Not that long ago in our province there was quite the discussion about Faith Based education.
Since then I've read some interesting research about Faith in education. There's an article here that, at least to my amateur eye, has some solid research fundamentals and points out some of the positive results of Faith based education.
Even more encouraging are the results of the Cardus surveys. Here are both the American and Canadian editions.
I find the results of this research to be most encouraging. The schools that our grandparents and parents have spent so much time and effort on are clearly having an impact. Hooray,we have more kids! Job security for teachers like me! Seriously though we actually feel that we have more of an obligation to care for the environment than our public sector counterparts! And so many more.
Oh, there's room for improvement. What do you mean we don't vote more than our public school counterparts? We actually campaign for political parties less? Why not?
I look forward to these schools doing the same for my children and grandchildren, with a few improvements.
Go read the report!
This is my professional Blog where I share my personal thoughts on education.
