[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Great article in WSJ on the effect of Catholic schools on kids and self discipline.

https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-catholic-school-difference-1527894168

"The authors found statistically meaningful evidence that students in Catholic schools exhibited less disruptive behavior than their counterparts in other schools. “According to their teachers, Catholic school children argued, fought, got angry, acted impulsively, and disturbed ongoing activities less frequently,” the authors write. Specifically, students in Catholic schools “were more likely to control their temper, respect others’ property, accept their fellow students’ ideas, and handle peer pressure.” In other words, they exhibited more self-discipline."

"We also know that, especially in urban areas, black and Latino students who attend Catholic schools show higher achievement, higher graduation rates and higher college enrollment than those at nearby public schools."

“Don’t underestimate the power of religion to positively influence a child’s behavior. Religion isn’t the only way to foster self-discipline, the authors emphasize, but it’s effective compared to most of the alternatives in channeling youthful energy into productive self-control."[/quote]

This is exactly what Seton Education Partners does. And it's working well. 
We tried to hire founder to Gates Foundation K-12 but she launched this instead.

BTW, uniforms help. Full stop. [/quote]
