[quote=Anonymous]I taught at a k-8 Catholic school for many years. From my experience, the school provided many opportunities for public speaking: reading and cantoring at mass, morning news show, many class presentations, grade programs (All Saints, Thanksgiving).

I also think the community itself is a big influence. The school and parish organized activities for the kids to socialize (CYO, donut Sundays). There was also a lot of interaction with parents and teachers.  I feel the kids will often behave better when they see the adults know each other.

However, as in any group of kids, there will always be many introverts, who along with their parents, just kept to themselves. Not all were naturally outgoing and felt comfortable with adults.

My kids were also students at this school and then went onto public school. I feel the Catholic k-8 education gave them confidence to interact with their new peers and teachers with kindness and respect. Now, are they perfect?  Not at all![/quote]
