Why Choose A Parochial School? (Freude) (Orthodox Christian parochial schools are becoming more common, too, and nowexist in California, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, massachusetts, New York http://www.theologic.com/oflweb/school/paroch.htm
Extractions: In the past, OFL has offered articles for Orthodox parents interested in making the most of their children's experience in the public school system, and for parents interested in home schooling. Many Orthodox parents, however, turn to non-Orthodox parochial schools for their children's academic education. Below, Popadia Donna Freude offers both her professional and personal advice on evaluating a parochial school and handling the potential conflicts between Orthodox beliefs and the religious beliefs taught by the school. - NTK by Donna M. Freude, M.A.Ed. From the time of birth, we parents make thousands of decisions concerning our children. Should we use disposable diapers or cloth diapers? Bottle feed or breast feed? What pediatrician should we select? And of course, where will we send our child to school? The plethora of choices continue to develop as your child grows. The decision to send your child - a baptized Orthodox Christian - to a non-Orthodox parochial school may be made for as many reasons as there are individual children. What is a parochial school?

I don't know of a the per-pupil costs of any of the public schools in Scott, Never one to defend the Massachusetts public school system . . . but is this comparison of cost complete? Doesn't the per pupil cost of public schools include the rather significant expense of busing? What about the cost associated with school lunches? Are school lunch (and in some cases breakfast) programs are funded separately? I'm not sure. Additionally, certain segments of the population that would be denied admission at Sudbury schools (because of special needs we are not equipped to deal with) drive the average costs per pupil WAY up.

Teacher Of The Year Warns: Public Schools Destroy Democracy In part, the massachusetts effort was a nativist attempt to obstruct recent IrishCatholic immigrants from being able to support their parochial schools. http://www.massnews.com/past_issues/2000/10_Oct/1000gatt.htm
Extractions: October 2000 Parents who remove their children from public schools are not trying to just get a better education for them. They are rebelling against a tyrannical and oppressive central power that began in Massachusetts. That's how a New York City and New York State "Teacher of the Year," John Taylor Gatto, says in explaining how Massachusetts, the cradle of the American Revolution, led the way in the "Second American Revolution," that undermined democracy via compulsory schooling. America had achieved near-universal literacy by 1850 without any compulsory schooling. But in the second half of the nineteenth century, the American elite turned to European models - to Prussia especially - to create a docile and homogenized population, he claims. Gatto tells the story in The Underground History of American Education: A Schoolteacher's Intimate Investigation into the Problem of Modern Schooling. Gatto quit his job while he was New York's Teacher of the Year in 1991 and since then has been leading a crusade to break up the government monopoly in schools.

Extractions: The Washington Post In its potential for social amelioration, the largest domestic event this autumn was nothing done by voters or elected officials. It was the Supreme Court's refusal to review the Wisconsin Supreme Court's ruling that Milwaukee's school choice program is constitutional. By such steps liberals are losing their protracted war against poor children. It takes a village of vigilant liberals to keep poor children chained on the plantation of public education. Poor parents are rebellious about their children's assigned role as fodder for one of the Democratic Party's most muscular sources of money, the teachers unions. Milwaukee provides vouchers worth up to $5,000 for 15,000 of the poorest among the city's 100,000 students, who may use them at 122 private schools, 89 of which are religious. Wisconsin's court, in a rare intrusion of common sense about the Establishment Clause, said Milwaukee's program does not constitute ''establishment'' of religion. Vouchers are doubly neutral: They go not to institutions but to parents, who can use them at secular or parochial schools. Splitting already split hairs, courts have held that public money can transport parochial school pupils to classes but not on field trips, can pay for nurses but not guidance counselors at parochial schools, can pay for books but not maps in religious schools. So, mused Sen. Pat Moynihan, what of atlasesbooks of maps?

Dominican Sisters - Fall River, Massachusetts Catherine of Siena (Dominican Sisters) of Fall River, massachusetts, was foundedat is the Christian education of youth in parochial schools, private academies http://www.blessings-catalog.com/Special Orders/sp282.html
Extractions: The Congregation of St. Catherine of Siena (Dominican Sisters) of Fall River, Massachusetts, was founded at Fall River September 4, 1891, by Reverend Mother M. Bertrans Sheridian and two companions, who came from Carrollton, Missouri, at the request of the Dominican Fathers of St. Annes Parish, Fall River, to take charge of the parochial school. Permission to open a novitiate was granted in January, 1892, and in April, 1894, construction was begun on the present Motherhouse building, which was ready for occupancy the following year. Dominican Academy was opened that year in a section of the new building. By 1922 the Community had increased sufficiently to be erected into a Congregation. The primary purpose of the Congregation is the sanctification of its members through the vows of Poverty, Chastity, and Obedience, the regular life and the various monastic observances customary in Dominican convents. The secondary purpose is the Christian education of youth in parochial schools, private academies and through released time programs for pupils of the public school.
