Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

school fees

thebaz · 2007-02-04 13:43:30

i see my old school , gonzaga, is abolishing fees , i think its a good thing as i found it elitist when i went -- should fees be abolished for all secondary schools, similar to 3rd level ! I think it would be a good move , equal education, and allow people to learn with people from all different backgrounds .

You seem incredibly well balanced Swingking, a chip on both shoulders I guess?

I went to a boarding school in South County Dublin and I think this idea is great. And no, any kids less privilged than others were not picked on or singled out as far as I can see so I think it's a great idea. And anyone I went to school with are well-rounded decent people inhabiting a very real world. Not a virtual universe as Swingking so eloquently suggests.
