Yep, I know exactly what you're talking about...
whether it be NY,Chicago, Cincinnati, St. Louis, Memphis, New Orleans or L.A., up until about 20 years ago, you could send your children to a Catholic parochial school and receive a fine education. Heck, I remember the Jewish used to send all their boys to Christian Brothers High Schools because of the quality of the education! “Political correctness” and lawsuits have pretty much ended that.
No discipline & no religious teachers have pretty much eliminated the fine education a child could receive in a Catholic school today.

It was also much harder for the boys to convince us that Youhavetohavesexeverydayoryoudie — when the school was full of strong, successful women in full vigor who never had sex at all.

I attended my local Catholic school for only a couple years of and received an excellent education in the short time there. When I got into public school, I didn’t learn anything for another 2 years, the classes were so advanced.

Of the top 10 students in my high school class, 8 had attended the Catholic school, which only ran through 8th grade.
