    Nothing like a bit of class outrage. I mean, how dare anybody send their child to a private school.

    most the schools around d4 are 3 piece suit schools. i went to conleths, there was a 3 piece suit option, not many wore it, was mainly the junior school wearing it, john scottus in general wore it alot more

    You obviously don't know what a 3 piece suit means.

    Tie and blazer is not a 3 piece suit. I suggest you take tailoring 101.

    Well statistics don't lie my friend and most of those guys will end up in suits anyway, so they might aswell get used to being better that guys running around in tracksuits etc

    Ye they more than likely will end up in suits, but deliberately setting them apart to think they're better than others simply because of a private education will turn them into a arrogant snobby ****.

    So dressing well makes you an "arrogant snobby" whatever?

    What about people who "deliberately set themselves apart" by wearing €150 runners, Lacoste tracksuits and sport 18ct gold sovereigns?

    What do you propose children wear to school? A State standard uniform (trousers for both boys and girls, of course) with tri-colour armband?

    Lads, not everyone wants to send their kid to a Catholic school.

    There is a substantial number of us who aren't Catholic. I'm an atheist, my family isn't Catholic either. I don't want my kids going to a Catholic school. There was no free alternative, so I sent him to a fee-paying school. What's your gripe??

    Until state schools exist in every region, fee-paying schools will exist.

    Besides, the fee-paying schools have diverse ethoses. Some are Church of Ireland (they're not actually Protestant you know), some are non-denominational, some are Muslim or Jewish or big into rugby or music or classics - parents can then chose what will suit their child and the family ethos.

    Wait till you have to decide where your kids will go to school - and find the local schools are not what you'd like at all.

    It's not a 3 piece suit considering the proper semantics of the phrase. If you wish to try to generate momentum to change the meaning, by all means, go ahead.

    I'm not sure that the majority's ignorance of the actual meaning is any justification for trying to declare the meaning now changed.

    Interesting that you observe the majority to be ignorant. Perhaps this is the case from your perspective. I'd better watch out next time I'm on Wikipedia.

    I'm not trying to declare anything. When one uses words, it is reasonable to assume they are being used according to their definition and that the semantic role is clear from the context.

    To describe the John Scottus uniform as a "three piece suit" is ridiculous. Loose use of language only leads to confusion.

    Agreed.

    Agreed...
    You seem to think that I think the John Scottus uniform is a three piece? Would you like to read the thread again and perhaps we'll start over.

    I've heard a lot of differing opinions on the place. Anyone who went there care to explain what the place is about?


    I went there, What you want to know?


    I wasn't brainwashed when i went there, When i left i hated the place, but looking back, it was more me being harsh on the place


    The School is Partly Funded by the SPES, However its a normal school, does normal subjects, and Normal Teachers

    The school offers Optional Subjects (Greek, Sanskrit, Latin), Which are encouraged. But your not going to be kicked out for not doing them


    Admittedly, its been nearly 7 years since i left, But the Main Man of the school, is a Dr Telford, who would always be Interested in talking to anyone about the school, if you were interested.
    as for 3 piece suits thing, I'll clarify that now


    When you start in Morhampton road, your meant to wear a Blazer, Grey trousers and Blue shirt. The Grey Jumper is optional, As is the blazer. (one or the other, on a cold morning, i (and many others) wore both

    When your in 5th year. the uniform changes to a blazer and Shirt and tie (of your own choice)

    What is wrong with meditation???

    I went to the local convent school and during retreats and some religion classes we did meditation.

    Are you sure you are not thinking of Levitation....a la Exorcist :-)

    He comes out with a steady stream of trolling, take no heed.

    I went to a private school too, DR Cowboy, before you get any ideas about jealousy/inferiority/skangeriness/etc. etc.
