If the whole system was integrated then there's be just as many teams, if not more.Quote from: Maguire01 on August 18, 2011, 10:47:43 PMQuote from: BennyCake on August 18, 2011, 10:37:30 PMYou really think that if the education system was properly integrated that there'd be no GAA or Irish?Quote from: Maguire01 on August 18, 2011, 10:29:47 PMQuote from: BennyCake on August 18, 2011, 10:26:07 PMAny reasons why?
A Big Thumbs Down!
Integrated education will dilute our culture and its importance. There will be no or little emphasis on our sports, language, dance, music etc, as there would be in an all catholic school. Kids will be growing up playing hockey or badminton instead of GAA, and learning german instead of Irish. A big NO for me!
How many Integrated schools have gaelic football, hurling or camogie teams?
Maybe its half-hearted because people can see through this integrated education crap. By any chance, were you educated in the North?
