I firmly believe that if I hadn't gone to O'Dea I probably would have been a HS dropout or some other complete slacker.

honestly, the bottom line is this: I'm not going to send my kid to a school where they believe in magic. I just can't do it.

[/ QUOTE ]Public schools basically rely on magic to teach their students.

I went to Catholic grade school and public high school so I can laugh with impunity.

Excellent point.

Even if you aren't Catholic, I think that you can see the importance of a school that has built upon something trying to live up those expectations. They have a moral code and with this decision they are trying to uphold it. At a public school I guess it would be different and there would be many grounds for argueing a decision like this, but at a Catholic school I am really glad that they are making actions like this and, also, that they are outlining clearly why they are doing so. As a Catholic, I went to public school becasue the Catholic schools can be worse, but some people running this school have got their heads on straight and I am glad to see it.
