03PM

That so called 90% catholic Ireland thing is nonsense, most people write it on census out of habit, for instance church attendance in lots of working class areas is around 7%.

vicwatson · 13-03-2012 02:03PM

Ah policy smolicy :rolleyes:

I thought most of the Gealscoils in Dublin were shacks?

sudzs · 13-03-2012 02:04PM

"...and then the child is six starting school"

That's actually a good thing.

surferdudz · 13-03-2012 02:06PM

yer wan wants her child to go to the local school where they wear a uniform , and get their sacrements ... to make life easier for HER.

I 'd choose the same myself if I was honest...I would not like to have to hold my child back til she is 6 to START school..

ButtersSuki · 13-03-2012 02:06PM

Newcomer children......new line for the Bingo!

They said it on the frontline last night - mind you it was only said once and then everyone kept quoting it - that this figure of 90% is a 2006 figure from the census, the 2011 figures wont be out for donkeys years apparently

It's good IF the child has been going to a proper play school...

sudzs · 13-03-2012 02:06PM

"they're not catholics, even..." :eek:
