Schools campaigners dismayed by editorial
There is no doubt that the unification of all schools parents and teachers alike is a powerful tool when it comes to the rights of our children's education.
A few parents and teachers with very little funding, very little time, but with a copious amount of energy have got together and gathered facts, school by school, county by county, in order to achieve what TLC is all about: securing immediate and adequate funding for our primary schools.
Seven-hundred beleaguered schools felt the need to show unity with each other. TLC felt the nicest way to do that would be to bring the children on a very enjoyable nature walk.
We were amazed that the Irish Examiner should express such an ill-informed view of our intentions.
We would have appreciated an open discussion with your leader writer before he or she knocked such a wonderful idea.
