We prayed before games (as was school protocol).
My appointed captain led our circle.

I guess, technically 1. I know of one of “my” girls going on to play for her national team.
That’s .000000000000001% of kids that play, so I don’t know if I’d necessarily gauge a coaches success on how many kids “go pro”… Just say’n. If you ask me how many kids that I inherited that were completely raw, had barely played and turned into all conference players and went to play in college (because I was brought into specialize their position)…I can answer that.

Umm, I didn’t say you put down public school, but that you said kids that go to public school are poorly Cathecized, irreverent, parents who put sports above CCD, etc…and called it fact.No. I did not denigrate public school.
Is it possibly that many are just trying to make ends meet instead?Many ccd patents here are not willing to giveup lavish vacations to do so.

I’m not bothered at all. I’m just surprised at how many would prefer an educator or coach be Catholic as their main qualification. I coached at a Catholic school and they didn’t care…like a little bit. They asked if I was Catholic after I was hired. They just wanted to make sure I was cool with praying before games.I am surprised this strong preference for Catholic teachers bothers you that much.

Neither! We homeschool and I’ll tell you why…
First, I am traditional and active in the Roman Catholic church. Prior to children and marriage I worked in the school system and before I had children I wanted to homeschool, I was also a fallen away Catholic at the time. Growing up I was also a public school kid and a private school kid. I had a richer experience as a Catholic school kid and hated my public school days. As a child I learned to behold and wonder in Catholic school. The basics of Thomas Aquinas taught us to see God in all subjects as we learned to know God, love God and serve Him. But I was fortunate enough to have had a good catholic school experience.
Now as a married adult with kids, I have come to find that the Catholic schools in my area are luke warm Catholics. At one school in the area, the 4th grade class was asked to read “Whos Who? Pope John P II” And the story written up talked about how close minded he was and the Church is against gays. The teacher/school had no idea it was anti-Catholic material until they were confronted by another parent. These are the issue with Catholic schools I found in this area. There is one school I am considering when my kids are older, but since I started a Catholic curriculum at home, my children are ahead of public school and private schools in this area (I’ve checked). Prior to kids I evaluated students behavior in public schools and their program and their teacher. Not all schools are the same but as a whole I knew I wanted to homeschool my kids or find a good private school that was traditional, safe and truly cared about children’s souls in the process. So, wherever you find yourself to be with children, really explore the area, the schools and etc.
If you are considering converting, I wouldn’t waste time on RCIA classes. I pray you find a good class and priest to inspire you the way my spouse and I have been through the faith.

You seem defensive about this and twist my words… i have heard parents at my older sons retreats comment negatively about religion and that the only reason they are there is to have a church wedding
There are devout students in ccd. Because parents teach then
But it is a fact*that there are no reminders of their faith in public school.
God help them as they are taught freedom of choice and about same marriage.
And all the liberal drival. Then they attend
Ccd once a week.
Education needs to be at home to constantly remind of whats important for thier immortal souls.
Math history etc is not. Its religion s a way of life and the rest falls in place

I’m not defensive or twisting anything.
You can go back up thread and read what you wrote. That’s exactly what I put down.
And you honestly tried to compare a coaches ability by how many pro athletes they “create”.

I’ll give you that one. Not a deal breaker for us… We choose the public school system vs. the Parish school.But it is a fact *that there are no reminders of their faith in public school.
Uh…what? What curriculum is this a part of? Never seen it (and my wife is a public school teacher).God help them as they are taught freedom of choice and about same marriage.
We may never see eye to eye. I’m a public school product, my wife teaches in a public school, I worked in a Catholic school and honestly couldn’t have told you which kids went to the Catholic school and which ones didn’t. They were all (for the most part) good kids. I have no idea what you’re seeing at your public school (if you’ve actually stepped foot in it)…but is sounds very…IDK the best way to put it, out there maybe?And all the liberal drival.

I know this is unusual, but one of my children goes to a public charter high school. (The rest are homeschooled.) He has a great group of Catholic friends who pray the Angelus every day at lunch. They are frequently joined by one or more of their teachers. Two Fridays each month these kids spend their evenings in an intense study of the faith, learning and being challenged to take that faith into the world. These kids are salt and light. They would give you hope for the future of the church.But it is a fact *that there are no reminders of their faith in public school.
I am a product of Catholic schools and I would not have it any other way. I believe that it gave me a strong foundation and the sense of belonging to the Church that I would not have otherwise had. I was probably the last generation in my area to be taught by sisters in habits. I spent one year, eighth grade, in public school and begged my parents to send me Catholic school for high school.
Educationally speaking, it was a mixed bag. My brother had to be transferred to a public school because a Catholic school did not have the resources (or attitude) to meet his educational needs. I have two children whose educational needs could not be met by a Catholic School. It is truly a tragedy that most kids with special needs do not even have the option of Catholic School.
My husband, a military brat, was a product of public schools. He never went to Catholic School and attended CCD regularly, in different parishes across the nation and the world. He says he didn’t learn much at CCD, but he learned the faith at home.
I could give you a dozen anecdotes about people who chose one or the other, for various reasons, with different results, running the gamut from priestly vocations to a total loss of faith, in both private and public schools. Each situation is unique, but the common thread running through all of these stories would be that the families chose what was best for their individual circumstances. Sometimes, there is no choice but to send a child to public school.
Let us pray for families and for the strength of the domestic church.

Your curriculum is different then…, that’s all I can say.
