Jump to: Newest in thread
"Not just Catholics, as there is a dwindling amount of Catholics other Faiths can go to RC schools too, so they are more mixed than ever before .."
yeah but I mean the Catholic education system, why is it better when it's all meant to be same curriculum

"Nope they just get more funding than other schools but wouldn't ever say a better education
John  hmm I'd say the exam results prove differently, is it because taught better morals? "
Not at all I know plenty of people who have attended both types of school who have no morals or have plenty education is education religion should have nothing to do with it. |

my kids who arent catholic attend a catholic school . stats wise its the best school in the area . personally i think its utter shite they do well at school but the school offers nothing outwith a normal education . and certainly no evidence if it being better funded . quite the opposite i would suggest |

Through personal experience Haven been to both schools I'd say this is a incorrect assumption. The only good school I attended in Scotland was a mixed school in Musselburgh. But in fairness it just didn't compare to my education In England. England has a better education system. Religious schools dont come into it. This is speculation OP

Better schools give better education, some are Catholic schools some are not. It's more dependent on the area the school is in and the interest the parents take or can afford to take in their children's education |

Religion should have no place in public life, nor should faiths feel entitled to expect any special considerations.
Religion is a purely personal superstition - keep it in the home or for church. It should not be allowed to influence the decisions of civil society. |

Our local Catholic school came second top for most expulsions and was one of the worst for attacks on teachers.
In recent news few kids we're rushed into hospital after a reaction to ecstasy they took during their lunch break and one of the teachers has just been jailed for having an affair with a 12 year old pupil.

I went to catholic schools. Including an all boys secondary school.
We had a few nuns. I did reasonably well. But had to travel across the city to go. That meant my friends were spread out all over the place.
Personally, I see no difference now my kids go to non-catholic schools except their friends live close by  |

I find you quite amusing. In your opinion you believe that Catholic schools in Scotland have a better education system. When you asked parents if this is the case and why??
They tell you this isn't the case and you still want to know why this is the case. So I ask this did you go to a protestant school in Scotland as you make no sense
I went to several in Scotland England and over seas
Before you pass judgement on your opinion of my education |

When I was growing up I always found my Catholic cousins school was way more strict...
Skirts below the knee and blazers on at all time
We're as I could go to school in more or less anything I wanted
But...judging by the fekn height of girls skirts now...that's way gone !! |

if you actually read it properly you would see that I said they agree, and I went to a Catholic primary and secondary I also mentioned this |

And on that note, surely religion is a 'personal' choice.
Shouldn't it therefore be down to the individual child to decide wether they want to follow a certain religion instead of being made to attend a denominational school of their parents choosing?

Of all the years I've been on this site....this must in my personal opinion the most dumbass thread ever posted.
In my opinion and as someone earlier said, with a view to starting a discussion that will more than likely turn into the proverbial west coast issue of religion against religion.
However, I'll throw my tuppence in and ask why in this day and age Glasgow City Council as well as lots of other local authorities are building new schools, Catholic and non-denominational where both schools are less than 50% occupied. Some of these schools are 300 metres down the road from each other. Public purse pound is at a premium and we're still battling with the same shit because we don't want to actually deal with the issue and just BUILD a fooking school without a tag or label attached to it. |

Personal experience no ... they spend too much time on religious education
I went to a catholic primary school p1-4 and we did some RE every single afternoon ... moved to a non denominational school and was almost a year behind ... talking literally i was on like 3x table while my new class were on 12
Fast forward to secondary school and at my non deminational school we all sat 8 standard grades while my friends at the loval catholic school were only able to sit 7 maximum
I dont think that can possibly be a better education but there does seem to be an external perception that it is |

Biggest issue on educational achievement is parents kids in better areas consistently score higher than kids in poorer areas. Parents with money expect a certain attainment and will try to help their kids to this using any means possible after school clubs tutors study guides etc |

No bloody way.... education is a lifetime of curriculum and real life experiences ... not about the ten commandments ... that is pish... just respect yourself and treat people like you wish to be treated and you will not fail in professional ability or personal ambition |

The Catholic Church put more funds into their schools. Certainly isn't because they're taught better morals!
I did a placement in one and most of the kids had to be baptised before they could take communion. They certainly weren't all born to married parents either. Probably the exam results are down to only allowing those who will pass to sit the exams.

In Renfrewshire we have probably the first shared campus catholic and non denominational schools. Two primary schools in one building.
The original two school buildings were identical and separated by about 100m. School is the place religion separates kids. Go to college, uni, work and we're all together regardless of colour and belief. Kids don't understand why their friends go to a different school. But it's the Catholic Church who object to single campus schools. Renfrewshire wanted to build a second single campus school but couldn't. |

Incorrect, what is fact is that Catholic schools are provided by the church a percentage of funding required to run that school, other schools are totally funded by the government. |
