So Sandmann isn’t Jewish ... Yeah, I finally read the whole thread.
Still ... it’s not terribly uncommon. I’m the product of 16 years of Catholic education; I have taught in Catholic high school for a coupe of years; Mrs. Mountain has taught in Catholic schools for almost 40 years. At her current school, the student body is about 70% Catholic. So I guess my point is that even though he’s not Jewish, it wouldn’t be terribly surprising if he were.
Well I did one tour under the yard stick in the first grade. LOL! Course that was back in 52/53 time frame.
There is a Hebrew academy 20 minutes from the Covington high school. I’m sure they would send their kids there.
Wondering what percent are not christians?
I attended public schools. Our honor program was 75 percent Jewish and still my closest friends today. We are respectful of one others religions.none ever sent their kids to catholic schools. One is orthodox jew and a judge. His kids all went to Hebrew academy.others to excellent public schools. g
Small, but definitely non-zero.
That's an oxymoron, IMO, but that's a whole different discussion.
I would expect the more "orthodox" Jewish parents to send their kids to Hebrew schools, for the same reasons that faithful Catholic parents who don't homeschool SHOULD send their kids to Catholic Schools. Still, I'm aware of Protestant, Jewish, mohammedan, Buddhist, and Hindu children in Catholic schools.
My mother broke the trend. She was a teacher and I was the first to not attend catholic school. I thank God every day for her decision. The schools on Long Island were and are fantastic. I sent my kid to public schools as well.
I thank God that my parents did not send me to a school that banned God. Like it or not, every government school in this once great Republic is required to be atheistic. The days of government schools being effectively Protestant schools are long gone.
I started school in 1957. They didnt ban God. We said the pledge of allegiance every day one nation under God. Every Wed afternoon the public school buses would take us to religious instruction at our local catholic church. I also benefited from attending school with people diff than I.
Every parent should do what’s best for their children and family, although I find the whole home schooling thing weird. Who wants to isolate their kids?
Phillips: They were there looking for trouble, looking for something....
This guy is his own worst enemy. Maybe he should give more interviews. Speak at the DNC convention.
Every Wed afternoon the public school buses would take us to religious instruction at our local catholic church.
Such "abuse" of government resources for religious purposes would never be permitted today, and anyone who suggested it would be hounded out of society as a bigot and an extremist. You realize that, right?
For full disclosure, I have suggested on this forum many times that government schools should be abolished. I'm quite serious about that.
I find the whole government schooling thing weird. Who wants to subject their kids to a bunch of unionized government bureaucrats?
Who wants to isolate their kids?
You might want to learn more about home-schooling from people who actually do it. Best to let people with personal experience in the field address that objection.
Not debating you anymore. Like I said parents hopefully make the best decision for their kids as mine did for me and I did for mine. Hopefully you did the same. The end.
