Oh... and here's one that's REALLY going to piss you off Sapphi.

The best performing schools in the US?

Catholic Schools... which don't even usually have requirments.

This is controlling for Socioeconomic status too.

 

Why would this piss me off?

Because you see missioanries as a con job even though nobody is actually forced to learn about education.

I'd think a school that mandates learning about the catholic religion and tests you on it like it were math or history would piss you off.

Well, it would, if it were Governemnt funded. or if people were forced to go there. However it's a private institution and people aren't forced to send their kids there (I know I wouldn't).

And missionaries are con artists.

I don't see the difference.  People aren't forced to accept missionaries help... and hell, even if they want the help don't have to listen to it.

Versus Catholic schools, where if you do want the help of supeiror schooling you do need to listen to their religious teachings.

Either way, people should look harder at those schools and see why they do so much better.

Actually, considering the places where missionaries activate, it's really accept their help or die. It's quite easy to send your child to a school that also doesn't function as a religious propaganda institution. I know for sure I wouldn't (quite frankly I don't know why a non-Catholic would send their child there).

People should look harder at why those schools succeed (it sure ain't the religious indoctrination though).
