"used to people not listening unless I hold their head in place and tone down my volume..." -it's gotten so that people tell me to shut up before I start saying anything. Sometimes they correct themselves out loud when they see me looking at them. I don't think I like it, but I can't do antyhing about it- especially as I don't usually express myself well verbally. I'm better on paper, or screen.
Mind you, at least I have never said that "People who vote National (right-wing party here) are generally less intelligent than others." Someone said that to me, but with Labour (left-wing) instead of National... *rages*
Ah, see, denominational schools here are a bit different. (whoops, almost said demoninational... freudian slip??) All private schools, round here anyway, are denominational. We also have a few Catholic schools that aren't private. But it means that if you go to a private school, which many parents prefer for their children (if they can afford it, or get a scholarship- I, the latter) you get a bit of religious education and prayers twice a week on the side. Of course Catholic private schools are more gung-ho about it. But anyway, what I was saying was you send your kid to a denominational school not always for the, well, denomination!
