Catholic Education Advantages
There is no way to prove that Catholic Education is better than any other form of schooling, because everything is truly opinion based, but there are many facts against public and other private schools. Many people believe that sending their children to a Catholic school is a waste of money and time, but they could not be more wrong. I have grown up in the Catholic school system my whole life. I have realized that my peers and I have learned many more lessons on how to live a good life, and how to remain faithful. We are not only learning everyone’s typical subjects, but also what we need to be happy. Catholic schools are typically smaller and have more freedom to teach in different ways. This helps pupils become successful and reach their

    It is of great amazement that there are over seven-thousand catholic schools in America. Catholic education dates back to as far as the year 1606. By the latter 1600's, English colonists had set up their own, publicly supported schools. Since all the colonies were overwhelmingly Protestant, the rudimentary education often had a heavily fundamentalist Protestant population. During the same period, Catholic education progressed in non-British America: In New Orleans, the Franciscans opened a school for boys in 1718. The Ursulines opened one for girls in 1727.…

    My group members and I chose to take on this topic of issue because we felt like it was and still is mostly overlooked today. Furthermore, we as a group chose this topic because we all had different education backgrounds and we thought that it would be interesting topic to look up more information on. In the group, I was the only one who had a Catholic school background. I had never been into a public school until I came to William Paterson University. Unlike public school which was free, my mother paid tuition for me to have a good education. Catholic education has become a huge part of my life for many years. It is the reason today why my faith is powerful. At my elementary and high school, we would pray three times a day, and we would address…

    When it comes to Canadian elementary and secondary schools money has never been a problem. Both public and catholic schools get equal findings.However, it is in the best interest of Canadians to abolish the catholic education system and give that funding to the aboriginal schools. By having both a public and catholic education system, it creates a separation between all the Canadian citizens. Canada is known for being a multicultural country, therefore, catholic members of the nation should not be glorified by given money to host their individual schools which excluded members of other religions, especially when they money given as funding happens to be the citizens tax money.…

    First of all, charter schools don't have to follow as many government guidelines on their curriculums, so they have more freedom of what they can teach to their students. Another thing they say is better is limited class sizes. Due to the lottery type entry system, they can keep classes smaller, thus making a lower student to teacher ratio. This gives teachers more time with each student. More time with each student could lead to a better education. However, many of these theories haven't been proven true, and I still think charter schools don't have enough upside to keep…

    Choosing a community college over a four-year institution has several advantages. You’ll save money by paying less per credit hour than you would at a four-year school while taking time to explore your options. For example, the average cost per credit hour for in-district students attending Pulaski Technical College is $72 compared to about $154 per credit hour at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock (UALR). Most community colleges are generally close to their students’ homes and these students can also save a significant amount of money on the room, board, and transportation expenses associated with a college education. In some community colleges, student admission at a two year college has…

    As Nelson Mandela said once “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”My goal is to ensure and provide quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for as many kids as i can. In sub-Saharan Africa, the literacy rate is 59%, 41% of the kids and adults can’t read a book on a day to day basis like we can in America.. Africa has one of the worst literacy rates in the world. Africa is also one of the most poorest country in the world. Not only does educating young children benefit them with more knowledge, but it also helps the countries. More educated people can lead to great economical growth and development.…

    The Catholic Churych teaches that proper education and formation of every person should be a first priority of a society. Unfortunately, the way that education is provided in the U.S. today results in poorest children of the country pretty consistently receiving an education substantially worse to that which is available to those of our middle and upper classes. American funding for public primary and secondary schools is largely based off of property taxes collected from the area which results of course in less money available per student in poor school districts. The substandard funding received in poor school districts leaves poor children with schooling grounds that frankly promote failure. There is an undeniable disparity in high school graduation rates, and test scores between the general student population and those living beneath the poverty line. The poor education received by poor children in America is resulting in communities as a whole remaining in poverty over the course generations. The fact that the injustice of such poor opportunities being provided to these children says a lot about our society and none of it is good. The current system of providing children with free and open schools throughout the United States needs to be drastically changed insofar as eliminating the difference in opportunity provided for children of different economic classes.…

    I feel like religion is not determined by where you go to school, but the environment around them. What a child believes in and stays with is determined by what they encounter from their family, friends, and life experiences. “The Bible makes it clear that education is to begin in the home (Gen. 18:19; Deut. 6:7; Prov. 22:6; Eph. 6:4; II Tim. 1:5; 3:15). It makes parents responsible for their children and charges them with an educational task”. I feel like no matter where a child or adult goes to school, their religious education can only be taught at home. “It’s whatever combination of public, private, or home education a child receives, the parents’ influence on a child’s mind is preeminent” (Kidd). Horace Mann “lobbied to get a common (public) school system established in our country, his main point of emphasis was the secular/sacred divide that separated religion and education into two different and isolated compartments of life” (Mann). He argued that the home and the church should teach faith, values and the school should teach facts. From experience, I have learned more about my religion from my parents, church community, and the people I associate with on a daily basis. I felt like I could show my faith in school without having to sit in a class and learn about it. It’s hard enough sitting in a desk all day learning the…

    The final section of this paper will explore some of the challenges that are facing leadership in Catholic schools in Australia with regards to achieving the previously mentioned purpose. Whilst Rossiter acknowledges that “Even a ‘good’ education in Catholic identity will not guarantee that young people will develop and retain an active Catholic religious identity” (2013 p.21), educators in Catholic schools have a responsibility to ensure that students are provided with the opportunity to develop and thrive in the Catholic religious tradition. The list of challenges that impact the education system as a whole in contemporary Australia are wide and varied, however,…
