Catholic Schools
Perdition
-
-
-
the church was modernizing, so there seemed less need for children to only attend parish schools
thought that unless certain steps were taken, all alternatives to public schooling would disappear
-
during this downfall, schools were changing in many ways; non-Catholic students/teachers, fewer nuns
-
-
-
Rise
-
first one in 1606 in St. Augustine, FL
-
-
local government did support, but government aid being more important than religious institutions put a stop to it
played part in the emergence of government-funded "common schools", today's public school system
immigrants coming to the US played a big part in Catholic schools, made the nation go from a mere 3% to now 16% Catholic
baby boom caused a huge influx of Catholic school need; non-public-school enrollment increased by 117%
Why they matter?
-
-
-
higher test scores, graduation rates, and college attendence
-
staffed by adults who believe students can and must learn, regardless of income, race, or status
-
-
Obstacles
