[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just don't buy the "good guy" aspect that PP describes. Yes to Academics and Athletics. And yes to "community" (Catholic Mafia, as mentioned by another poster) but I've known many MD boys and I wouldn't call them "good guys"..Sure, there are exceptions, but I don't believe this is the rule.

They may not be 100% successful at producing "good guys". But that is what they are trying to achieve and thats what they tell the boys is important.[/quote]

My opinion is Mater Dei emphasises being a good guy without being effeminate.  Some people don't approve.  A school can't be everything to all people and be a good school.  Mater Dei is really  really   really  really   really  really special.  I went there...then Churchill...then Umd...I was captain of the Wrestling team at Churchill, wrestled for Umd, was a OC beach patrol lifeguard when OCBP finished 3rd in the world skills compettion, created my own company  and Mater Dei had the most impact on my life all the way to the core. I sent my son there...who was limited athleticaly...he came out stronger with skills that will last a lifetime.[/quote]
