I can only say about my kid's private school, and a few others, which happens to be a Protestant Christian school. I've checked out Catholic Christian schools of the same good calibre. I have a relative who sends his kids to a conservative Jewish religious school, where the same basic Values approach to education are taken. These schools are safer, happier & produce better educated kids on a whole lot less money, and with a whole lot more love & support for the children. What's their big secret of success? The clock has simply been frozen circa 1962, with the exception of computers & such. I don't have to worry about my kid being actively exposed to such corruptions to such a degree. Sure, no school is perfect, but public schools in old New England are becoming intolerable! At my kid's private school, which runs on a shoe string budget & charges per student tuition about 1/4 of local public schools, they start the day with a simple prayer, pledge to the American flag, study correct American history (good & bad), study evolution versus creation based on evidence, study The Holy Bible daily with basic reinforcement of Absolute Rights & Wrongs, and do NOT get sent off to some government reproductive confidential health clinic to get HIV, STD & pregnancy screening behind parents' backs! We have no problems with violence or hate crimes, as the children are taught The Ten COmmandments of Moses & The Golden Rule of JESUS daily in everything they study. The children are taught rational patriotism (not blind), to be good stewards of GOD's Creation (but not overboard), to pursue scientific knowledge (but not worship it) and to appreciate abstinence until marriage is GOD's plan for human happiness (even though it's not trouble free). Most of us parents are not wealthy, and make great sacrifices to send our kids to these local private religious schools. We can't even get bus service for our school taxes paid for our kids! I personally would prefer to eat bread & water, than to give my child over to these local corrupted public schools up in old New England. End.
