Why Choose A Parochial School? (Freude)

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?

Extractions: Capital of Massachusetts. Few of the early Irish emigrants to Boston were Catholics, as they were unwilling to settle in a Puritan colony. Traces of the Catholic Church are found as early as September , when a ship was in port having two priests on board, who were the guests of the governor. Father Druillettes visited Boston, , to discuss with General Gibbons details of a trading pact and alliance with the Canadian French against the Iroquois; it is surmised that he said Mass at the governor's home. The " Weekly Rehearsal 20 March , announces: "We hear that Mass has been performed in town this winter by an Irish priest among some Catholics of his own nation, of whom it is not doubted we have a considerable number among us." During the French and Indian War, 100 French Catholics were arrested in Boston "to prevent any danger the town may be in," but the sheriff refused to hold them. The Boston " Town Records " admitted that toleration in religion was desirable, but excluded "Roman Catholics" because their belief was "subversive of society." A favorite New England diversion was a procession on 5 November of the pope and the devil, in celebration of the "Gunpowder Plot," usually attended by riot. In

Types of Private Schools Private schools in the United States may be broadly classified as either religious or nonsectarian (nonreligious) institutions. The most common types of religious schools in the United States are supported by various branches of the Catholic Church. Some private schools are known as boarding schools because they offer lodging to students in addition to academic instruction. Private schools that do not offer lodging are often called day schools. Private schools that focus on academic preparation for college are sometimes called preparatory schools or prep schools. Both religious and nonsectarian private schools may feature other distinguishing characteristics, such as single-sex enrollment or residential facilities. The term independent school refers to any private school that is independently governed by a board of trustees, rather than by a church or religious organization. Independent schools may have a religious or nonsectarian orientation. They are financed primarily by tuition, fees, charitable contributions, and income from investments, rather than by tax or church funds. The main organization representing independent schools in the United States is the National Association of Independent Schools. A.

http://www.pioneerinstitute.org/research/opeds/constamend.cfm

Extractions: The drive for school choice that is sweeping the nation is beginning to take root in Massachusetts. A suit on behalf of three mothers challenging the Anti-Aid Amendment to the State Constitution is currently pending in U.S. District Court. The amendment prohibits the use of any public funds for private and parochial schools, and is the biggest barrier to meaningful school choice in the Commonwealth. The Anti-Aid Amendment is also under attack via the initiative petition route. Although using the process to challenge the amendment was specifically prohibited when initiative petitions were adopted in 1917, an injunction granted as part of the pending lawsuit has cleared the way for the petition drive that is currently underway to collect the signatures necessary to force a ballot initiative on the amendment. Last April, over 1.25 million under-privileged families applied for scholarships from the Children's Scholarship Fund, which provides financial assistance for poor families to attend the private school - including parochial schoolsof their choice. This "million parent march" was a stunning repudiation of the status quo by those with a direct and highly personal stake in the success of our K-12 school systemparents. As various attempts to improve public schools have been tried and failed over the past several years, an alternative model is achieving success. In poor neighborhoods where parents are most dissatisfied with the public schools to which they are compelled to send their children, low-cost private and parochial schools are delivering stunning results. Inner-city private schools in Washington, D.C. have a 99 percent graduation rate, as opposed to less than 53 percent for the District's public schools. The benefits cut across racial lines as well. An African-American or Hispanic child from any private school is 37 percent more likely to complete college than a white student from a public school. Not surprisingly, the overwhelming majority of applicants to the Children's Scholarship Fund were minorities.

Still, rising tuitions and falling support from the Archdiocese is leading to the closure of a growing number of parochial schools around massachusetts.
http://www.pioneerinstitute.org/research/opeds/mrryan.cfm

Extractions: By Lovett C. Peters and Stephen J. Adams February 17, 2003 The announcement of the closing of the Monsignor Ryan Memorial High School was a blow to quality education for low-income families in Boston. Come June, when Monsignor Ryan closes its doors for good 90 ninth, tenth and eleventh graders will have to search for some other place to continue their schooling. Our sympathy goes out to those children who at a very formative age will have to say goodbye to familiar faces and surrounding and start over at other schools. And they will be hard pressed to find an educational experience in Boston equal to one they are losing. It will also make even worse the problems of Thomas Payzant, the Superintendent of the Boston Schools, who may have to take in many of the 90 students being disrupted by the closing of Ryan High. Every one of them class graduated and went on to two- or four-year colleges including Lesley, Lasell, Suffolk, UMass Amherst, and Northeastern among others. Still, rising tuitions and falling support from the Archdiocese is leading to the closure of a growing number of parochial schools around Massachusetts. The loss of an affordable, high quality inner-city school is especially difficult to bear for low-income parents. With charter schools in Boston nearly reaching their statutory limit, most poor parents must settle for underperforming district schools.

Bellinghams ethnic composition has become extremely varied over the years, with many claiming direct European and Middle Eastern ancestry spread throughout the town. According to the 2001 town census, the total town population was 15,075, and the projected population for 2010 is only 16,100. In 2002, the median household income in Bellingham was over $71,000.00. Over 60 percent of parents of students have some post-secondary and/or college education. Only 3.4 percent of the families in town have incomes below the poverty level. The town has experienced significant large-scale commercial growth over the past decade, which has created a very strong and stable tax base for the Town. However, many small business and retail operations also exist. The tax base is expected to grow due to significant residential growth and continued commercial development along the Interstate 495 area over the coming years.

Extractions: (Academy for Advancing Technology Leadership and Education in Schools) The Massachusetts Technology Leadership Consortium (MA-TLC) is pleased to announce a new leadership academy designed to help district and school leaders work as a team to address the challenges specific to their own schools and districts. This team-based professional development opportunity, worth several thousand dollars, is made available at no cost to districts through a grant from The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Unlike many programs that only focus on a planning institute, ATLES will provide resources and reinforcement to teams in advance of the institute and during the implementation process. Support from Academy professional staff starts before the first group meeting and continues throughout the school year. Teams will attend a four-day Institute held during the summer of 2004. Prior to the institute, an ATLES facilitator assigned to each team will help the group prepare for the institute in order to maximize value from the program. The facilitator will stay with the team during the Institute and provide up to two additional days of support during the following school year, including research, material development, or consultation in person or via telephone or email.

http://www.etymonline.com/cw/canards.htm

Extractions: YANKEE CANARDS One of the oft-heard put-downs of the Old South was its lack of education, by which is usually meant free public education, which was well-established in New England and the Mid-Atlantic states by 1860 but had barely dented the South. Thus, it is said that the South was uneducated. Yet literacy among white Southerners before the war was more than 80 percent, slightly below that of Northerners but better than the rate in Britain or any European country except Sweden and Denmark. But this was a Massachusetts affair, and New York, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey tended to let parochial schools and private classical academies handle whatever education was wanted, while the Southern colonies relied on apprenticeships and pauper schools. Writers on early education in America tend to break it down into three regional solutions, not a straight North-South split. In the early 19th century, Massachusetts educators began the push to make free schools an American institution. The battle over tax-supported, publicly controlled, non-sectarian schools was waged between 1825 and 1850, and it was second only to the slavery debate in intensity and bitterness. The public school advocates waged their fight state by state, and they had a bitter battle in every one of them, usually settling for local option compromises (as in New York 1849-50; Pennsylvania 1834). Public schools were not truly free to all and "universal" until 1867 in New York, 1871 in Connecticut, Rhode Island, Michigan, and New Jersey; and 1873 in Pennsylvania.

Extractions: Home About ARL Articles >> School Vouchers by Albert Menendez and Edd Doerr Regardless of how the U.S. Supreme Court rules in the Cleveland school voucher case this year, the voucher issue will continue to play a role in the political process. Just about every state legislature and Congress could see battles over proposals to drain the public treasury to support nonpublic schools under the guise of parental choice. And hard-pressed public schools will be caught in the crossfire as they try to maintain adequate levels of funding to educate 90% of this countrys children. N THE 2000 ELECTIONS voters in two large and important states, California and Michigan, overwhelmingly rejected voucher schemes in statewide referenda. These voters handed advocates of public aid to private and parochial schools their 23rd and 24th defeats in 25 elections held in 14 states since 1966. The California vote was 71% to 29% against Proposition 38, an elaborate voucher proposal that would have cost at least $2.4 billion and would have required the state to give a $4,000 annual voucher to any parent, rich or poor, to send a child to a private school. No accountability for the expenditures and carte blanche for private school religious and gender discrimination were parts of the plan. Californians of every demographic group and regional location voted against the plan, including 66% of Catholic voters. Even rural, white interior California counties that voted heavily for George W. Bush for president opposed the initiative.

The city of Manchester is situated on the Merrimac River, in the State of New Hampshire, and was granted its charter 10 July, 1846. Its population is about 70,000, nearly three-fifths of which is Catholic. There are in the city nine large Catholic churches with flourishing parish schools. There are also two small churches, a succursal chapel of the cathedral, and a Ruthenian Catholic church. The Diocese of Manchester was established 4 May, 1884, by a division of the Diocese of Portland which had included both Maine and New Hampshire. It comprises the entire State of New Hampshire, an area of 9305 sq. miles. The total population of the diocese is 412,000, of which 126,034 are Catholics. Denis Mary Bradley, the first bishop, was born in Castle Island, County Kerry, Ireland, 23 Feb., 1846; died 13 Dec., 1903. At the age of eight he came to the United States, settling at Manchester. His early education was obtained at the parochial schools of Manchester and at Holy Cross College, Worcester, Massachusetts. On the completion of his academic course he entered St. Joseph's Seminary, Troy, New York, where, on 3 June, 1871, he was ordained. He was assigned duties in Portland, Maine, and three years later Bishop Bacon Christian education of children and in charitable work.
