You can't spell failure without FAI
No, but they might nail your offspring to a tree.

I would guess this is why the minority religious run schools have not objected to the Cathloic run primary schools.JMB general secretary Ferdia Kelly said the removal of grants and the changes in teacher allocations in minority faith schools “will either mean a reduction in the quality of education offered, or an increase in fees paid by parents”.
Because of their dispersed populations, minority faith schools had historically been treated differently to Catholic schools. After free education was introduced, they were allowed to benefit from grants given in the free education sector while still charging fees.
However, the budget changes effectively removed these schools from the free education scheme, Mr Kelly said. He cited the removal of grants, including those for caretakers and secretaries, that are payable to schools in the free education scheme and the introduction of a higher pupil-teacher ratio for the purposes of allocating teachers.
Funding a school yourself is a choice available only to the wealthy. I'm too much of a socialist to believe in that type of politics.
I think that's a good point. It's easier and easier to find out about other systems of belief thanks to the internet, the influence of other cultures on our own, and through the media. If you are really interested, it's not that hard to find information. Rather than indoctrinating children in one religion schools should have religious education that looks at all the major faith, their histories, their teachings, and their influence on culture throughout history. If you decide you are a committed Catholic there's more than enough ways to find out about Catholicism and practise it without it taking up everyone elses valuable lesson time.
Saw the film "Song for a Raggy Boy" with Aidan Quinn on RTE last night.
That's a good advert for mixing religion with state education. Not!!!
Will we ever learn???

Shocking revelations coming out at the moment!!!
Good film but the content was horrible. It was certainly an Irish version of a gulag, juvenile jail or a concentration camp. The punishments meted out in the film described could be best described as barbaric. The Christian Brothers in the film lacked total humanity and were very closed minded people. The lay-teacher at least showed compassion. After watching the film, I did not have a good night's sleep after watching some of the most evil behaviour perpetrated on kids. The behaviour on the film is a total affront to the teachings of Jesus Christ, who called us to love one another as we would liked to be loved. The line, suffer little children who come into thee is over appropriate as these children suffered and were unloved, it meant a huge amount to even get a christmas present. If Jesus Christ saw this film, he would weep for the children that were abused at the hands of people proclaiming the message of God. This was a major crime against humanity, we have to accept that as a nation and make sure evil deeds like in the film never happen again. Jesus wept.
