I was lucky enough to have been taught by dedicated teachers from 1st through 12th grades. Sisters of St. Joseph in elementary school and Marist Brothers in high school. There was no agenda, other than a spiritual one, that I remember. It was the ABC's and 1+1=2 type of an education. It was the early 50's and 60's, before the progressive policies had had a chance to take full hold of the educational system. They still read the bible in public schools back then. Sadly, not so today.

People in my area who are my age remember Mr Goodman who came to all the elementary schools and told bible stories.
