My eldest is 12 today, she was born while the Frank and Walters were playing on Radio 1 that we were listening to in the room (after all) which we took as a very good sign. 12 feels like a big one.

Which is closer to your gaffe? Do you know any parents or teachers in either? Personally, all things being equal Iād go with educate Together because you might have younger more driven teachers but Iād imagine the local school is just fine. What town?
Also, theyāre raising long haired sensitive gays in the CBS now tooā¦
They mentioned Sudbury schools on Newstalk this morning where students can choose what they want to learn. Shane Coleman was an advocate of course.
i live in the middle of nowhere between North Kildare and South Meath
Is there a big trench or something? A kind of no manās land?
I like the Educate Together ethos, but if you want the children to do first holy communion, you may have to bring them to a parish sacramental preparation programme every week after school and pay at least ā¬5 for the privilege of it. Some ET schools can do it in-house, depends which diocese you are resident in. ET has a very good ethical and religious education programme, the children learn about and celebrate all the major faiths.
Thereās a lot of parental involvement in the ET model as well, but what I remember from my time working there was the row at Christmas. The pagans complaining about the absence of a Christmas tree then the Jehovahās Witness parents horrified that it was a massive pagan symbol when I put up a small one in new room.
Think long- term as well, there are still some voluntary secondary schools that donāt take in ET children and there has been no debate about this school places issue at all. The fact that the one school that we wanted our son to go to had never taken in a child from an ETNS was the single thing that finally made up our minds.
Apply to all the local schools and keep your options openā¦
