My son also goes to a school with a no sweets, crisps, fizzy drinks, nuts etc. policy and it's great. It also takes the pressure off the parents because the kids can't say 'I want X because my friend has it every day', it's a school rule and there's no deviation.
If the government doesn't have the money, inclination or whatever the reason is to supply, maintain schools, then perhaps it's a good thing that the private sector are getting involved.
I was forced to send my son to a private school as the only alternative was an over-crowded national school where he would have been 1 of 36 boys in the class and the school in question has been classified as 'deprived' by the authorities themselves.
1 in 7 Irish children leave school with literacy problems - not surprising considering the size of some of the classes, which the Government have pledged to reduce to 20 by 2007.
I don't think that this the defining feature of PPPs. Governments have always relied on the private sector for certain services. It's hardly privitisation if the government declines to set up a furniture factory staffed with public sector workers to supply filing cabinets for their offices, for example. It's more tradition than anything else that gets the outsourcing of a service or whatever branded as "privitisation".How it works is responsibility for the set-up is devolved to the commercial sector and funded by public priming monies. The argument is that the commercial sector is not subject to the restraints, delays bureaucracy and hamfistedness of the "public sector" and that the commercial sector "knows" how to run projects within budget etc.
He's in his last year at Primary School and I think it has more to do with the possibility that a young child who is allergic to nuts may eat them by mistake.legend99 said:banning nuts??? if you are a vegiterian I always understood that nuts could be an important and healthy part of your diet???
