Even in the unlikely event that the charter schools are academically superior to the Catholic schools they replace, they will not be able to tell students where they came from, who they are, what their purpose is in life, and where they are going. Those things are fundamental to a true education; and the formation of students in the faith is critical to the future of the Church and the building of the Kingdom. We know from decades of bitter experience that CCD doesn't accomplish the job.Daniel J.

Seems the public system knows it can't absorb those children. Someone out there knows the great contributions which Catholic schools make to the general public, but would die rather than admit it.Leticiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08170455690163831806noreply@blogger.com
