[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Definitely look into the schools, esp high schools. Some of the Catholic schools around here are filled with all the kids that got kicked out of public school and had to find a Catholic school. Paul VI used to be known as the school where all the bad kids went when they got expelled from the public schools (don't know if it's still that way, but was a few years ago). [/quote]

Interesting blanket statement [/quote]

It's not a blanket statement, it is specific to this area actually. And I even narrowed it down to a specific school that I have experience with.

My spouse moved from another area of the country where the public schools are terrible so everyone sent their kids to Catholic schools. Having grown up in this area, I've seen that all the kids I knew that got expelled from public school went to a Catholic school because for the most part, it was the only viable option since private schools (non-religious) cost a ton more.

On the contrary, Catholic schools by and large do not tolerate bad behavior, so your statement is mostly untrue.  My daughter's school counseled out two kids in her class during her time at her K-8.  Both came from public school and didn't last a year.  Catholic schools are known to turn out much more respectful human beings.

There was a study done about 5 years ago about Catholic Schools and self discipline.  I suggest you read about it.  Here is a WSJ article about the study.  [b]The findings showed "statistically meaningful evidence that students in Catholic schools exhibited less disruptive behavior than their counterparts in other schools."

Well duh, they have the power to kick out students they don’t like.[/quote]
