Actually it was exactly the other way around. I was apalled to find for the first time in my life teachers who were unprepared, total disorder in the class room. I never cracked a book from 9th grade until law school. just coasted on what I learned in Catholic School and was on honor roll the whole time. Even today most of the parentts who I know who send their kids to Catholic schools are happy, whereas with a few exceptions parents who send their kids to public school are not happy. Oddly enough my daughter went to public school and did well. However she had strong parental support and extra tutoring. Fully 1/2 of the kids who attended the Catholic School I went to were orphans (there was a catholic orphanage across the street) and none were rich. I am still in contact in many and almost every one of them did very well. That is my experience. lj
