I consider myself "a victim of a Catholic School Education, "which I've regretted almost every day of my adult life. Instead of teaching us the fundamentals of math beyond addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, we were taught the Baltimore Catechism and how to "Diagram Sentences." Science classes were as much of a joke as sex education. Our religion classes were abominable! We didn't learn Scriptures; we learned the Catechism of the Roman Catholic Church, which is hardly the same. We were also taught by mean, uncaring nuns, with grudges against their celibate lives. If it were up to me, every Catholic School would have its doors shuttered! I recently wrote a blog about "St. Izzy, the Patron Saint of the internet. " It is a result of my Catholic School Education, and it can be found at: http://jeannieguzman1.wordpress.com/2012/05/22/st-izzy-of-seville-the-patron-saint-of-the-internet/ I have close to a Master degree in Education.
