Catholic education has largely been a failure.
You may be right but "Catholic education" MUST begin in the home...where DAD insists on saying grace, DAD goes to Mass on Sundays and DAD obeys the ten commandments.
Boys and girls learn what MEN and WOMEN are supposed to be from DAD and Mom. That usually, but not always, requires an intact family.
Children don't START Kindergarten until they are five...and by then the "cake is baked."
Am I off-base here?
