Secondary schools are at capacity now and finding a place for your kid is hard enough but now it seems like the religious card is being played especially by Catholic secondary schools. So all over the place kids from the 56 Educate Together schools are finding it hard to get into good schools.
What can be done? Has anyone had experience with this? I know of some parents who have had to use an expensive private school because the local school has just blanked the local ET school. Is this the Catholic church fighting back? A subtle recruitment drive?
Especially now in the age of "count me out" are new parents still happy to get their kids christened for schools or to keep their own parents happy? I'm going to say, shame on you if you do.
