Uh oh...time to get all the dirt on Tony now. ;-)

I was very fortunate to go to Catholic school from K-12. For me, it was a great educational experience. When I went to public college, I was WAY better prepared than many folk.

That having been said, Catholic (or parochial or private school for that matter) schooling isn't for everyone. My brother hated it and didn't do well there. Once he went to a magnet school, he thrived.

Home schooling has become much more acceptable...and much more successful. I think the key is making sure that the children have social connections outside the home.
