We really don’t have a personalised school for everyone in the audience
I felt like I was in a New York deli trying to order a sandwich as I read the Department of Education’s new survey of parental preferences on school patronage. A voice in my head kept screaming, “I just want an education, for crying out loud!”
The Bill on school enrolment which Minister Quinn is bringing to Government sounds so sane. Banning long waiting lists, which militate against new-comers, as well as free passes into a school if your daddy or mammy is a former pupil is an issue of basic justice.
