Do you think putting your children in a good Catholic or Jewish school will help them in the future as for?

Question

education and jobs or a christian school

Answer 1

If you are Catholic, and want your child to grow up that way, then put them in a Catholic school. If your Jewish, then do a Jewish school. If you are neither, then dont send your child to a school that they will not understand. It would be better if you dont have a set religion, to put your kids in a non-religous private school, or to put them in public school. You can get the benifits of private school without the religeon if you have the money. I am Christian. I will raise my children, yes, i am a mom, to be Christian. But the problem I find with school like that is that they dont get a different view of the world. This is a scarry world. Our children need to know how to function in it, and need to know how to stand up for what they believe in. Another problem is that a lot of religios schools teach discrimination about other beliefs around the world. Even though we dont agree with another religion, we should still respect them. I just dont want to see any child grow up without an understanding of other people. If you do send them to a religios school, make sure you reinforce an understanding of world wide community.

Answer 2

All schools are basically the same. They give the same subjects. Whether or not you don't go to a Catholic, Jewish, Christian or even an Islamic school, your children will learn their basic things that will get them a degree in college. But, what do you want your children to believe? Each school has their own religion: if you get your children into a Catholic school, they will learn Catholicism and everything else that they would achieve in a Jewish school, but in a Jewish school, they'd learn about Judaism and still get the same teaching they'd get in a Christian school, but if they go to a Christian school, they'd learn Christianity/Catholicism and everything they'd learn in an Islamic school and so forth.
Depending on the funding of the school, they would actually have good futures than if they lived in a public schools. I'd suggest private schools that offer little to all or any religious attributes.

Answer 3

Not necessarily, but it should help make them better people.

In my opinion:

Catholic schools provide a good moral and religious base for children. As a rule they are also safer than public schools.

Educationally, most of them are about average. Although some are exceptionally good and a very few are bad. Your school and/or diocese should have some test scores for comparison.

In general, Catholic school do a good job with average and above average kids.

However the resources of most Catholic schools are limited. If students need extra attention due to being way over or way under average, then their needs may not be properly met.

With love in Christ.

Answer 4

Ill admit - I am an atheist, yet I was raised a Christian and was forced through Christian schools. AS a result, I feel I was given a better overall education than I would have received going to a large public school. However, the quality of the education was based upon small class sizes and teacher/student interaction - something nearly unheard of in public schools. It had nothing to do with God.

Answer 5

Yes, I think the children who are brought up in the type of schools you listed are better guided and there is no leaving any child behind or out. In the Public school systems, there are many children who are allowed to fall behind. In a Religious school, when the children grow up they seem to have better manners and feelings for other people.

Answer 6

Indeed it will, but only because that means you're rich and can afford that already. The rich get richer and the poor get angrier. Placing a child in a denominational school (especially a Jewish school) means that they have rich friends for the rest of their lives. The rich tend to conglomerate and know each other, so financially, yes, it will be a good idea. But, they won't be able to think for themselves and end up doing a lot of coke or having a drinking problem...

Answer 7

Totally depends on the quality of your public school system.
We have a couple of Catholic highschools with superior college placement, but they cost a pretty penny. I think it depends on the talents of your kids too. Not all are Ivy League college bound. Private schools do have smaller class sizes, which I think are greatly beneficial.

Answer 8

I went to a Catholic school for the 6th grade. I had attended public school until that point. I was bored senseless because I had already learned everything they were teaching in earlier grades. That experience has always given me a poor impression of private schools.

Answer 9

i was raised in a christian school, our alternative classes were pe, band, and choir.

so guess how many jobs u can get with ur skills being the same as everyone elses, but no special classes taken.

i left my senior year, because the christian school wouldnt let me leave campus to attend college early, even though i had all my credits for school. *shrug* i think they are horrible for getting people ready to enter society.

Answer 10

High academic schools help more into getting them in a better college if there grades are high
