[quote=briansd1]BGinRB, that didn’t stop Ireland from becoming a Celtic Tiger with the highest per capita GDP in Europe.
Well, that is until the current financial crisis which left Ireland deep in debt (sounds like California).
Nevertheless, educationally, the Irish did well. The population is highly educated and well trained. Some cases of abuse don’t condemn the whole system.

The industrial schools were all closed 30+ years ago, so in this particular instance ‘some cases of abuse’ did condemn the whole system.
Familiarize yourself with the funding model of the Irish schools before you start propagation that model. It might be incompatible with your 0.5% property taxes proposal.
