Spotted this on schooldays.ie; as I suppose we have to ‘think ahead’
Cant believe the difference between the two…
If you were to judge a school by % of children that go on to University (and I know there are other ways to judge them, but this is the first thing I would look at)…
…then 18 of the Top 20 would be Southside…
As ever…have been looking at the various websites for the various schools and how they get away with this continuos bloody homage to Edmund Ignatius Rice, all over the websites for the inevitably catholic schools…when will our kids be able to go to school without religion being forced down their throats…I cant see a single mixed non-denominational secondary school anywhere between the M50 and East Wall, in Dublin 3, Dublin 15, Dublin 7 or Dublin 9.
