Grandson starting in a catholic school today

False the Catholic church was a magnet for pedophiles because the Vatican protected them from prosecution. No other institution in history had systemic and supported sexual abuse of minors that even comes close. Pedophiles will take jobs that give them access and when caught are prosecuted. The Vatican transferred podophiles out of their country to escape prosecution. They paid over 1 billion in damages.

The Virginia school districts would like a word with you about that.
 
I don't think we can make a blanket statement about all Catholic schools here but they definitely are open to that type of sick corruption. Maybe we could narrow it down to one in five or one in 10 has a couple of weirdos working for them? The number is just a guess and I haven't actually researched it but I'm just trying to make a fundamental point. Then again many public schools have sick teachers who get it on with students and push woke weirdness and stuff like that, so...?

A long time ago my wife and I were looking for daycare for our son who was then a toddler. My wife is Catholic herself. We ended up going to a big convent that had a daycare center attached to it. My wife talked to a nun there who was an absolute ***** and gave her a huge runaround, basically indicating that she wouldn't get daycare there. Even though my wife has Catholic she also happens to be a Latina. And it occurred to me that maybe the old white nun was just a racist POS. So much for Catholic goodness, and Catholics being united by faith, then! 😏

But still, again.... Public schools also have their share of weirdos, creeps and assholes. They're just a different type.

I'm not sure what country you live in, but here in the States, Catholic schools have a couple good things going for them vis a vis the State-run schools.

First, the parents give a shit about their kids' education - no way around that. They have a vested interests (payment) in their own kids and in the school itself.

Second, they can reject "problem" kids, no matter how you define it, and get rid of them, if it benefits the school.

Third, they can impose discipline that cannot exist in the public school environment.

On paper, their teachers may not have the credentials required of State school teachers, but their relatively low pay often means that they take teaching as a vocation, rather than as a job.

My parochial school experience is generations out of date now, but when I graduated from a Catholic (Christian Brothers) HS in 1967, we had the highest rate of seniors going to college of any HS in the county, most 800 SAT scores, national merit scholars, etc. It wasn't even close.

And for the record, after 12 years of Catholic-school education, I never saw even a hint of the scandalous behavior that scourged that System over the years. The WORST that I even heard of was that a priest was later accused of an unwanted kiss bestowed on a Church Lady. For which he got fired.

While a Catholic school can be selective about which students they want, it has been my experience that a lot of the "bad" students got transferred by their parents to a Catholic school to help straighten them out.

Nobody becomes a teacher to get rich.

The Catholic church doesn't have a problem with Latinos - to say the least.
