In the ET school they seem to get bombarded with religious craziness from all corners of the globe and not just our own homegrown variety

no not really. Just if a religion is having a major festival, they'll have a chat about it. Very casual really.

You'll find that people put their kids names down for 2, 3 or 4 ET schools in the hope that they'll get into one. Like, we had our fella's name down on two because we weren't sure where we'd be living in 3 years time!

I initially thought that ET schools didn't have religious stuff at all. Only recently I found out about the sort of things you're describing above. Fuck's sake ... could someone set up an atheist school please???!!!!

Honestly there is no religious craziness at all, or at least in my son's school there isn't. Even if you were an atheist i'm sure you'd want your child to have a knowledge of what different religons are out there, what they generally believe in and how they celebrate, especially when the kids at his table may be Jewish, Hindu, Buddhist etc. That in itself is educational and helps kids grow up with tolerance and acceptance of other kids who are 'different' from them and that's why the schools like these work so well. It allows your child to make their own decisions about what they find spiritually fufilling and then gives them the space to find their own path when they are ready to (and should they want to!).


I still want to go to Pantones school though!

Where's your kid's school Anthony? In Navan?

 

[Anthony]

yea, in the ET school.

 

[MDR]

As a atheist, I am just going to send my kids straight to the civil service.

 

[Pantone247]

yea, in the ET school.

I was going to send my kid there but all they were teaching was phoning home and how to "fly" on bicycles... uh, no thanks Hippy McDrug-a-lot...

Any of yous thinking of sending your kids to one should get their name down as early as you can.

I wish there were more of them. The nearest one to us is Bray, we put her down for that 2 and a half years ago which was great becuase it meant she was only number 192 on a waiting list for 30 places.

It's as if you need to put your child's name down for a school as soon you get a glint in your eye in this country.
