[QUOTE]Originally posted by Raw Cadet: [QB] I am sure there are scores of "Catholic school horror stories;" after all, no system (of economy, education, government, religion, etc.) is perfect. However, I could bore you with my wonderful experiences in Catholic education; undoubtedly they would not be as interesting as an "evil nun" anecdote. Two things rub me the wrong way. Mojo, you posted that my suggestion that exposing students (that is, merely teaching them, and letting them "decide for themselves") to Catholic beliefs, especially since God asks us (believers) to spread the "good news," has a dangerous undercurrent. Yet you agree exposing Catholics to other religions/beliefs is good. Correct me if I am wrong, but this seems a bit hypocritical. What is good for the gander is good for the goose (or vice-versa; however it goes). Second, TSN, while I agree that a more in-depth study of Judeo-Christian history should come earlier in education, too early of a presentation would just be lost on students. After all, the meaning of the number "0" changes numerous times throughout a child's education; a child is not capable of understanding all of the implications of "0" early on. Likewise, intense Judeo-Christian study is probably beyond most children. I guess one could teach them nothing, or one could get accross "the important points" (I personally find either option viable; the sentence is not meant as a conclusion). I wonder about your tone, though. Perhaps I am being overly sensitive, but it just seems to me like you dismiss the whole Catholic/Christian education system as a vast conspiracy to keep kids ignorant. I could be reading too much into your post. [/QB][/QUOTE]
