Should public school be subject to public school rules?

[CDNBear]

They're not private schools, and the antomym of private is public, so Separate schools are public schools just as the secular public schools are.

I'm not white, so therefore I must be black?

Give your head a shake.

I see this thread is another in machjo's crusade to rid Ontario of those horrible Catholic separate schools. Really sucks to be you, eh machjo? Sucks to be the moron that is trying to challenge the system too. I just love these immigrants that want to throw away agreements that were made and enshrined into our Constitution before they and there's were even a part of Canada. What's next on your agenda machjo? First Nations rights that are enshrined in our Constitution? You want to throw those agreements out the window too?


Bullying covers and involves more than JUST GBLT.

Immigrant? i trace my roots to New France. And even if I were an immigrant, I'd be paying my taxes like anyone else. I was raised Catholic but choose my own path. Now if you have such a hate-on for immigrants, suit yourself.

Now as for private Catholic schools, I have no qualms with that. I would not even be against voucher schools where all religions (and yes, including Catholic) are treated equally.

So it would seem not only do you hate immigrants, but also anyone who believes in no discrimination on the basis of religion before the law. Suit yourself.

Everyone has access to education. There is no inequality.

Ahhh, so this thread really had nothing to do with bullying laws or rules. Gotchya.

So what is it you want to argue? Rules or the Constitutionality of the Separate school system in Ontario?

That's not true. Even Catholics have to pay taxes.


Blah blah blah!

Lemme guess, this burning issue on public schools is about to morph into a rant regarding why the Queen can't marry a catholic.

How many threads do we have on this now?

Far to many!!!

Far to many!!!

And perhaps rather pointless!

Ugh. I was fortunate in that I got out of the Catholic system 1 year before uniforms became mandatory. I'd refuse to wear them. Uniforms for a job are one thing, at a school, I'll look elsewhere.

Same here.

Private schools wouldnt be allowed to exist in the first place if they didnt conform to certain standards.

Yep. But make all the laws and regs the same for private schools and they'd essentially be no different from public schools.

This alone would help a lot. When I was in school the main problem was that the teachers and the administration would do nothing most of the time. On the rare occasion that they did the bullied would be punished right along side the bullies. It made absolutely no sense. With the way rules are a kid cant even defend themselves. If the schoold refuse to protect them the kids should at least be allowed to do it themselves.

bullying wasn't allowed in the schools I went to and bullies had to be pretty surruptitious to get away with it. But, if caught it was pretty much the same as yours in that the bullied and the bully would be treated the same. Idiotic at best.

Of course the parents are going to pay for the "uniform", which can be anything as long as everyone has the same thing..........G.W.G. jeans and a white T shirt for example. The school could provide them (they could get a discount buying in quantity) and bill the parents.
Your last sentence makes no sense at all, it's just as cheap to have 10 sets of clothes as it is to have one. :lol:

It's just as cheap to buy 10 sets of clothes as it is to have one?


My point, which you can't grasp, is that a school uniform can only be worn to school. Regular clothes can be worn for anything. So expecting parents to buy a special set of uniforms that can only be worn for school doesn't save money on clothing. The kids have to wear something when they are home after school, and on weekends.

That is not hard to figure out!! So what's the difference? It's not like you'd be going to school naked otherwise! I have about 30 pairs of socks, no more costly than one pair of socks.

No I can't grasp it, are the cops going to come over right after school to make sure you take it off? Would it be harmful if you wore it to do your homework and watch T.V.?
