Delegate Black Supports State Funding for Catholic Schools By Clare MacDonnell HERALD Staff Writer Virginia Delegate Richard H. Black, a parishioner of St. Catherine of Siena Church in Great Falls, announced recently that he "wholeheartedly supports the initiative launched by the Virginia Catholic Education Association to strengthen Catholic schools in the Arlington and Richmond dioceses." The announcement coincided with the one year anniversary of the Supreme Court Case, "Agostini v. Felton," that upheld the right of religious schools to receive state funds on an equal basis with public schools, providing the funds are not used for religious education. "The ‘Agostini v. Felton’ decision has created a favorable climate for the initiatives of the Virginia Catholic Education Association to bear fruit in Virginia," said Black. "I believe that the timing of the initiative is providential." Black would like to pursue legislation on a dual lobby track consisting of the Catholic and Protestant school lobby. He said that if both school systems are covered, much of the voting population will be involved and thus will emerge the necessary support for the legislation.

Parochial Schools: Out of Cities, Into the Suburbs Tim Cornell, Special to The Christian Science Monitor PHILADELPHIA Suburban waiting lists In Arlington, Va., the waiting list for the elementary schools runs into the thousands. In the Minneapolis suburbs, the archdiocese is building a major building every year, and still can't keep up with the demand. The growing enrollment may seem good, but the flood of students presents many problems. At Our Lady of Mercy, the parish set up trailers to house the extra students until it built a $4 million addition this year. But the school is still overfilled. "Parents complain about the class size, which is about 34," says Sister Virginia Pfan, the school principal. "We just don't have room for anyone else." The schools' popularity doesn't always stem from good facilities. Few schools offer computers in the classroom and many work with vintage science equipment. Students still sit in silent rows, and the schools stress that education is a result of individual effort.

Elementary school teachers teach children the basic skills needed to get through lifereading, writing and arithmeticbut also introduce children to many other topics, including the sciences, foreign languages and social studies. Good elementary school teachers pique children's curiosity, encouraging them to learn more while enhancing their self-esteem and self-confidence. They broaden a child's understanding of the world and set an example through their words and actions. Bad teachers, on the other hand, do none of these things, and can even discourage learning and dampen self-esteem.

Much Ado About Kindergarten by Celeste Land, Chair, VHEA Government Affairs Committee This article originally appeared in the September/October 2002 issue of the VHEA Newsletter Every prospective homeschooler approaches Virginia homeschooling law with questions, concerns, and a little apprehension. Yet no part of our state's homeschooling law seems to provoke more confusion or strong emotional feelings as the sections about kindergarten-aged children. Following are some frequently asked questions about homeschooling kindergarten-aged children in Virginia: Q: How old does my child have to be before I have to officially register him as a homeschooler in Virginia? A: Virginia's compulsory attendance law (22.1-254, subsection A) states that all children who are five years old on or before September 30 of the school year must attend school. This could include public school, private school, a public or private preschool program, a private tutor, or home instruction. Q: What if I don't think my five-year-old is ready for school yet?
