  • Olive, thank you for an excellent article.  The latest in forced standardization is CCLS-Core Curriculum Learning Standards.  If Pres. Obama has his way, non-public schools will lose all public support, including schoolbus transportation if they fail to adopt these ungodly "standards."  The solution at present is either homeschooling or for a school to accept no public funds, including the exemption for purchase of textbooks and technology.
     St. Francis Xavier threw a Crucifix into the sea, at once calming the waves.  Upon reaching the shore, the Crucifix was returned to him by a crab with a curious cross pattern on its shell.

  • Good read, thanks for posting.

    John Taylor Gatto is a pretty interesting secular commentator on education (I don't think he is Catholic).

    There are quite a few videos on youtube worth checking out.

    Trad schools should not accept gov funds at all.
