I teach at a public school where we have many students coming from both Catholic Junior or Senior Highs and all they tell me is how rotten the Catholic School System is. Many of my students tell me how the Catholic System didn't meet their learning needs and how our school is now meeting their learning needs.

Purely made-up crap, and yes, I work for the Catholic System.

Catholic system meets or beats public in virtually every category. You would think a teacher would base his opinion on facts, or at least say what the CBE is doing right, as opposed to slagging the "competition". I would be happy to post the student to teacher ratios as well if you want more proof.
Back on topic...After the govt. combined all of the health boards, there was a lot of talk that they would do the same with the schools. It does make a lot of sense as a taxpayer, but I really would like to keep my job.
