Motivations and recommendations
Category: Faith
As a thought starter for today Off the Beaten Track recently posted about the phenomenon of parents getting the local vicar to sign the form to give their child preference in the local church school.
I've commented there, so presuming Paul doesn't object, you can read some of my thoughts on the subject there. But I wonder what yours might be?
Similarly it made me think about the value of thinking through other potentially tricky situations before they turn up on the doorstep.... ¶ 8:50 am

I found myself in a similar situation recetly, as the parish priest of a family who wanted to get their child into a RCatholic school; if I signed they were "members" with us, they got slightly higher up the list.

I see them about three times a year, does that make them attenders? I signed the form and put a note asking the school to call me if they want more information. They never did, but the child got the place...
