[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] Snay: Why? *Dexterspeak* Because they are Stoopid! Incidentally, it should be pointed out that the students are NOT attending Cath. School 'of their own free will.' Their parents picked the school. From My Experience, Catholic schools can range from good to horrific, depending upon the quality of the staff. My gf's schooling was in the 'horiffic' range from a human rights perspective, but a 'decent' education-wise. Anecdote: In grade school (2nd grade, I think), my gf's class was assigned to draw portraits of the stained-glass windows of the church. Julie drew the Virgin Mary. Her teacher/nun vehemently objected to the drawing, because Julie drew Mary in a red dress under her blue robe, and "Mary would NEVER wear red! She's not a 'scarlet woman!'" Julie insisted that that's how the window was made. Teach insisted the dress was blue all over. So teach dragged her back to the church, where lo and behold... the dress WAS red. (I've seen it.) Did teacher apologize, or even admit it? NO! She insisted that Julie say that the dress was blue all over. Julie wouldn't. They stayed there for THREE HOURS, in a battle of wills. Finally, the eight-year-old gave in... outwardly. But it's still red. She remembers this incident every time we watch "Chains of Command," which is now one of her favorite episodes. "There are FOUR lights!" Oh, and that school is STILL threatening kids with the old 'if you have a sin on your sould when you go to First Communion, you'll catch on fire when the priest puts the wafer in your mouth. They're not ALL out of the dark Ages, RC. [/QB][/QUOTE]
