		<description>&quot;Are you suggesting faith schools only have one racial group?&quot;

Not necessarily. Where I grew up St. John Fisher Catholic School had both Catholic children, and middle-class Muslim children who didn&#039;t want their kids to grow up &#039;in the ghetto&#039;.


I&#039;m going out on a limb here, but I&#039;m guessing the same isn&#039;t true of the Tauheedul Islam School for Girls, or the Yesodey Hatorah Girls&#8217; Primary School, since its application form specifically says &lt;i&gt;Parents will also need to obtain a supplementary form from the school relating to their commitment to the Charedi Jewish faith which must be signed. Any disputes as to whether a child is Jewish will be settled by reference to the Rabbinate of the Union of Orthodox Hebrew Congregations.&lt;/i&gt;</description>

		<description>I don&#039;t understand your first question. Are you suggesting faith schools only have one racial group?

As for your second question, I have known a few teachers with incomprehsible accents but have never heard of any complaints about them. Kids don&#039;t actually care about teachers&#039; accents because they don&#039;t actually listen to what teachers say anyway.</description>

		<description>Well that&#039;s an interesting set of comments. So, if there is something wrong with students congregating in racially segregated groups, what are they meant to do when it&#039;s playtime at a faith school?

Also interested in how many teachers do have incomprehensible accents. I presume it&#039;s a non-zero number, given that it seems to be about 20% of doctors, and they have to do way more exams than teachers.</description>
