The reason is quite clear: Catholic school children don’t play video games. It’s a sin.

Yeah they do lol.

I think it's more to do with the student's backgrounds, home life and upbringing

None of those matter once you feel the thrill of Minecraft. One minute you're stabbing Creepers and the next you're blowing away Blue Light special shoppers.

Our boys play Call Of Duty...but they're limited on game time

That’s game where I spend the whole time blowing myself up with grenades. Apparently I throw the pin. lol
 
I was curious if any school shootings happened at Catholic schools, so far there were none. There were about 200 public school shootings since 2000.
This is significant since about 25% of US students attend Catholic/private schools. Should public schools learn from what Catholic schools are doing right? Maybe buying bullet-proof backpacks isn't the answer?


Catholic schools, spared from mass school shootings, remain vigilant

Lets take a poll...


Given that hundreds of thousands of boys were raped by priests, you would think there would be lots of those grown boys coming back and shooting the schools and parishes up.

Hundreds of thousands? Source needed.

I once had some raw recruits throw a practice grenade at me during training. When it didn't go off, I realized that they did not pull the pin, so I pulled the pin and threw it back to them. Boom! In comes another grenade towards me. Silence. I picked it up, pulled the pin and threw it back! They got the message the second time!

And yet, not. So, something about your expectation is wrong.


This is starting to look like a very good question.


Well then if my expectation is wrong, then the Republicans and Trumpies are wrong when they blame mass shootings on angry young men with emotional issues, now aren't they?

I mean, whose more fucked up than a boy who is repeatedly raped by a man of God?

Apparently someone taught by secular liberal teachers in the public schools.


Makes you wonder, doesn't it?
 
#5 trumps this religious bias. duh. Volunteerism made mandatory steals the will-to-jouissance of the potential shooter, so the pupils are pre-castrated. duh.
 
Tighter security.

Strict standards of who can attend.
Not sure what you mean "strict standards of who can attend"? If you pay the tuition you're in, Jews, Protestants, anyone.
Not sure where you're from, but it doesnt work like that around here. Private schools mostly have entry exams.
Entry exams yes, but I attended a small Catholic Boy's school. 130 in my graduating class, 3 of them were Jewish.
 
What are the 99% of schools altogether in the Country doing "right" to not have had any shootings :rolleyes:


If one good sized category of schools, are totally missing a certain problem, it makes sense to ask why.
Have there been any mass shootings at an all black school? How about at an all girls school? How about at schools that start with the letter B?

Your poll is useless because it has the wrong choices. I went to a private high school and in theory, problems there should be HIGHER because after all, by design they will have all the students who didn't fit in or were thrown out of the public school system. But at least in my day, that wasn't the case because they offered a sane environment responsive to the student in contrast to the totally INSANE environment of the public schools (especially now) which are totally UNresponsive to students and expect them to CONFORM, fit into a one-size-fit-all mold, and march to the drill sergeant's drummer, UNDER THREAT OF FORCE AND HARSH PENALTY, with bells ringing, deadlines, guards, crowds, noise, locked doors, strict rules posted everywhere and little fun in between.

NOT the environment where one learns.

I have no idea, but those are very good questions. Except for the one about the b. That was stupid.
 
Students too busy running from priests...

False comparison fallacy.

No, it actually illustrates why the premise of this topic is stupid. That was the point.

Religious schools teach respect and restraint...If you're a career ****-up, you get tossed out.

Parents are more involved because they have some real skin in the game.

No doubt there are aspects to the administration and faculty that are involved in the more productive educational environment as well.

then look at all the settlements the Catholic church has made with parents of molested children by faculty ...
