As I said, there a lot of very religious people who figured out what you said without attending a Catholic school. That leads me to believe that you don't require one dedicated hour every day to accomplish most of the things you claim are the value. I mean, I've never even read The Bible and I think I think I have a pretty good appreciation of mankind.

So I guess we agree?

So I guess we agree?

You don't but that is beside the point.

Name the Catholic that you know who has received the sacraments and not received instruction outside of mass either in catholic school or CCD?

The future holds the possibility to be great or terrible, and since it has not yet occurred it remains simultaneously both.

Yes if you agree public school is not superior.

Well, being that CCD is required to get the sacraments that is a very strange question.

If you hate Laurence, then don't listen - don't comment. When he co-hosts the B&B show, take that day off ... listen to an old podcast of a Bernstein solo show and jerk off all day.

Faith Formation is the preferred nomenclature now.

There is not a damned thing wrong with people who are bull shitters.

Still CCD here.

Indiana ahead of the curve as usual!

There is not a damned thing wrong with people who are bull shitters.

If the deeply religious on here don't think that Catholic school is superior then I feel justified in my opinion on the matter.

Well, there are a lot of dumb people spending a lot of money on an education they don't find superior.

Pence making changes!

Getting things done!

The crisis consists precisely in the fact that the old is dying and the new cannot be born; in this interregnum a great variety of morbid symptoms appear.

In some cases the schools are academically superior.

However, you just fully looped this back to the beginning of the discussion where I said they were paying for something different, not necessarily academically superior.

it but my opinion is that every minute spent during normal school hours that is spent studying "religion" is time wasted and a disservice to the child. That adds up to thousands of hours of school that are spent learning the same things most people learn an hour a day on Sunday mornings.

This is what you said, for reference. The first part is absurd and the second is false.

then don't say I changed your thought.

actually I don't find it obvious at all. A kid that did nothing but read great literature would be FAR more educated than one who did math and science all day. Not to mention happier and a better citizen.

There's less doubt Pilate existed than Jesus.

Pilate myths are pretty interesting. There are a wide range of places throughout Europe that have a claim of "Pilate slept here".

Jesus, why couldn't this board have been crawling with Lutherans?

Our hotel smelled like dead hooker vagina (before you ask I had gotten a detailed description from beardown)

Jesus, why couldn't this board have been crawling with Lutherans?

So in summary, you think I am abusing my children, even though the preponderance of the evidence suggests that children that attend catholic schools have higher test scores, graduation rates, college admittance, college graduation, and lifetime incomes?

Nice having a logical discussion with you.

Lot of effort goes into discrediting the facts. I wonder why that could be?

Should I Send My Child to an Expensive School?

Although our findings suggest that attending parochial and private high schools may have long-run economic benefits, it is important to keep in mind that students who attend Catholic and private schools come from a nonrandom sample. Students at these schools may have traits that contribute to their academic and economic achievement. Economists call this "selection bias," and its presence can negate causality in a relationship. Thus, the observed correlation between school type and economic outcomes may arise because students who attend private schools are inherently more likely to succeed regardless of where they are educated.

As a result, the returns to the type of high school a student attends may be a better indicator of a student's ability or family finances rather than the school's effect.8 This issue provides evidence for the match-quality measure of school type, assuming individuals who choose the school in which they enroll are selecting the school based on unquantifiable aspects of fit, such as values. As a parent, what matters may be simply focusing on a child's education regardless of the school a child attends.

Yes if you agree public school is not superior.
