reveal things about the actions and behaviors of a minor or a student
in their charge. Who would send their child to a school if the school
feels free to announce to the press how their child behaves?
Catholic Schools actively recruit parents in many cities because
they need the tuition money that few can afford these days.
They used to be funded more by church plate collections, but
those are waayyyy down these days. When I went to Catholic
School(which I loved and am most grateful to the Sisters of Notre
Dame for their complete devotion to my excellent education),
my parents paid $60 a month for me, $30 a month for my sister,
and the third and following children (some people had 12-14 children
in their families in the 1960s) went FREE. They can't do that anymore;
there aren't enough Sisters and Brothers who used to live in poverty
and teach just for the love of God and humanity, and as I said,
church attendance and collections are way down.
