I think so. I am shocked when I hear how my peers schools were compared to the behaviour in our Cathlic school.
although I don't feel they brainwashed us like many people think. I was an athiest by the time I was 14 and quite accepted at school
Disipline was a lot higher than the normal CofE state schools. No talking back, walking on the left, uniforms proberly worn, respect etc. And we were highly respectful of the teachers. I don't see anything wrong with that.
I'm not sure it was just to do with the school. By the nature of going there it means our parents had made a consious decision about where to send the kids. Therefore they were already ahead of 90% of parents who don't think further tthan "send the kids to the nearest school". Going to a faith school meant the parents and kids going out of thier way to attend.
Nothing to do with faith, more to do with kids AND parents being involved in the education

Currently on supply in a faith school. Some of the children are well behaved, some aren't. Some of the well behaved children, don't behave all of the time Some of the less well behaved kids are really well behaved some of the time. Basically just like kids everywhere!

I would like to think so as I sent my son to a church school thinking along the lines that most people with faith are hopefully kind to others and that a certain level of respect is taught due to fundamental lessons learned from stories in the bible. The school itself is very nice and there don't seem to be any huge issues with bullying and bad behaviour. However, children are children and can all behave badly from time to time and also you never know what all the children's backgrounds are. It's all a game of chance really and hopefully I have chosen the right way for my child.

No! Not at all. As a part-time, I teach driver's ed in an area of wealthy people. 90% of the children that attend the classes come from prestige private schools based on their faith. They are very unruly! I've notice they have no respect for teachers and other classmates. They tease or poke fun at other classmates.
When I have problems with the kids, I discuss it with the parents and their usual response is "Not my kid! I pay over $10,000 a year to send them to school so they can be different." But, how quickly their attitude changes when I show them the classroom video.

I would have to say NO... I was even bullied by others at Church, so why would anyone be better in a school??? This is a cruel world; there are still evil people living in our society that are infiltered into the church..Goes to show that everyday, we still have the fight of good and evil going on..

no. i don't really believe this is the purpose sending your kids to a private (whatever) school, though. most parents probably do but i don't. if i decided to send my kid to catholic school it would be for the curriculum, not with the expectation that i could just sit back now and slack on the discipline because my kid will be completely behaved at all times. my sister-in-law went to a catholic high school. everyone acted the same as anyone else. their class was smaller so they might have all been closer with each other.

No. The children act don't behave better. They are like public school children too.

No bullying??? What about the bullying to believe what everyone else does, to recite the prayers when everyone else does, to behave as if you think this particular religion is the only right, holy, true one?
To me, facing up to pushy kids is a snap compared to that.

In my experience, it's just about the same, and depeding how "prestigious" the school is some of those kids may have so much money and their parents may be bankrolling the school, that said child will never get in trouble. Kids will be kids. Also, don't forget about e-bullying.

Hell no- I was bullied to no end, to the point of not wanting to attend school anymore- in primary school. When I moved to a non-faith high school, guess what? No more bullying!
Funny, that...
