The article, “Give Us this Day Our Daily Lesson”, is about the issues between two different schools, the Catholic schools and public schools, involving their distinctive ways of teachings and the privileges received from the government in term of funding. The article states the conflicts between both schools and provides solutions for minimizing these issues. Today’s society largely revolves around Catholic faith which explains the vast number of Catholic churches, and the enhanced support received from the government to Catholic schools. Catholic schools are programmed to be able to accommodate to non-Catholic students and compensate for their religious beliefs as well. For instance, students have the choice to take a religion course where

Post Vatican II (1962-65), and with globalisation and changes in immigration policy, the face of Catholic Australia has changed. In the 1960s and 1970s, Australia went through an enormous social change after World War II and there was an influx of non-English speaking migrants, including from countries like Italy, Malta, Croatia. These people practiced Catholicism differently and in their own language.

Education plus God equals success. While this statement is true, the job of incorporating the truth about God into everything taught is becoming increasingly more difficult. Schultz charted public education’s view of reality, truth and value throughout the history of the United States to show how an unbiblical worldview has increasingly taken hold of society, the educational system and

Sitting in a classroom filled with several maps of the world, vast spines of colorful books, and watching the clock hit the next hour, there is nothing more that a seven-year-old would rather do than be stuck sitting in a desk for eight hours of the day. Looking back to when I was young and learning about the history and background of the church, I was illiterate. According to Bud Heckman’s definition, “religious literacy is the understanding of the profound role that religions plays in human social, cultural, and political life in both contemporary and historical contexts” (2).  Learning about religion seemed

Coming to public highs school from the christian missionary community school was taking a step into a new world. I encountered individuals with the different social philosophy and ideals, some of the ideas appeared unfamiliar as if it was foreign. Interacting with the fellow classmates and the teachers introduced me to the world, taught me to protect my own beliefs and embrace fresh ideas. Day by day, Kealakehe made me into a listener with a strong ground from a stubborn strong head. In Kealakehe High School, a home of the students from the various background, it is simply impossible

In reading Huebner’s The Lure of the Transcendent, I now understand how he is relating religion in education to the act of conversion. He also discusses the language of love, the concept of love, the excitement and anticipation we have as teachers and well as what the students will also experience. He feels that competency and discipline have replaced care in schools, and I agree 100% with him.

This religion consists of the belief in one God and one God only as well as purity of the soul of its members. Although some may believe the Catholic Church does not have a unique culture, the religion has shown a very active role in society as it is easily the largest religion internationally and is often associated with education. During the residential school era, the Catholic Church was as active in youth education as it ever had been and believed this association with education could strengthen the faith. The system of education used was “strict and efficient” (Hanson) and similar to the native ways, practiced worship, prayer, charity, and tradition. Overall the mentality and history of this religion may be different to that of native ways, however, when analyzed well enough it is difficult to not see the many hidden

Catholic schools that teach catholic education support multicultural and multi-faith Australians while encouraging students to seek and develop their relationship with god. (ncen.catholic.edu.au.) Catholic education is taught in all catholic schools in grades from year 1 to 12. All catholic school students aged 5-18 learn catholicism. The education is based on Archdiocesan guidelines approved by the Archbishop.

For the majority of my childhood, I never questioned the Catholic teachings, practices, or beliefs that I was taught to encompass into my everyday life. Being raised in an extremely catholic family and attending a catholic elementary school led to a very unique form of socialization – the process where an individual develops an identity and culture through interacting and communicating with others (Sandstrom 2014). As a member of my city’s catholic community, there were numerous expectations to maintain, however, as I entered my early teenage years I began to question Catholicism and the teachings that were instilled in these institutions. By questioning the legitimacy of the information that priests, teachers, and my parents were sharing,

St. Charles Borromeo Academy, in cooperation with parents in their role as the primary educators, extends the mission of the Church in forming true disciples of Jesus Christ. Through a Catholic Classical Liberal Arts education centered on Christ, we provide an integrated approach fostering a love for truth, beauty, and goodness, seeking to instill in students a natural desire for wisdom and

Teachers have said that many of their students did not know that Catholicism is a branch of Christianity (Wertheimer). It is important to understand that different denominations can be under a central religion because they have a main belief with other differences. Students have trouble understanding books such as “Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter without talking about the Puritans or discuss Elie Wiesel’s Night without learning about Judaism and the Holocaust” (Wertheimer). Many of the school required books contain aspects of a religion that students may be unfamiliar with, which can cause a misunderstanding of the book. Students may not know the reason their peers are doing their religious practices (Wertheimer). They may see a prayer happening or someone wearing special clothing for their religion. That may cause them to become puzzled and jump to wrong conclusions about the person. Schools must end this confusion by teaching the students about

Under each common argument, for every source included, I summarize the argument and how it addresses my puzzle. Immediately after the brief summary, I acknowledge the accomplishments of the existing literature and also critique the weaknesses of each argument. The primary shortcoming for all the existing arguments is that they don’t consider alternative options for the decline of Catholic education. I also include a recommendation for each argument found in every group. Once I analyze the existing literature in relation to my puzzle, I then present my

“Spiritual, moral, cultural, mental and physical developments are essential aspects of religious education and should be clearly identifiable” (Welsh Assembly Government, 2008, 10).
