One of my kids is in Catholic school- I don’t see how a “secular school” can function the same. Cathholic schools have a moral compass that points to God. Secular schools have moral relativist compasses that swing wherever the holder wishes it to swing.
The only model for kids born to illiterate teenage girls who are in their 3rd, 4th, 5th or 6th generation in the DC projects that MIGHT work as well as a faith based curriculum- would be a military style school that requires discipline and self control. Those traits are anathema to the adminstrators who have risen to the top of the PhD education dung heap by pumping the victimization culture.
Moral relativism is already available for free in the public schools.
Catholic schools usually have a more disciplined approach, so I'm interested to see whether the discipline works as well without the faith-base.
There are only two possible religious worldviews possible for any school: God-centered or godless.
Neither is religiously neutral in content or consequences.
