And other than religion teachings in Catholic Schools and other religious schools, all curriculum are standardized and all are funded “equally” that even contributions from parents for capital projects for their children schools is still a very contested issue that will offset the balance as some areas of middle class income or well-to-do parents will have a better school facilities than in those, whose parents who can not afford school donations.

So far only one school board, the Peel Region in the whole Province that have the Policy of openly accepting donations from parents for capital projects and is not challenge yet in courts yet.

Public School here are considered as good or not better than religious school, that’s why even when most families here are Catholic, they prefer to send their Children to Public Schools than Catholic.
One reason is Children don’t want to wear Uniforms and Pray. But boy, have you seen those teenage students pulling up their skirts up, up, and lower it down a bit as soon as they enter the campus. And anyways, it always a co-ed, not heard of any exclusive, girls or boys schools here.

Most if not all, of Canada’s Political Leaders and Business Leaders, and Professionals and Tradesmen were the product of Public School systems, a universal scheme. all the same as all are equal before and under the law…

In a related development, it’s quite an indictment of the American public school system when an atheist donates $22M to the Archdiocese of New York to fund a scholarship program for inner city youth. He recognizes that public education isnt up to snuff.

correct me if i’m wrong, but i think there is logic after all in funding catholic schools. you as a parent wants the best for your child. studies have shown that catholic schools are far better than public schools. so you opt to send your child to a catholic school then, if you want to rear a person who is better educated, which will translate later to higher social benefit. which means you as a taxpayer has the right to demand that catholic schools be funded from public money because society will later enjoy the higher social net effect from sending your child to catholic schools. i think that is the logic that works in both the canadian and australian system.

Like the Catholic Schools in Ontario. Majority of Ontarians are Catholics and sending their children to Catholic Secondary Schools (from Jr. kindergarten to Grade 13, now reduced to grade 12) is very, very expensive, but with the Church and Government working together, now All Catholic Schools are Publicly Funded same as Public Schools. Some other religious school are not yet fully funded, but fees are entitled to Tax Credits. Social Programs, like helping the homeless, addicts, single mothers are the partnership of the Church and Governments. Salvation Army even have their own Hospitals, same as St. Michael’s, St. Joseph’s, Mt. Sinai although they are run by religious Orders, they are all Standardized and Fully Funded by Government and open to all Religions to their own specialties and all are Non-Profit. Churches and Governments working in Concert makes things Happen…working against each others, well, Hell is on Earth…

GMA is not turning over a new leaf. zebras dnt change their stripes overnyt. and pigs dnt fly all of a sudden when their feed is taken from them.

if GMA’s history tells a story, it is this: everytime she says something that gives people hope that maybe she’s changing for the good, she’s actually planning the opposite. more sinister and more BAD.

don’t you think that maybe she’s making heads roll to prepare the red carpet for her extended stay past 2010? put in more rabid, err, loyal followers in all appointive posts. And that she’s making a point to her followers, sending the message that: if u dnt deliver what i want, look what’ll happen to you. the ff appointees would be more beholden to her than anything.

change for the country’s good can wait in hell for all she cares.

And maybe within 2 weeks, GMA or one of the Cabinet secretaries will pooh-pooh the earlier pronouncements of Amnesty International on Philippine human rights… that AmnestyInternational lacks moral authority, haven’t you heard what Rome said?
