<<<I'm sure there are a few.>>> From my own experience with religious schools, I found more than just a few,. Regardless, we may be biased on this subject. But just think what it would be like attending a madrassa. Can't you see how oppressive that would be. How can those kids express displeasure with their education. I am sure the madrassa teaching establishment would tell you that there are only a few maladjusted kids. <<<Should religious schools be banned then?>>> Of course not. Even in those madrassa situations, a kid going to a madrassa is better off than a kid not going to school at all. I admit however, that for the most part on average, from my experience kids coming out of religious schools are better educated than kids coming out of public schools. But who knows what the reasons are. Public schools have to accept everyone. Religious schools can kick out undesirables. A public school that requires kids to pass a test to get in, like Stuyvesant High School, do very well. Stuyvesant is a public hs in New York City, where tuition is free, has over 3000 students. Anyone living in New YorkCity can apply. They get no religious training. Their AVERAGE SAT score is 2090. What does that prove?
